Study Notes
Overview of Enterprise Architecture
- Architecture combines art and science for designing complex structures in organizational contexts.
- It serves as a strategic tool, guiding organizations through planned development.
- Enterprise refers to organizations sharing common goals or outcomes.
Principles of Enterprise Architecture
- Coherent collection of principles, methods, and models shapes organizational structure and business processes.
- It aligns information systems and infrastructure with strategic objectives.
External and Internal Drivers
- External drivers include business and IT strategies influenced by regulatory frameworks, laws, and technological standards.
- Internal drivers focus on organizational vision, mission, and IT infrastructure.
Governance in Enterprise Architecture
- Strategic management coordinates the identification, selection, and implementation of long-term objectives.
- The Balanced Scorecard (BSC) assesses enterprise performance across four perspectives: customer, financial, internal processes, and learning & growth.
Business Model Development
- Business Model Development defines products, services, target markets, and anticipated expenses.
- The Business Model Canvas visually represents key elements: value propositions, activities, resources, partners, customer segments, relationships, channels, cost structure, and revenue streams.
Enterprise Architecture Process
- Involves steps from initial idea creation, analysis, design, implementation, to maintenance and updates of operational systems.
Quality Management
- Overseess activities and tasks to maintain product/service quality and efficiency in achieving organizational goals.
IT Governance and Support
- Ensures effective IT use towards achieving organizational goals through frameworks such as COBIT (control objectives) and ITIL (best practices in IT services).
Symbolic and Semantic Models
- Symbolic models use symbols to express system properties, while semantic models interpret the meaning behind these symbols.
IT Implementation
- Combines software or applications with management and engineering processes for effective enterprise operations.
- Capability Maturity Model Integration (CMMI) assesses organizational maturity across five levels, from chaotic processes to continuous improvement.
ArchiMate Language
- The ArchiMate specification provides a standardized modeling language for enterprise architecture.
- Supported by various tool vendors and consulting firms, it enhances communication and analysis within organizations.
