Toward a Pragmatic Approach to Enterprise Architecture
Enterprise Architecture frameworks are essential for aligning IT and business.
However, their partial implementation can result in overwhelming complexity, are subject to resource constraints, require culture shifts, and don’t integrate with existing processes.
Learn how to implement Enterprise Architecture frameworks (TOGAF and ArchiMate) to reap the benefits of a structured common language while effectively managing complexity, budget, time, and cultural changes.
Using these steps:
1. Start Small: Assess maturity and define goals
2. Be flexible: Prioritize key elements of TOGAF and ArchiMate
3. Align with Existing Processes: Embedding architecture practices
4. Agile: Ensuring success with agile principles
5. Cultural Shifts: Empower and train stakeholders
6. Automation: Pick the right tools to simplify workflows and boost productivity
Checklists for each step are included so you can stay on track.
