Story and Enterprise Architecture
Story and Enterprise Architecture
Using story to support architecture-development
About the Book
This anthology from the Tetradian weblog explores how concepts of story can be applied in enterprise-architecture and the like - not just as a support-tool, but as architecture-frameworks in their own right.
This book includes almost forty posts and eighty images from the weblog. These posts are split into three groups:
- Story: Role - outlines the role of story in enterprise-architecture and the like.
- Story: Lead-in - provides worked-examples of how to use a real-world story to introduce and illustrate a complex, challenging or technical topic.
- Story: Frameworks - describes story-oriented frameworks that can be used to guide architecture- and process-development.
