Creating a career in enterprise-architecture

This anthology from the Tetradian weblog provides overviews and commentary on how to develop a career in enterprise-architecture, business-architecture and related fields, and on the various roles that apply in those fields. It is intended to be a useful introduction for newcomers to enterprise-architecture.

This book includes about 30 posts and 30 images from the weblog. These posts are split into two main groups:

  • Architecture as Career - offers practical guidance for anyone interested in developing a career in enterprise-architecture or any of the related disciplines.
  • Architecture Roles - describes the different roles across the overall architecture domains, what they each do, and how they link together across the whole to support effective change.

    This anthology from the Tetradian weblog provides essential information on enterprise-architecture and related disciplines. It covers a wide range of themes across the entire scope of the domain, and is likely to be particularly useful for newcomers to the field.

    The book includes about 40 posts and 85 images from the weblog. These posts are split into six groups:

    • Basics: Enterprise and Organisation - clarifies the distinctions between ‘enterprise’ and ‘organisation’, and hence what ‘enterprise-architecture’ should mean in practice.
    • Basics: Architecture and Design - shows how and why to differentiate between architecture and design, and the different roles they play in the overall process of change.
    • Basics: Method - presents methods for various specific tasks in architectures, their purpose, and how and why they add value to the overall process of change.
    • Basics: Architecture In Miniature - illustrates how enterprise-architecture principles and methods can be useful right down at the small-project level.
    • Basics: Checklists - shows how to use checklists to support architecture and design.
    • Basics: Terms and Definitions - provides clarity on terms and definitions used in enterprise-architecture.
