This book condenses a decade of building and rolling out platforms into practical advice for platform teams and users.5300+ happy readers! Also as Paperback edition

  4. IT Enterprise Architecture Management
    A Practitioner's Guide to Systematic IT Alignment
    Wolfgang Keller and Florian Oelmaier

    Software and infrastructure only create value when they pull in the same direction as the business. This book shows IT leaders how to get there: from shaping IT strategy and the architecture roadmap to the daily discipline of IT and architecture governance, all built on a pattern-based approach that adapts to your organization rather than forcing it into a template.Grounded in established frameworks such as TOGAF, COBIT, and ITIL, it pairs solid fundamentals with numerous real-world examples — and gives growing weight to compliance and IT security, now central concerns of any IT management agenda.This English edition is based on the German standard work on the subject, fully revised in its 4th edition (late 2024). It is current with TOGAF 10 and reflects recent developments in business-oriented enterprise architecture — including the open-source tool EDGY and patterns for digital strategy — alongside the latest trends in IT risk management and cybersecurity architecture.

  5. User Needs Mapping
    Aligning Teams Around What Matters
    Rich Allen

    Most teams don’t suffer from a lack of effort—they suffer from a lack of alignment. Goals are misaligned, boundaries are unclear, and work often centres on internal priorities instead of user needs— resulting in frustration and delays. User Needs Mapping: Aligning Teams Around What Matters offers a practical, visual way to reconnect organisations with the people they serve. Instead of guessing at structure or copying someone else’s model, this book shows you how to expose hidden dependencies, identify genuine user needs, and make better choices about team design and responsibilities. Through real-world case studies and step-by-step guidance, you’ll learn how to navigate tensions between wants, needs, and feasibility, create clarity of purpose, and build teams that deliver meaningful outcomes. Whether you’re a leader, product manager, architect, or change agent, this book equips you to turn complexity into clarity and enable teams to flow faster—aligned around what matters.
