About the Book
For more than a decade, enterprise architecture has been comfortably ensconced within the IT domain. Yet in many organisations, the gap between business and IT is a gaping chasm, whilst some other silos are more like separate worlds. To gain the best business benefits from architecture, it’s time to move out, bridging the silos to link everything the enterprise is and does.
This book provides a structured ‘conversion course’ for IT-architects wanting to get to grips with the much broader scope of enterprise-scale architecture. Topics covered include:
- how to leverage existing skills with IT-architecture tools such as Zachman, TOGAF and PRINCE2
- how to resolve differences of structure and scope between IT-architecture and enterprise architecture
- how to adapt existing IT-centric frameworks and methodologies for this broader role
- how to align architecture with enterprise-wide governance
- how to define, create, share and update the appropriate architectural information
If you want to take your enterprise-architecture skills to a whole new level, this is one book you’ll definitely need.
The Tetradian Enterprise Architecture Series presents new developments on theory, principles and practice of enterprise architecture – moving beyond IT to the whole enterprise.
