About the Book
This anthology from the Tetradian weblog explores why we need to expand enterprise-architecture from its IT-centric roots into a true whole-of-enterprise scope and scale, and how to do this in architecture-practice.
This book includes about 40 posts and 95 images from the weblog. These posts are split into six groups:
- Selling EA - describes how to present to potential clients the full role and value of enterprise-architecture.
- Saving EA - provides a structured review of challenges and failure-points that limit the use of mainstream enterprise-architectures beyond IT.
- Reframing EA - explores practices and themes that would need to be addressed in a whole-of-enterprise architecture.
- The No-Plan Plan - presents a summary of content required for whole-enterprise architecture.
- Whole-EA Standard - outlines the structure and content for a proposed standard for whole-enterprise architecture.
- The Big-Picture - assesses what would be needed to extend whole-enterprise architecture to a fully global scope and scale.
