Tools and toolsets for enterprise architecture
Tools and toolsets for enterprise architecture
Support for design, discipline and decision-making
About the Book
This anthology from the Tetradian weblog explores a range of topics about the kind of toolsets that we need to support the work in enterprise-architectures and the like.
It includes around 50 posts and 90 images, and is split into five sections:
- Toolsets: Integration - a set of overviews that bring it all together
- Toolsets: Why - a decade’s-worth of explorations in the ‘Why‘ behind the need
- Toolsets: How - about how this blending of toolset and platform would be used in real-world practice
- Toolsets: What - some examples of the ‘What‘ that we’d need to cover across the whole-enterprise space, in terms of notations and the like
- Toolsets: Implementation - some practical notes towards implementation, getting beyond conjecture and towards making it real
