About the Book
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.
