About the Book
This anthology from the Tetradian weblog highlights part of the work that we did to break enterprise-architecture out of the IT-centric box, and restructure it to support the whole enterprise. Whole-enterprise architecture, or Whole-EA, provides a literal ‘the architecture of the enterprise’, connecting everything together as ‘equal citizens’, across every type of content or context, for every scope and scale.
This book includes about 35 posts and 95 images from the weblog, and is split into three sections:
- Whole-EA: Principles, Tools and Methods - maps out some of the definitions, principles, tools, techniques and methods that are needed whilst working on architectures at a whole-of-enterprise level.
- Whole-EA: Examples - presents examples of how real-world questions and concerns can interweave across the many layers of a whole-of-enterprise architecture.
- Whole-EA: Challenges - highlights the impact of pushback from those who objected to any change in the role or scope of enterprise-architecture.
