Description
Implementing successful and cost-effective enterprise architecture projects is made easier with this new approach. Instead of micromanaging system implementation, the focus shifts to establishing clear goals and leaving details to implementation teams. This allows for more agile organization and efficient use of resources. The traditional system architecture frameworks, such as Zachman or The Open Group Architecture Framework, are not well-suited for modern enterprise architecture efforts. A new approach is presented in this book, based on research into complex adaptive systems and emergent behaviors. By simplifying the task of establishing and maintaining the enterprise architecture, costs can be reduced and resources freed up to focus on more productive pursuits. With this approach, system implementers are given the freedom to rapidly adapt to changing user needs, while the enterprise architect focuses on achieving business goals rather than building and maintaining models.
