Enterprise Architecture Perspective
Many enterprise architecture (EA) programs are less than effective or threatened by extinction because they are disconnected from getting things done and cannot demonstrate their business value. After decades pursuing this discipline, organizations are still trying to understand what EA is, what it does, and what it looks like when it is successful. In this Perspective document, Research Director Michael Rollings outlines EA as a discipline, describes how you can avoid common pitfalls and misconceptions, and provides prescriptions for improving the effectiveness of your EA program.
