Doing Enterprise Architecture by Tom Graves
When you're doing enterprise architecture, what should you actually do, in what sequence, for what business purpose? What skills and leadership do you need? What results should you expect? And how can you prove the business value of what you do? For process and practice in the real enterprise, methodologies and frameworks such as TOGAF, FEAF and Zachman will all help, but it's these practical concerns that often matter most. And that's what this book will show you. Topics covered include: -how to extend existing IT-centric architecture to the whole of the enterprise -how to identify business vision, values, structure and purpose, and include these as core anchors for your enterprise architecture -how to map business functions, services, information-systems and process flows across the whole enterprise -how to respond to changes in strategy, regulation, market and environment -how to plan for business-continuity, disaster-recovery and risk-management -how to tackle intractable 'wicked problems' in the business context -how to keep maintaining and extending the agility and value of the architecture If you want to bring your enterprise architecture practice to its full business potential, this is one book you'll definitely need.
