Enterprise Architecture
Enterprise Architecture provides a framework for effective IT investment management practices. Implementing an effective enterprise architecture in portfolio, program, and system development management practices:
- Provides opportunity for enterprise system traceability,
- Facilitates the prevention of duplicate and unnecessary projects, and
- Equates technical, business, and architectural interdependencies to the portfolio in alignment with the enterprise directives.
The challenge for any IT organization undertaking adoption of a new methodology is to make it pervasive and systematic; this is true for enterprise architecture as well.
Early Adopters
Early adopters realized it was necessary to plan for and achieve organization-wide learning of enterprise architecture, effective software development processes, and proper use of tools in a structured systems development lifecycle, plus take technologists through the maturity stages from awareness to mastery with each. Additionally, successful early adopters learned that complete technical and process architecture must be documented and easily accessible, enterprise architecture practices were truly process innovations and needed to be treated as such throughout the transition, and finally, that adoption of enterprise architecture is a multi-year exercise in process technology research and development.
