In other words, 'how can one attain Nirvana without understanding the path? It is even more confounding than many other metaphors in that it can also be interpreted in a number of different and potentially contradictory ways. Understanding the Problem Space:. Where did this notion come from? Introducing a New Metaphor:.

Reinventing Enterprise Architecture ~ IT Architecture Journal

http://itarchitecturejournal.blogspot.com/2014/12/reinventing-enterprise-architecture.html

ALM (Application Lifecycle Management). Tuesday, December 2, 2014. Sadly, Mark Twain is really dead now, but EA isn't. EA, as it is currently defined…. A lack of understanding as to what value it provides. A too narrow focus on feeding (building out) an EA repository. Lack of connection to the actual IT solution architectures. So, how does one go about reinventing a major IT field of practice? It starts at the beginning - the expectations for that practice. These new expectations must take into accou...

Because Architects are tasked to manage the solution from a holistic perspective and thus must be involved to some extent in tempering the expectations of the organization in relation to what is or isn't technically feasible. It's generally customary to allow the person who must execute a plan to be involved in developing it. The abi...

ALM (Application Lifecycle Management). Thursday, September 4, 2014. Data Architecture, Defined. Data Architecture, Defined. Where does Architecture fit within this picture? But before we dive into the implications of the current revolution and its subsequent democratizing of data, we need to step back and look again the more traditional definitions as to what Data Architecture represents. I'll start with a high level summary view:. Data Architecture is the practice of managing both the design of data as...

August 2014 ~ IT Architecture Journal

http://itarchitecturejournal.blogspot.com/2014_08_01_archive.html

ALM (Application Lifecycle Management). Sunday, August 31, 2014. Before we begin defining EA Frameworks in greater depth, it is important to clarify what frameworks don't represent:. Frameworks are not design notation - so that's why we haven't included UML. Frameworks are not ready-made solutions for the enterprise. Frameworks are not design patterns. I will explain these clarifications as we proceed through the topic. This is an example from an EA project using both the DODAF and FEAF Frameworks. By ch...

ALM (Application Lifecycle Management). Thursday, September 18, 2014. The Top 10 Mistakes in Data Architecture - part 1. Architecture can help solve puzzles, but should never produce its own. Mistake 1 - Lack of Context. Far too many Data Architecture projects present the generic information without the follow-on "contextualization." This is a sure path to project failure. Mistake 2 - A Disconnected Approach. Where does Data Architecture start and where does it end? Portfolio Management or EA tools.
