Planets Principles of Enterprise Architecture:
- Enterprise Architecture is about managing the transformation of an Organization in a structured and informed manner
- Enterprise Architecture should start with the “why?” – and then derive the “how?”
- Enterprise Architecture should only collect the data, and produce the models necessary to facilitate specific analysis and answer targeted questions, nothing more
- Enterprise Architecture, when mature, drives technology from business need, BUT some of the fastest results and ‘quick wins’ during the immature stages of an EA are derived from analysis performed on the Technology layer.
- Be honest unto thyself….if EA is a compliance activity, treat it as such, the same is true if it is genuinely about improving how your organization performs. In all cases be clear about what you are aiming to achieve as this will greatly affect the direction and tasks necessary to support your EA Program.
