As Business Architects or Enterprise Architects, or their Stakeholders, we often speak about Capabilities. Words have meaning, of course. Are we actually representing Capabilities or Abilities to our Stakeholders? They are different and would lead to different actions based on these terms. What are you actually developing and asking?

An extensive article on "The Value of Enterprise Architecture" by Tony Brown. Read the full article: architecturescoe.org/resourc… In this article, Tony Brown uses case studies to review six commonly reported EA benefits, namely: 1.Readily available documentation of the enterprise; 2.Ability to unify and integrate business processes across the enterprise; 3.Ability to unify and integrate data across the enterprise and to link with external partners; 4.Increased agility by lowering the "complexity barrier"; 5.Reduced solution delivery time and development costs by maximizing reuse of enterprise models; 6.Ability to create and maintain a common vision of the future shared by both the business and IT communities, driving continuous business/IT alignment. "Without doubt, the Volkswagen of America example is a model EA success story, reflecting the full, top-down value of EA to the enterprise. The specific points cited in the case study could perhaps serve as a benchmark for a fully mature EA program." - Tony Brown Read the full article: architecturescoe.org/resourc… #RealTalkWithSamHolcman #TipsFromSam #EACOE #BACOE #EnterpriseArchitecture #BusinessArchitecture

Enterprise Architecture and Business Architecture – Comparing and Contrasting. Enterprise Architecture and Business Architecture. What are they? What are the similarities? What are the differences? In this broadcast, we will begin with a consistent definition of the word Architecture. From that common definition, we will then add the adjective Enterprise or Business to fully define an Enterprise Architecture or Business Architecture.

Significant confusion remains as to what Enterprise Architecture is and what it produces. We suggest one reason for this confusion, is the Certification and Training Organizations that are providing an Enterprise Architecture definition that parallels what they teach. Let us look at the different foci.

Driving Efficiency and Innovation by Consistently Managing Complexity and Change: the Four Pillars of Holistic Enterprise Architecture (Architecture Models, Framework, Methodology, and Solution Models) Read the full article: architecturescoe.org/resourc… Everything that exists has architecture, whether it has been written down or not. That is the fundamental problem – each person in an Enterprise has an implicit representation of what they think the Enterprise is all about. Architecture is an attribute and cannot exist by itself. A blueprint of a house isn’t its architecture; rather, it is one description of its architecture. People built things for thousands of years without needing to be concerned about describing the architecture of the things they were building. As civilization evolved, however, large, complex construction projects, e.g., temples, palaces, aqueducts, coliseums, fortresses, etc., involving tradespeople of many skills, huge quantities of building materials of different kinds, and taking many years to complete, required a much more disciplined approach to building things. Consequently, “building things” evolved into the art and science that we call architecture. As things get more complex, architecture becomes an imperative. When things are simple, you generally do not need architecture. Our complex Enterprises of today need architecture.
