Overview of this book

Most organizations face challenges in defining and achieving evolved enterprise architecture practices, which can be a very lengthy process even if implemented correctly. Developers, for example, can build better solutions only if they receive the necessary design information from architects, and decision-makers can make appropriate changes within the organization only if they know the implications of doing so. The book starts by addressing the problems faced by enterprise architecture practitioners and provides solutions based on an agile approach to enterprise architecture, using ArchiMate® 3.1 as an industry standard and Sparx EA as the modeling tool. You'll learn with the help of a fictional organization that has three business units, each expecting something different from you as the enterprise architect. You'll build the practice, satisfy the different requirements of each business unit, and share the knowledge with others so they can follow your steps. Toward the end, you'll learn how to put the diagrams and the content that you have developed into documents, presentations, and web pages that can be published and shared with any stakeholder. By the end of this book, you'll be able to build a functional enterprise architecture practice that supports every part of your organization. You'll also have developed the necessary skills to populate your enterprise architecture repository with references and artifacts.

Summary

Strategic decisions are usually made at the highest level of an organization. Enterprise architects can support decision makers best by helping them to visualize their thoughts and ideas by turning them into diagrams. It can take you multiple rounds to put what's in their heads on paper, but this effort will be appreciated if done right.

Implementation plans including phases and deliverables can also be modeled. Models should not include all the details that project management software provides, but they need to remain at the enterprise architecture level. The implementation architecture artifacts should align with other enterprise elements, while project management software will help in daily project management activities. These are two different worlds that need only to keep the traceability between them.

By reaching the end of this chapter, you are capable of building an EA repository using Sparx, or maybe you have already done that while practicing with the provided...
