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.

Section 2: Building the Enterprise Architecture Repository

This section provides practical examples of the different types of artifacts that an enterprise architect can develop to build an architecture repository while being involved in different types of activities with different business units.

Building an enterprise architecture repository involves building a library of reference models that architects can use to build a library of artifacts (mainly diagrams). Each artifact can tell a piece of information about your enterprise, and by combining multiple interconnected artifacts, you are able to see the bigger picture. Being able to easily navigate between artifacts in different architecture layers will help you understand and trace how each element is connected and to what. Additionally, having a library of nested artifacts can show or hide information as needed at different levels of detail, by drilling up or down between diagrams.
