Enterprise Architecture
Enterprise Architecture (What is Enterprise Architecture - Definition)
Enterprise architecture (EA) is "a well-defined practice for conducting enterprise analysis, design, planning, and implementation, using a holistic approach at all times, for the successful development and execution of strategy.
Enterprise architecture (EA) is a discipline for proactively and holistically leading enterprise responses to disruptive forces by identifying and analyzing the execution of change toward desired business vision and outcomes.
Enterprise architecture (EA) is the organizing logic for business process and IT capabilities reflecting the integration and standardization requirements of the firm’s operating model.”

Difference Between SA and EA
An EA takes a strategic, inclusive and long term view at goals, opportunities and challenges facing the company
A SA is focused on specific solution and addresses technological details complied to standards, roadmaps and strategic objectives
Let’s Look at MIT CISR approach to Enterprise Architecture
Enterprise Architecture (Business driving EA)
3 Key Concepts to EA Operating Model
EA : Core Diagram
Architecture Maturity
Enterprise Architecture - A Business as well as IT Concept that is important for digital success.
Operating Model Influences Governance and Enterprise Architecture Decisions
Enterprise Architecture (Operating Model)
Define an operating model to best support a company’s strategy. An operating model is the necessary level of business process integration and standardization for delivering goods and services to customers.

Four Common Elements in Enterprise Architecture Core Diagrams: Core Business Processes Shared Data Driving Core Processes Key Linking and Automation Technologies Key Customers
Develop Enterprise Architecture by Identifying Process, Data, Technology, Customer Interface that take Operating Model from Vision to Reality

Enterprise Architecture Maturity (Architecture Maturity Stages)
Which EA strategy to be executed first, can be decided on basis of EA Maturity
Architecture Frameworks
Framework– A conceptual structure used to develop, implement and sustain an enterprise architecture. A number of frameworks exist in the industry. Examples includes: Zachman Framework
The Open Group Architecture Framework (TOGAF) OMB Federal Enterprise Architecture (FEA) and The Gartner Methodology (formerly the Meta Framework).
Provides tested and repeatable process for developing architectures

Architecture Development Frameworks (Top 4 Frameworks- Comparison)
Source: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb466232.aspx
Each framework possesses different strengths and weaknesses, which makes it difficult to find any one existing framework that is ideal for all situations.
Rating Scale: 1. Poor 2. Inadequate 3. Acceptable 4. Very Good
Conclusion - Architecture Frameworks
Most Frameworks have different evolutions Most Frameworks serve different Purposes
Most Frameworks are different in Scope
Most Frameworks are based on different Principles Most Frameworks have different Structures
Most Frameworks are supported by different approaches
Most Frameworks are different in compliancy with the Clinger Cohen Act
Framework for Your Organization (Create or Choose?)
Create your own, for eg: tailor TOGAF, or Choose Existing Architecture Development Framework
