Bu09r - How to make your enterprise architecture management endeavor fail!
Abstract
EA management is one of the major challenges of modern enterprises. It aims at aligning business and IT in order to optimize their interaction. In contrast to other EAM patterns, which document proven-practices concerning methodologies (M-Pattern), viewpoints (V-Pattern), or information models (I-Pattern), this article includes two anti patterns for EA management. Anti-patterns detail on typical mistakes in EA management, and present revised solutions, which help pattern users to prevent these pitfalls. While the first anti pattern Oversized Information Model deals with problems arising from the usage of a giant information model, the second anti pattern Missing Legend shows why every visualization should provide a legend.
