Everyday Enterprise Architecture: Sense-Making, Strategy, Structures, and Solutions

Discover what needs to happen in enterprise-architecture practice--and not just its outcomes, but also the activities from which those outcomes would arise. This book reveals how business and enterprise architects can deliver fast solutions to an always-on-the-go business world.

To begin, you'll review a new technique called "context-space mapping," which provides a structured method for sense-making across the entire context of an enterprise. Throughout the book, you'll concentrate on the routine practices that underpin each of the architecture disciplines.

Working step-by-step through a real 10-day architecture project, this book explores the activities that underpin the strategy, structures and solutions in the real-time turmoil of an enterprise architect's everyday work. You'll explore how and why and when the various documents, artefacts and items of 'theory-stuff' come into the practice - all those mainstream methods, frameworks, models, metamodels and other information sources.

In the end, Everyday Enterprise Architecture will help you develop the skills, judgment, and awareness to keep enhancing the value of your architectural projects.

  Enterprise and business architects.

這本書揭示了企業架構實踐中需要發生的事情，不僅僅是其結果，還包括產生這些結果的活動。本書揭示了企業和業務架構師如何在一個總是忙碌的商業世界中提供快速解決方案。

首先，您將回顧一種名為「上下文空間映射」的新技術，該技術提供了一種結構化的方法，用於在企業的整個上下文中進行意義創造。在整本書中，您將專注於支撐每個架構學科的常規實踐。

通過一個真實的10天架構項目逐步進行工作，本書探討了在企業架構師日常工作的實時混亂中支撐戰略、結構和解決方案的活動。您將探索各種文件、工件和「理論材料」何時以及為什麼進入實踐 - 所有那些主流方法、框架、模型、元模型和其他信息來源。

最終，《Everyday Enterprise Architecture》將幫助您發展技能、判斷力和意識，以不斷提升您的架構項目的價值。

您將學到什麼：

- 在「商業速度」上進行架構工作
- 為不同任務適應架構
- 收集、使用和管理架構信息
