Enterprise Architecture Practice

Enterprise architecture earns its reputation for producing diagrams nobody uses when it is practised as documentation rather than as a way of making better investment decisions. This course keeps it useful. Delegates work through the architecture domains covering business, data, application and technology, and the current and target state descriptions that make a gap visible. Roadmapping and the sequencing of change follow. Architecture principles and standards are covered, along with the governance that gives them effect without becoming an obstacle. Working with projects rather than against them is addressed directly. The course closes on managing technical debt, on retiring systems and on demonstrating that the practice changed a decision.
