Lisa seeks Toms advice on
establishing the Enterprise
Architecture capability
Tom promises to come up with
an initial approach shortly
Capability Iteration
Overall objective of Capability
Iteration of ADM is to kick-start
architecture development process
Architecture capabilities include:
Teams
Stakeholders
Roles
Responsibilities
Processes
Principles
Tools etc.

Overall Approach
WHAT
HOW
Enterprise Architecture
Architecture is the structure of components, their
inter-relationships, and the principles and guidelines
governing their design and evolution over time.
Architecture Principles
Principles govern how the
components of the architecture is put
together and how this design is
allowed to evolve over time
Principles constrains architectural
choices
They have the net effect of increased
order and consistency while
simultaneously reducing complexity
and cost
An Example
Principle Name
Description
Enterprise systems (both IT and non-IT systems) and their components are designed for
adapting to change. Where the change could be an alteration in the enterprises
context as a result of a mix of one or more factors
Rationale
Adaptability and flexibility leads to greater responsiveness and enables the business to
respond quickly to threats in its environment as well as leverage opportunities
Implications
Nothing
Is Set in Stone
Principles evolve over time
Architects should determine the applicable principles for each initiative and
offer their right interpretation in a given context
Principles may at times seem contradictory, and architects need to resolve and
offer guidance towards making the right trade-off
Inputs

Crystalizing on architecture vision
Obtain organizational buy-in to proceed
with architecture effort
Overall Approach
Validate business context and drivers for change
Scenario Planning
Introduced by Herman Khan in US and Gaston
Berger et al. in France
It was first adopted for business scenarios by
Royal Dutch Shell in 1965
According to a HBR article titled Living in
Futures about 65 to 70% of large organizations
use scenario planning
Applied to strategy formulation
Also applied to innovation, risk management,
and leadership development
Timebound
Measurable
SMART
Objectives
Realistic
Actionable
Perceive change
Respond to change
Exercise early influence
Start early on new opportunities
Enable holistic learning
Inputs
The outputs from the Preliminary phase form key inputs for the
Architecture Vision phase
Outputs
Architecture Vision and Statement of Architecture Work are
the key deliverables
