Aggregated enterprise architecture wisdom
How is it that what we actually do in the heat of the action can differ so much from the intentions and decisions we set beforehand? How can we bring them into better alignment, to ’keep to the plan’? And how does this affect our enterprise-architectures? This is Part 2 of this exploration: the first part is […]
