Aggregated enterprise architecture wisdom
“Form follows function” – that’s what we were always taught at design-school. Yet is that actually true? I wonder… There was nothing in particular that triggered this one off: it was just one of those ‘first thing in the morning’…
How should we respond to inherent-uncertainty in qualitative-requirements, for enterprise-architecture and the like? Yes, we can reduce every qualitative-requirement to some sort of metric, but is that always a wise thing to do? And if not, how can we tell whether…
Just how should we handle qualitative requirements in system-design and enterprise-architecture? Should we, for example, reframe them into quantitative terms, as metrics – because it’s a lot easier to keep track of ‘measurable things’? Over the past couple of days…
#entarch #orgintelligence In an earlier post, I pointed out the architectural trade-off between Complexity and Power. There may be a choice between a simple-but-inefficient solution and a more sophisticated solution, and this choice has important struc…
