Architecture Beyond Domains

by

Enterprise Architecture has been around for decades. The discipline has profoundly shaped how organizations plan, align, and structure their strategies, systems, and operations.
Frameworks such as the TOGAF Standard define four architecture domains and link them to specific architectural roles. While this approach has helped organizations organize work, it has also unintentionally reinforced rigid silos and limited the true potential of architecture as a holistic organizational capability.

Risk Management (2/2)

by

The Architecture Development Method (ADM) of the TOGAF Standard describes a number of techniques a practitioner has at his disposal. Risk Management is the second-to-last technique that is described. Since it is addressed in several phases (Phase A and Phases E through H), it can be seen as an integral part of architecture development. Applying Risk Management techniques ensures that risks are identified, assessed, and mitigated as part of the architecture development process.

Architecting with AI

by

Artificial Intelligence is often portrayed as a disruptive force — one that demands new methods, tools, and frameworks. But in practice, AI doesn’t replace traditional architecture frameworks. Instead, it enhances them. This is especially true when it comes to the TOGAF Standard’s Architecture Development Method (ADM). Rather than rewriting the playbook, AI can act as […]

Architecture Across Ages

by

We stand atop the shoulders of giants when we gaze at the majestic ruins of the Parthenon or wander through the crisp geometry of a Doric temple. It may not seem obvious at first, but the foundations of Enterprise Architecture are laid on the same principles that guided the stone masons of ancient Greece — balance, clarity, purpose, and adaptability. The discipline of designing the shapes of complex systems, whether in IT ecosystems or on the Athenian Acropolis, shares a lineage of thought that transcends time. Architecture across the ages.

Enterprise Architecture Rises In The East

by

Enterprise Architecture is more than just a methodology—it’s a strategic powerhouse driving alignment between business objectives and technology. In China, where rapid economic growth meets technological innovation, Enterprise Architecture has emerged as a critical enabler. The country’s enterprises, ranging from state-owned giants to tech startups, are leveraging Enterprise Architecture to address unique challenges: scalability, digital transformation, and regulatory compliance.

The TOGAF Standard is Awesome

by

We are probably all familiar with the TOGAF® Standard. Or just TOGAF, for friends and foes. An Enterprise Architecture framework pur sang and a very complete one if you ask me. The framework covers all aspects of Enterprise Architecture and allows for all kinds of tailoring. This makes it an excellent framework for any architecture implementation. In other words, the TOGAF Standard is awesome!
