Standing up Enterprise Architecture
Wednesday, 1:30 PM EST - SAND SALON
The organization has grown and one line of business has become 2 and then 10. Each line of business is driving technology choices based on their own needs. Who and how do you manage alignment of technology across the entire Enterprise… Enter Enterprise Architecture! We need to stand up a new part of the organization.
This session will define the role of architects and architectures. We will walk through a framework of starting an Enterprise Architecture practice. Discussions will include:
- Differences of EA teams from one organization to another
- Different architectural roles
