Abstract – Agile EA Operational Roles

The subject of People’s jobs, Positions and Roles always tend to get somewhat confusing as there are such subtle differernces between them. However roles are useful in defining activities and responsibilities for those activities, so they need to be defined.

This paper explores each type and offers suggestions for how to organise an Agile Enterprise Architecture team based along the lines of Roles, but keeps the concept of positions and jobs.

The Enterprise Architecture Vacuum

Abstract

There is an Enterprise Architecture Vacuum. Architecture in computing and business is an often misunderstood concept. Many of those who work in Information Systems and Technology Departments do not necessarily come from a software or systems architecting and engineering (specifically coding) background. They find it difficult to fully appreciate many of the subtleties of Architecture because they do not have a Modelling or Systems thinking background.

This paper shows how due to misunderstanding the breadth and depth of the various architectural concepts it is easy to overlook a fundamentally important and strategic part of the Enterprise as a whole; in particular Enterprise Architecture.

Abstract

Using the concept of SCRUM from the software development world, we modified it to suit the daily life of the Enterpise Architect in an Enterprise Architecture practice. This paper describes the concepts around the idea.

This paper was done in a rush and needs refinement, so please excuse it in some areas, but the point was to get the concept across quickly.
