Session Overview

While the dimensions of defining an enterprise architecture model - business, information, application and technical - have been fairly well established over the last few years and appear in most enterprise architecture models, there is much less clarity about how to govern enterprise architecture.


Experience with many of our clients indicates that governance is not only the most difficult part to get right, but also determines the impact of the architecture team on the organization to a great degree. Complaints about ivory tower architecture and shelf-ware production from the IT community, as well as about a lack of influence from architects, indicate that the effective governance is of the utmost importance for success.


We propose to describe and manage this governance along six dimensions: Leadership, People, Processes, Policies, Metrics and Funding. This session explains the relevance of these dimensions for understanding and improving the impact of an architecture group. It also addresses some best practices for implementing good governance.
