Let's face it, not all of us made it past first grade finger-painting when it comes to visually appealing architecture models. In practical terms, creating models that lend themselves to multiples audiences is challenge that sometimes requires more artistic flare than hard technology facts. It is not a one-size-fits-all proposition, and demonstrating architecture value to various customers, partners, executives and implementation teams is a critical skill. Unfortunately, architecture tools often compound the problem by generating artifacts that resemble a cross between ancient Greek and Egyptian hieroglyphics. The session will step through visually engaging architecture diagrams useful in linking and communicating business objectives to expected outcomes during the different TOGAF ADM phases.
