This document defines roles and responsibilities for enterprise architecture delivery. It provides a responsibility matrix that outlines which roles are responsible for approving, performing, or supporting various architecture artifacts during the requirements analysis, design, and construction phases. Key roles include business sponsor, business SME, business analyst, enterprise architect, lead architect, application architect, and more.
