Enterprise architecture is a discipline for proactively managing organizational change and complexity by aligning business strategy, goals, and processes with information technology solutions. It provides a framework for governing technology decisions and guiding the organization from its current to future state. Benefits include improved business-IT alignment, increased agility, standardization, and cost savings. Enterprise architecture frameworks like TOGAF provide common vocabulary, models, and processes to develop the current and target architecture states and transition plans.

It is well known that an effective PMO is key to successful and efficient program and project execution. In other words, doing things “right”. Enterprise Architecture is the discipline that plans and monitors enterprise transformation and aligns the business strategy with information technology capabilities. In other words, doing the “right things” to support the business.
Why is it organizations despite having both of these disciplines still struggle with effective enterprise transformation? What can we done to use these disciplines more effectively to effect better business outcomes? What are the roles of each discipline and how do they work together to create business value?
In this presentation, Riaz will address these questions and will provide real life examples that can help build a strong relationship between the PMO and Enterprise Architecture.

Place in Space (AKA "How to Design A Concept Model")Stephen Anderson
“How do you create a concept model?”
It's a simple question without a simple answer. As wranglers of information, we routinely create visual artifacts to make sense of difficult subjects. Think service blueprints. Site maps. Clusters of sticky notes on walls. Venn diagrams. These are all external representations created to organize our understanding—concept models. And in team settings, these models allow us to communicate and collaborate; master these visual thinking skills and you can effectively frame the conversation. For as long as we’ve organized things into stacks (“my pile, your pile”) or into some continuum (letterforms carved into a clay tablet, sorting kids by height), we’ve used the *spatial* arrangement of things to assign meaning. Consciously or not, we're tapping into a powerful visual language to help us and others understand difficult concepts. But, what is this language we're using? And can it be taught?
In this session, speaker and author Stephen P. Anderson will share the fundamental elements behind every visual representation. Much like there’s a grammar behind the written word, there’s a grammar behind the visual display of information; once understood, you can easily create clear and concise visual representations of thought.
Best of all, this same approach extends into other kinds of external representations, such as custom data visualizations or novel interfaces. And, as we move into a connected world, where information is distributed into the physical environments around us, we can prepare now by having a fundamental vocabulary to describe this arrangement of information.
Whether on the page or screen, or in the physical space around us, understanding how to derive (and convey) meaning through the arrangement of information is and will become an essential skill for anyone designing information.

Data Stream Processing - Concepts and FrameworksMatthias Niehoff
An overview on various concepts used in data stream processing. Most of them are used for solving problems in the field of time, focussing on processing time compared to event time. The techniques shown include the Dataflow API as it was introduced by Google and the concepts of stream and table duality. But I will also come up with other problems like data lookup and deployment of streaming applications and various strategies on solving these problems.
In the end I will give a brief outline on the implementation status of those strategies in the popular streaming frameworks Apache Spark Streaming, Apache Flink and Kafka Streams.
Bridging business analysis and business architecture - The Open Group webinarCraig Martin
To design business models of the future requires a comprehensive set of skills. The skills are diverse in nature and range from the typical business analysis delivery focused requirements management tools and techniques to the more business architect MBA style and business model innovation techniques.
But how can we leverage the two skillsets to create more cohesion in the industry?
Where is the overlap and is there a career path between the two?
What about the frameworks that support these two disciplines?
This presentation will deal with:
Shifts occurring in the market;
Where the business architect and the business analyst provide value individually;
Where the business architecture and the business analyst provide value together;
How are the disciplines merging; and what the future could look like.

Visual Data Representation Techniques Combining Art and DesignLogo Design Guru
Visually representing data is becoming increasingly popular. Companies are investing thousands of dollars in getting their data created using design elements. From large enterprises to small businesses, everyone is hunting for techniques to help them make dull and monotonous data into something attractive.
Designers thoroughly study data and then invest all these imagination into making it simpler for everyone to understand it. Minimizing information and making it universal is the key to data visualization.
From infographics to presentations and software to tools, there are many techniques one can use to enhance the look of spreadsheets, Big Data and analytics.
Here are visual techniques to help you display your data in an aesthetically pleasing way. You can use some of these or all of them. These tips are not limited to the web or print, but can also be used for television. In fact, weather forecasting channels use visuals like maps, icons and GIFs to represent information.
Want your data to stand out? Use these techniques to uplift your data.

Site analytics. The quantified self. Big data. Human activity is creating more and more measurable data. But is more data really helping designers make better decisions? Human problems often require illogical approaches. In order to meet real human needs, we need to approach the data we collect with empathy and find the story in the facts.

Suggest to practice EA in a three tier approach rather than a big bang. Point out EA is a planning effort rather than an engineering effort. EA is not the enterprise wide solution architecture. Clarify the confusion of business capability and business process. EA is not business process centric it is the mean to support the end of business capability. Introduce the concept of business floor plan and EA landscape. The business floor plan is similar to the floor plan of a house. EA landscape to present the situation of usage such as the landscape of application, data and technology. Practical EA use the popular EA method such as FEAF, TOGAF, DODAF to design the segment architecture .

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

Disclaimers
Many competing perspectives on Enterprise
Architecture exist – this just one of them
There is no single, agreed upon Enterprise
Architecture standard

Enterprise Architecture
What is Enterprise Architecture?
MIT Center for Information Systems Research (2007)
• Enterprise architecture is the organizing logic for business processes and IT infrastructure reflecting the integration and
standardization requirements of the company's operating model
Enterprise Architecture Research Forum
• Continuous practice of describing the essential elements of a socio-technical organization, their relationships to each other
and to the environment, in order to understand complexity and manage change
Gartner (2013)
• Discipline for proactively and holistically leading enterprise responses to disruptive forces by identifying and analyzing the
execution of change toward desired business vision and outcomes. EA delivers value by presenting business and IT leaders
with signature-ready recommendations for adjusting policies and projects to achieve target business outcomes that
capitalize on relevant business disruptions.
• EA is used to steer decision making toward the evolution of the future state architecture.
The Open Group
• Enterprise architecture (EA) is the definition and representation of a high-level view of an enterprise‘s business processes
and IT systems, their interrelationships, and the extent to which these processes and systems are shared by different parts
of the enterprise
US Federal Enterprise Architecture Framework (FEAF)
• Enterprise architecture is a management practice to maximize the contribution of an agency’s resources, IT investments,
and system development activities to achieve its performance goals.
• Architecture describes clear relationships from strategic goals and objectives through investments to measurable
performance improvements for the entire enterprise or a portion (or segment) of the enterprise.

Enterprise
Architecture is a
discipline that
spans the entire
enterprise but
does not dive
into the minutia
of project
delivery

Enterprise Architecture Objectives
Align business and IT strategies
Increase business and IT agility
Establish and refine future
architecture vision
Govern technology decisions and
direction
The primary goal of EA is to make the organization as efficient and
effective as possible!

Enterprise Architecture Frameworks
• Many Enterprise Architecture
frameworks have been created
– Zachman Enterprise Framework
– The Open Group Architecture
Framework (TOGAF)
– OMB Federal Enterprise Architecture
(FEA)
– The Gartner Methodology (formerly the
Meta Framework)
– Many others
• Each framework possesses different
strengths and weaknesses
– No ideal framework for all situations
– Each framework has to be customized
to fit the organization
EA Frameworks typically
include:
•Common
vocabulary, models, and
taxonomy
•Processes, principles, strate
gies and tools
•Reference architectures
and models
•Prescriptive guidance (EA
processes, architecture
content, implementation
roadmap, governance)
•Catalog of architecture
deliverables and artifacts
•Enterprise Architecture

Enterprise Architecture Components
• Enterprise
Architecture consists
of several logical
components
– Each component
must identify its own
strategies, reference
models, and
directions
• EA serves as a
governance function
– Architecture Review
Board
– Processes and
policies
– Technology
– Funding
• EA Repository
– Central repository
for all EA artifacts * Based on Oracle Enterprise Architecture Framework

Enterprise Architecture Lifecycle
Create the Enterprise
Architecture vision
and program
structure
Document current
state architecture
Develop future state
architecture
Create a roadmap of
transitioning from
current state to
future state
Establish and execute
governance processes
Develop business
case(s) for the
initiative(s) identified
on the roadmap
EA lifecycle is a series
of continuous iterations
over these phases
* Based on Oracle Enterprise Architecture Framework

Enterprise Architecture
EA and IT Governance
• IT governance is a set
of processes and
policies that dictate
how IT work should
be performed
• EA governance is a
set of processes and
policies that dictate
how technology
decisions are made
• IT and EA governance
domains intersect in
the project delivery
space

Enterprise Architecture
EA Governance
* Based on TOGAF
Alignment
• Enterprise Architecture
establishes a number of
governance mechanisms
– Architecture Board
serves as a governance
body ensuring IT
initiatives align with EA
– CTO and/or Chief
Architect provide
stewardship and
guidance
– Enterprise Architects
develop policies,
practices, and
processes that the
Architecture Board
supports
• Enterprise Architecture
and IT leadership ensures
alignment with business
goals, strategies, and
objectives

Measuring Enterprise Architecture Value
No single, comprehensive set of Enterprise Architecture metrics exist. Each
organization has to develop metrics most relevant to its EA objectives.
