multiple process frameworks.

community of executives, managers, and individual
contributors.
Driven by the specific needs of Enterprise Architects and IT managers.
Form Primarily narrative. Primarily architectural, framed using TOGAF® and presented using
ArchiMate®.
Utility Oriented to education. Solution-orientation: useable ‘off the shelf’.
Value

Portfolio, Requirement to Deploy, Request to Fulfill, Detect to Correct) and
offers prescriptive guidance for the design of products and services that
deliver them.
Structure Mutually-exclusive and comprehensive architectural catalogs.
Granularity Precise and prescriptive representation of data and integration patterns for
the whole IT management domain.
Agility Implicit waterfall, top-down planning orientation. Explicit accommodation of Agile and DevOps trends and lean Kanban
process approaches.
