contribute to the goals of your company? Are the architects your
best paid employees? If you are striving for a full-hearted yes to
these questions, this is the book for you.
Building an Enterprise Architecture Practice provides practical
advice on how to develop your enterprise architecture practice. The
authors developed different tools and models to support
organizations in implementing and professionalizing an enterprise
architecture function. The application of these tools and models in
many different organizations forms the basis for this book. The
result is a hands-on book that will help you to avoid certain
pitfalls and achieve success with enterprise architecture.
A lot of organizations nowadays have a team of enterprise
architects at work but struggle with questions like:

architecture?

for my organization?
a [ What steps do I need to take to improve my enterprise
architecture practice?
a [ How do I fulfill the role of enterprise architect?
These questions are answered in this book and illustrated with a
lot of best practices.
After reading the book the reader will have a better
understanding of what makes enterprise architecture successful and
will possess the tools to analyse his own situation and build an
enterprise architecture practice accordingly.

This book clearly describes how to establish an architecture
practice that delivers value for an organization. The
authorsdemonstrate a wealth of experience and a deep understanding
of the multifaceted nature of this challenging task and they
provide sound advice on how to avoid the many pitfalls that may be
encountered along the way.
Recognising that there is no 'one-size-fits-all' approach, they
show how to deploy a range of practical tools and approaches that
will enable each organization to create its own road map to
success. In particular, their Maturity Matrix is invaluable for
balancing architecture priorities and targeting improvements. The
book makes a significant contribution to the professionalization of
the architect role.

Too many books on enterprise architecture leave one in a state
of mental fuzziness: After reading them, the reader has learned a
lot of impressive words but still does not know how to design an
enterprise architecture. This step by step guide to DYA is
different.
It provides pragmatic guidelines for developing enterprise
architecture and presents a maturity model that helps the users of
DYA to state realistic goals and to outline feasible steps to
achieve these goals. Particularly useful is the emphasis on a
coherent enterprise architecture vision, including the value added
by the architecture. I warmly recommend this book to practicing
enterprise architects.
