Any thoughts anyone?]]> Mon, 21 Apr 2014 06:52:52 GMT Alive and kicking? https://www.globalaea.org/forums/posts.aspx?topic=1092607 https://www.globalaea.org/forums/posts.aspx?topic=1092607 Hello,

 

was just wondering if the JoEA is still alive and kicking since it has been a while since there was a release, almost a year I think.

As I see the number of webcasts increase, is there no more interest in having a journal dedicated to EA?

 

tnx for the feedback.

The article "The PRISM Architecture Framework - Was it the Very First Enterprise Architecture Framework?" by Roberto Rivera allowed me to reflect on the brief history of Enterprise Architecture and its utilities.  Basically we haven't come very far, but still have along way to go, but reflecting on this history is important since EA stems from PRISM's past achievements and understanding those are insightful.

I referenced the article "The Dutch State of the Practice of Architecture Principles" by Danny Greefhorst, Henderik Proper, Georgios Plataniotis and used the data and quoted statements about principles in the creation of our organization's Enterprise Architecture Portfolio Plan to emphasize the need for formality.  I am planning to purchase the book they authored and incorporate its finding in my continuing efforts.

The article "Beyond Alignment: Applying Systems Thinking in Architecting Enterprise" by Richard Veryard was very helpful since I am not required to read a large book, when I have limited time, but I caught the gist and overall intent of this periodical.

Thank you for your efforts and information,

Scott J. Steffan, Enterprise Architect/TOGAF, EACOE

This is a huge stumbling block when we are unable to justify to a CFO or VP Finance on the merits of implementing EA within an organization and all of the quantifiable benefits that make it a worthwhile investment.
