"So, what is it you say you do here?"
How architectures fail, and what to do about it
"So you work in architectures, huh? So why aren't things getting any better around here?"
How do you answer that? - especially when you know they're right... Don't worry. It's not your fault! - but you can help us all to make our architectures improve their outcomes.
The core problem is that architectures fragment when we fail to apply architecture to itself, to connect everything across the enterprise as a whole.
In this session, we'll explore three common scope errors that cause fragmentation - blurring architecture and design, starting architecture too late and/or finishing too early, and arbitrary boundaries on content, scope, scale or timescale ail by fragmentation - and the simple tactics we can use to avoid those traps.
Bio: Tom Graves is a well-known writer, blogger and practitioner on enterprise architecture and related themes. These days he describes himself more as a confusionist, a business-anarchist, and maker of tools for change. He's, uh, been around for a while now, working across dozens of industries in at least a dozen countries.
Tom presented our first-ever session for Architecting for Innovation in back 2014. This will be his last public webinar before he retires from enterprise architecture.
Don't miss it and the last chance to quiz one of the preeminent EA thought leaders.
