I would add a comment about the Change Architecture section regarding the heart transplant. There is a distinction between switching out the ESB at a project/department level vs the Enterprise. Decisions at the enterprise that happen at the CIO level are normally non-negotiable (due to vendor issues typically) and impacted teams need to make judgment calls. Best impacted teams can do is delay the up coming heart surgery and cannot opt to not do it.
Thank you. But I think you are too kind on one thing. I think it is not yet complete. For instance, managing architecture in Agile/DevOps settings is missing (but I've added something here: enterprisechess.com/2017/01/13/agile-architecture/) and the approach could use some sort of CMM (which I have ideas about but it is not yet fully done).
A lot of insights on the practice of EA. Useful for those that have already experience on EA initiatives providing a lot of ideas for discussion or reflection.
WARNING! This is what happens when a self-proclaimed expert spreads false dogma and tries to convince people this is a fact. This is a horrible explanation. Another waste of time. Volumes could be written on what’s wrong with what this narrator is saying. Move on!!!
You seem to be angry about the story. Angry enough to comment publicly, anyway. So, the subject is important to you. Being content-oriented, I'm curious what you think is wrong with the story. Mail me if you don't want to comment in public and we can have a fair discussion.
I agree with Gerben. I am an early career EA and this already (only 20 minutes in) hits the mark in what I read and practice thus far in the industry. There are way too many documents and "principals" that no one revisits or follows hence the "LEAN" movement and other such concepts. When you say things like "Volumes could be written" or "spreading false dogma" and want to be taken seriously, you should bring facts and not just random opinions. Being someone that thinks everyone should just take you at your word is why EA gets a bad rap in the first place. The my way or the highway mantra gets no one anywhere.

Perfect. Complete. From misconceptions to correct use of EA.

Very cool, must be more concentrated
