Indispensable technical, process, and business insight from leading enterprise architects
Many organizations today face the challenge of designing, building, and maintaining large-scale distributed enterprise systems that are able to adapt to changing business needs. Many repeat the mistakes of others, resulting in cost overruns, blown deadlines, and lost opportunity. Today's business climate places additional burden on IT to deliver. Ever-adapting business drivers can diverge from the capabilities of the enterprise IT systems today, especially if the systems are complex, fragile, and intolerant of change. Enterprise architecture can help future-proof IT investments made today.
A Practical Guide to Enterprise Architecture helps readers create adaptive architecture strategies for successfully implementing enterprise architectures. This classic handbook goes beyond theory and presents strategies that are based on experiences within organizations across multiple industry verticals. Behind each opinion, technique, and principle is a wealth of knowledge provided by some of the best-known industry thought leaders today.
This book's authors have architected industrial-strength software and infrastructure for many of the world's leading firms-in financial services, telecommunications, media, and e-business. They present practical guidance, candid assessments of existing practice, and detailed examples from their own experience. Coverage includes:
- Strategies for enterprise architecture-which ones work and why
- Proven "product line" practices for streamlining the design of enterprise software
- Understanding how to translate key business drivers into enterprise architecture output
- Agile architectural and modeling techniques-presented by their creator, Scott Ambler
- Architecting presentation tiers, user experience, and usability methods to create a reusable base of core assets
- Overcoming the challenges of transitioning to agile methods
- Identifying architecture enabling human resource practices
Whether you're a working architect or plan to become one, A Practical Guide to Enterprise Architecture will be your timely, trusted advisor-today and for years to come.
