Disadvantages of EA framework:

The Zachman Framework is a widely used model in Enterprise Architecture (EA) that provides a structured way to classify and organize an organization's information infrastructure by defining different perspectives from various stakeholders, allowing for a holistic view of the enterprise and facilitating alignment between business needs and technology solutions; essentially acting as a template to organize architectural artifacts like design documents and models based on different viewpoints and project aspects.
The framework is represented as a matrix with rows representing different perspectives (e.g., "What", "Where", "Who") based on the "W5H" questions (What, Where, When, Why, Who, How) and columns representing different stakeholder groups (e.g., Visionary, Owner, Designer, Builder, Implementer, Worker).
