Certified Enterprise Architect Professional (CEAP) - Module 5 - Architecture Frameworks

Architecture Frameworks:

An Architecture Framework is a theoretical structure that has the purpose of developing, executing, and maintaining an Enterprise Architecture.

Advantages of EA framework:

  • Simplify
  • Breaks down areas of the business process
  • Organise business components and create and identify relationships between business
  • Determine the scope
  • Customization in the existing framework

Disadvantages of EA framework:

    • Need to follow process
    • Provides only direction and not information
    • It's based on goal and objective
    • Need creativity and proactive thinking



    Zachman 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).
