Architecture Planning (PDF, 324KB) NEW

Adding value to projects with Enterprise Architecture
We are often asked what an architecture plan is and why it is important. As with most things
there isn’t a simple answer to what an architecture plan is.  There is no standard template for
an architecture plan as every organisation is different and the nature of the plans change
depending on an organisation’s specific needs. As to why it is important, the success of any
architecture is dependent on delivering value and the plan is the means by which the delivery
of this value can be managed and measured. Getting the plan right is often the starting point to success. This white paper focuses on the nature of architecture plans and how to create them.
