Forbes Contributor Jason Bloomberg recently wrote a few articles addressing the current state of Enterprise Architecture. In his first post, he explored whether enterprise architecture is completely broken, a question not uncommonly heard in our industry.
We often discuss the changing world of Enterprise Architecture on the Troux blog, and it has been an ongoing debate inside Troux as to whether we should even use the term EA when defining our market. I have to admit, when I first arrived at Troux, I didn’t even know what Enterprise Architecture was. I have always viewed what we do as being about delivering business value. I think the original EA practitioners had that in mind too, but maybe they were a decade too early or just couldn’t land at the right process and tools to deliver on the vision.
In Bloomberg’s article he compares EA practitioners to Milton, the Innotech employee from the 90’s move classic, Office Space, who continued to get paid while not actually having a role in the organization.
