Adapting Enterprise Architecture at a Software Development Company and the Resultant Benefits

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNPSE,volume 8627))

Abstract

This publication presents an approach to developing an enterprise architecture at a software development company. That type of company differs from other companies in relation to software usage and development, hence a corresponding approach should be used. An efficient solution based on own experience is proposed in this paper. The solution includes the following main set of activities: defining a motivation model, adapting architecture modeling tools, IT landscape creation products, building architecture capabilities in the organization, implementing standards and guidelines, applying architecture governance, defining the architect’s roles, managing risks, using architecture governance. The proposed solution is introduced in an iterative way in the software development company.
