With the increasing complexity of modern cloud-based systems, an effective enterprise architecture program is more critical than ever. In this practical book, author Tanu McCabe from Capital One provides proven frameworks and practices to define an effective enterprise architecture strategy—one that will enable software and enterprise architects to create and implement great architecture strategies.

You'll learn how to create shared alignment across business and technology, embed architecture practices into processes and tooling, incorporate technology and business trends, and instill contextual understanding over siloed decision-making. Complete with examples of patterns and antipatterns, this book provides reusable templates, assessment tools, and practical advice.

Enterprise architecture is critical to an organization’s ability to operate effectively with a clear technology strategy that fulfills business objectives. Where architecture as a general function solves problems, enterprise architecture solves complex problems that impact the enterprise and changes the enterprise as a whole. Where architecture in general seeks to deliver well-designed software, enterprise architecture provides the principles, standards, and best practices that enable all software engineering teams to deliver reusable, cost-effective, secure, scalable software that meets business needs.

With this book, you will:

Understand exactly what enterprise architecture is, and why it's important to build an effective enterprise architecture practice
Learn who needs to be involved to define and implement architecture strategies
Examine common pitfalls that inhibit effective architecture strategies
Assess the current state of your organization's architecture practice to identify opportunities for improvement
Define your own architecture strategy at both an organizational and personal level by applying the book's frameworks
Enhance your ability to make great architecture decisions using the frameworks and lessons provided
