 Enterprise Architecture (EA) is a key enabler of both strategic and tactical decision making in an enterprise.
  • How does EA enable consistent decisions throughout the enterprise in support of the business goals?
  • How does EA promote informed decisions at various levels of the organization and engage the attention of the business?
  • How does EA help rationalize the architecture decisions?
  • How can EA measure and improve the quality of decisions?

This presentation will discuss the various facets of IT decision making. It will then present a case study on the approach, the steps taken to improve IT decision making and how the deliverables in each step address the different aspects of IT decision making. The presentation will conclude with lessons learned in the case study.
