World-Class EA: A Leaders Approach to Establishing and Evolving an EA Capability

This White Paper puts forward current thinking on establishing an Enterprise Architecture (EA) Capability that aligns to a set of requirements and expectations specific to each Enterprise. It proposes an approach for the standing-up and enhancing of an Enterprise’s EA Capability based upon the established best practice contained within TOGAF®, an Open Group standard. This White Paper is structured to provide the context, content, and rationale behind choices and steps that an EA Leader can consult at any point in time to set up, operate, or improve the value extracted from the practice of EA in their organization.
