As I noted in my previous post, Enterprise Architecture is completely new to me. It makes sense, though as my brain is very logistical and sequential. I like everything to have it's place- with labels if possible! I'd like to know more about all of it! I'd love to know more about what happens when one comes into a situation with a less than ideal model. What are the steps taken to "fix" the architecture while still maintaining the functionality of the business (school) system.
I've been poking around for quick answers to this question and while the bulk of the information is beyond my present experience level I find it really interesting and I'm beginning to develop my understanding. I'm beginning to understand how this impacts large businesses and even large school districts. I'm curious how this impacts smaller school districts. I also found this interesting article from Forbes, called "Is Enterprise Architecture Completely Broken?". It seems to call for EA to become more dynamic as our needs change.The discussion/comments are also interesting to follow. I'm curious how EA has changed in the last 10 years and how our school districts have accounted for this- or not. The introduction video modeled a very puzzle piece-like model that was easily rearranged if needed. I wonder, remember I'm very new to this, is this model as dynamic as it needs to be?
