Part one outlines the basics of enterprise architecture ● Enterprises' maps (or blueprints) and territories (environments, systems, processes) ● Modeling objects and surrogates ● Modeling environments and systems
Part two explains the core ideas of EA as a ● Distinction between business and systems perspectives ● Benefits of frameworks to map architectures and the management of changes ● The Pagoda blueprint as a revised understanding of the Zachman framework
