2020-05-05 Tuesday - Simple Key Test of EA Value

A simple key test to determine whether your Enterprise Architecture (EA) practice is valued, engaged, and thriving: Count the number of times [n] in a year that the CIO has met with the EA team (to communicate their vision, share their priorities, asked for input, listened with intent to understand where is "the pain", etc.).

If [n] < 1 - your EA practice is dead (like a parrot).

If [n] < 2 - your EA practice is probably just on life support, and is likely comatose - and it likely exists only as a simulation (in your CIO's mind) - and is likely not actually producing any recognizable real value/contribution.


Note:
I wrote this posting today - as a comment in reply to Wolfgang Goebl's posting on LinkedIn of a link to an article he recently wrote: Is Enterprise Architecture Dead?
