DESCRIPTION
Building trust with your business stakeholders starts with providing them with accurate, up-to-date information. This book shows you how to create a unified enterprise architecture repository, a central database for all your diagrams, catalogs, and other artifacts. Information supporting stakeholders' decisions may be delivered through a single artifact or a combination of multiple artifacts.
This book systematically covers the entire process, starting with a crash course in Sparx EA and mastering the principles of Model Driven Generation (MDG) to build a custom metamodel. You will then learn how to structure your repository and model key architectural artifacts, including business capabilities, projects, applications, data integrations, and technology environments like the cloud. The book also provides detailed guidance on modeling business services, organizational structures, and strategies. Finally, you will discover crucial repository management processes and learn to publish your artifacts as professional documents or web content for wider consumption.
By the end of this book, you will be fully competent in using Sparx EA to build, manage, and publish a professional-grade EA repository. This expertise will enable you to effectively analyze, communicate, and drive strategic change within your organization, making you a vital asset in any enterprise architecture team.
