Description:
If ever this title cliché proved true, it would apply for Enterprise Architecture teams. More than most other groups in the enterprise, the EA team is genuinely a virtual function. It requires a collaborative community across the enterprise. Making it work is no small feat, prompting the commonly asked question “What is the ideal EA team?” The answer differs widely, depending on a combination of organizational size, corporate culture, available skills, executive support, EA maturity and many other factors. While it is impossible to produce a single configuration suitable for everyone, there are specific characteristics that every EA team must possess. Not the least of these is “leadership.” Even though there is no “I” in EA Team, leadership is a defining characteristic across the team, driving the vision and steering a diverse community to a common end.
