Developing Organization-Specific Enterprise Architecture Management Functions Using a Method Base

Abstract

This thesis presents a development method that supports enterprise architects in systematically designing an organization-specific enterprise architecture (EA) management function. The development method builds on a method base, consisting of interrelated method building blocks (MBB) extracted from practice-proven approaches. The development method guides an organization in incrementally designing an EA management function by completing the activities with algorithmically identified MBBs suitable for the given organizational context and the specific problem. The development method employs a catalog of organizational context descriptions relevant for the design of the EA management function, supplies techniques to ensure operational implementability, and provides guidelines for adapting existing EA management functions in response to changing organizational contexts and problems.
