More Practicality, Less Theory
Post date:
Enterprise Architecture frameworks are rarely questioned at the conceptual level. Most architects accept their value. Many organizations reference them explicitly. Certifications remain popular, methods are well known, and the language of architecture has become increasingly standardized across the profession. Yet something interesting happens when these frameworks enter daily practice: the translation becomes challenging, resulting in…

A Scrapbook of Past Projects
Post date:
Enterprise Architecture has a reputation problem. Not because it lacks rigor or structure — quite the opposite. But because too often, architecture feels like something that exists next to the organization rather than within it.

Since it is addressed in several phases (Phase A and Phases E through H), it can be seen as an integral part of architecture development. Applying…

Architecting with AI
Post date:
Artificial Intelligence is often portrayed as a disruptive force — one that demands new methods, tools, and frameworks. But in practice, AI doesn’t replace traditional architecture frameworks. Instead, it enhances them. This is especially true when it comes to the TOGAF Standard’s Architecture Development Method (ADM). Rather than rewriting the playbook, AI can act as
