Modern Enterprise Architecture: Architecting for Outcomes
summary
Modern enterprise architecture distills into five practices: A: align value, people and tech; B: target Better value sooner safer happier outcomes not platform fads; C: use continuous conversational governance with pull‑request approvals and paved platform paths; D: run DevOps loops at fractal scales with observability and SLOs; E: evolve systems via strangler fig and continuous funding (recommend ~20% for cleanup). Examples: one bank manages about 1,200 services, refactors layered handoffs into cross‑functional teams, and reports handoff, risk and cost multipliers when dependencies are removed.
