Essential Architecture Products
According to Dragon1, the open EA Method, there are several essential products architects need to create anytime, anywhere. Stakeholders will expect that these products are there before they ask for them.
The products are grouped in seven architectures from the generic Enterprise Architecture Framework Diagram of Dragon1.
Why read this page?
If you are aiming to increase capabilities, save costs, guide transformation and project in a certain domain or area, just creating these architecture products alone will make the organization benefit.
In Dragon1, an architecture is defined as a total concept for a structure. So, for instance, the technical architecture or technology architecture is the total concept of the IT-Infrastructure of an organization.
The essential architecture products are:
