Architecture Diagrams - What is the Value

Enterprise Architecture can be created as a set of views of important aspects of the organization.

These views, often visualized as architecture diagrams, help to cut IT costs, standardize technology, mitigate risks, improve processes, realize strategy, and enable innovation. Stakeholders of the company utilize their views to inform their decision-making on various issues and concerns. Project managers and workers use these views to guide their project activities.

Learn to create Architecture Diagrams

Architecture diagrams help communicate and decide which concepts are strategically important for the company to do right and which are not. The architecture diagram illustrates a coherent set of necessary concepts for the organization's strategy.

If the board and directors of the organization approve this diagram, then every project or innovation in the company will have to align its design and realization activities with this diagram.

Also, progress on implementing concepts and conflicts or problems between concepts can be visualized here.

One of the objectives of the architects will be to create a detailed concept design per concept, showing the principles of the concepts.
