Every project has a plan and a design. Either implicit or, even better, explicit. In that plan and design, the concepts, elements, and components are outlined that, together, form the solution the project realizes. It is these concepts, elements, and components you want to draw on a piece of (digital) paper, understanding their interrelationships and dependencies.
Next, you can define indicators that color, show, or hide a concept, element, or component based on input data. For instance, if certain processes are not yet designed on a specific date (according to the plan), the indicators will automatically color them red on the blueprint, if desired.
Also, you can define action paths. This means that if you click on a visual item on the poster, other items respond to that click: show the indicator (color, etc..), highlight or even play a sound, or show a popup with a YouTube video.
In this way, you can have daily, weekly, or monthly status/progress reports of your project and take the right measures based on what you see.
As enterprise architecture has its biggest added value in ensuring projects are successful, it is also important to know exactly what a project is and what it takes to run a successful project.
The IT project auditing checklist on our Project Management software page is the only thing you need to make sure every project is a success.

This maybe the first time you see an Enterprise Architecture. What you see is a total concept carefully selected based on a strategic approach. Every concept here is designed globally (as a principle diagram) and in detail.
Projects use the global and detailed designs (or projections) of the concepts to design and realize their solutions.
