About the Book

This anthology from the Tetradian weblog explores more about real-world practice for enterprise-architecture and its related disciplines.

This book includes about 35 posts and 40 images from the weblog. These posts are split into four groups:

  • Practice: Roles and Skills - assesses the various types and needs for skills in architecture practice and more.
  • Practice: Engagement - summarises the challenges of engaging stakeholders and others in the processes of change, and practical tools and tactics to help that happen.
  • Practice: Influences - suggests examples of elements and concerns that can influence architecture practice in various ways.
  • Practice: Mispractice - describes examples of flawed discipline and poor practice that can or do cause damage to change-projects and to architecture itself.
