Description
Architecture above the single system — capability modelling, portfolio strategy, governance, and influence without authority.
The step up from solution architecture to enterprise scope. It covers business capability modelling, assessing and rationalising an application portfolio, technology strategy and roadmapping, governance that helps rather than obstructs, and the influence work that is most of the job.
