Repository governance
Argh! It's the dreaded G-word. Yes, governance is upon us. What would a book on EA be without a reference to governance? We promise to be brief. Our primary intent is to make a distinction between architecture governance and repository governance.
Architecture governance
Architecture governance is about making architectural decisions. This subject usually includes such areas as the following:
- Governing boards
- Principles and policies around architecture
- Governance review processes and documentation
In-depth coverage of architecture governance is beyond the scope of this book. There are already tomes written on this subject. You can see what Sparx Systems says about governance at the following URL: https://sparxsystems.com/enterprise_architect_user_guide/15.2/guidebooks/ea_managing_an_enterprise_architecture.html.
While we have our own perspectives on governance, we would prefer to not muddle this book with yet another opinion...
