People, process & tooling – always in that sequence.

Enterprise Architecture, particularly in the Technology Domain is not a well understood or well developed capability in the market today. Technology EAs are frequently dropped into the role from other parts of the IT business without the experience, training or background as true enterprise architects.

Technology EA capability is also not required full-time over the long-term in most organisations but is frequently essential for particular business challenges and at a point in time. 

A successful man

These specialists require a broad range of skills that would only be honed by doing significant architectural work repeatedly under different circumstances meeting different requirements (usually out of industry). For most organisations there is not sufficient depth or breadth of projects to develop this skill set to a high degree of mastery in-house.

Without highly-skilled Technology EAs supporting programs of significant technical change, the value and outcomes will be consistently compromised leading to waste, inefficiency, and mounting technical debt. 

Experience shows:

Most contract EAs will not make the effort to up-skill the client organisation and transfer knowledge, leaving a vacuum when their contract ends

Trying to develop internal Technology EA capability will lead to burn-out, churn and lower team cohesion.

Operating without suitable Technology EA support will increase project risk, inconsistency of delivery and result in poor outcomes
