Various business-oriented areas of interest
Promised some time back that I’d start to document what I’ve done with Zachman and TOGAF in the enterprise-architecture space. Anyone who’s tried to use either of these ‘standards’ in real-life enterprise-architecture will know that they both have severe limitations …
