商品描述

The book goes a long way toward raising the profile of the invaluable role enterprise architects play in major software initiatives. For this reason, I have confidence that if organizations take these insights to heart and leverage them effectively, they will begin to deliver consistent, real returns on their IT investments. Will this book make a difference? Time will tell, but my sense is that it very well can.--William M. Ulrich, President at Tactical Strategy Group, Inc.

Confessions of an Enterprise Architect is the insider's track on how to succeed as an enterprise architect despite the politics, budgets, setbacks, personnel issues, and technological challenges. It includes theoretical and pragmatic discussions about the discipline, imparts constructive recommendations born of personal experience, and presents a set of best practices for developing professional-caliber architectures that deliver professional-caliber systems.

The book also features numerous '"Confessions," which are practical tips, warnings, and guidance from a practicing enterprise architect garnered over a career of independent practice. A sample of confessions includes:

  • Accommodating change is the sole constant in the professional life of an enterprise architect
  • Many enterprise architects don't appreciate that their decisions not only affect system design but also impact the development environment and influence the structure of project teams
  • In many cases, initial project estimates are so inaccurate that approvers would be better off developing their own assessments
  • In many project teams, the user is the last consideration

The insights contained in this book, typified by its "Confessions" and "Pro Tips," offer organizations a way forward with enterprise architecture. This book also explains how enterprise architects can engage senior business leaders as effectively and as fluently as engaging business analysts, developers, business professionals, program managers, and fellow architects. In addition, it demonstrates how to communicate sophisticated, leading-edge concepts in clean, simple ways that facilitate buy-in at every level. Most importantly, the book makes the case that a professional enterprise architect--and, by extension, a professional-caliber enterprise architecture--sets the foundation for continued success in an industry accustomed to failure.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

這本書大大提升了企業架構師在重大軟體專案中所扮演的無價角色的知名度。因此，我相信如果組織能夠認真對待這些見解並有效利用它們，他們將開始在IT投資上獲得穩定的實際回報。這本書會有所改變嗎？時間會證明，但我感覺它非常有可能會有所作為。--William M. Ulrich，Tactical Strategy Group, Inc.總裁

《企業架構師的告白》是關於如何在政治、預算、挫折、人事問題和技術挑戰中成功成為企業架構師的內部指南。它包含了關於這一學科的理論和實務討論，傳授了基於個人經驗的建設性建議，並提供了一套最佳實踐，以開發能夠交付專業水準系統的專業級架構。

本書還包含了許多「告白」，這些是來自一位實踐中的企業架構師在獨立執業生涯中獲得的實用建議、警告和指導。告白的範例包括：

- 適應變化是企業架構師專業生活中唯一不變的常數
- 許多企業架構師未能意識到他們的決策不僅影響系統設計，還影響開發環境並影響專案團隊的結構
- 在許多情況下，初步專案估算的準確性如此之低，以至於批准者不如自己進行評估
- 在許多專案團隊中，使用者是最後考慮的對象

本書中包含的見解，以其「告白」和「專業提示」為典範，為組織提供了企業架構的前進之路。本書還解釋了企業架構師如何能夠像與商業分析師、開發人員、商業專業人士、專案經理和其他架構師互動一樣，有效且流利地與高層商業領導者互動。此外，它展示了如何以清晰、簡單的方式傳達複雜的前沿概念，以促進各級的認同。最重要的是，本書論證了一位專業的企業架構師——以及由此延伸的專業級企業架構——為在一個習慣於失敗的行業中持續成功奠定了基礎。
