Value of Enterprise Architecture is that it:
enhances both top-down and bottom-up approaches to planning
Top down by the holistic perspectives of the enterprise that EA provides
Bottom up as EA coordinates what would otherwise be disparate and separate program-
level planning activities
brings together multiple perspectives of business and technology at various levels of the
enterprise
improves decision-making

27. Roadblocks for Assessing Value of EA
• Linking outputs to outcomes is not an easy exercise, and in many cases
there are more than just EA outputs that would tie into an organization
outcome
• Establishing output to outcome links may require making changes to
business processes for some organizations … and change can be difficult
• There is no one size fits all as each organizationhas its specific needs that
must be met and a unique environment to work within
