Today we cover how to form an Architecture Board and EA Governance. I also talk about why EA cannot be done bottom up and absolutely requires Executive approval. But most importantly I talk about how to setup the governance. This is at a very high level and requires a deeper study and every organization has its own organic path to maturity. Let me know what you think.
