Benchmarking in 2014
Summary: Overall Deficiencies
Deficiencies
There is no uniform architecture notation in most organizations.
The scope of business architecture documentation is predominantly
limited to business operations.
The integration of EAM into corporate planning and governance is only
rudimentary developed.
Despite considerable investments in tools, analysis support (e.g., for
complexity measurements) remains rather limited.
Architecture reporting is weakly developed thus far.
