The business sustainability of the organizations requires a representation of their business and IT architecture to sustain business decisions as well as to plan transformation initiatives necessary for competitiveness in the market. However, with current approaches and tools, keeping updated and reliable architectures of business and IT has been proven to be a major effort consuming activity. The paper presents an approach to use project and portfolio management processes as information sources to update automatically organization's business and IT architecture representations. Such architectural views has a major impact on the capacity that organizations have to plan new projects as well as to better execute ongoing projects.
