An Overview Towards the Assessment and Measurement of Enterprise Architecture Dynamics

Abstract

In a world of constant change and disruption, organizations must rapidly adapt and innovate to succeed. Responding to new opportunities, adopting technological advancements, and meeting evolving customer demands are essential. Enterprise architecture (EA) plays a crucial role by aligning IT infrastructure and business processes with strategic goals. However, a static EA is inadequate in this dynamic environment. Organizations need an agile EA that can seamlessly adapt to changing conditions. Evaluating and measuring EA dynamism is vital for maintaining competitiveness. This involves defining measurement indicators to quantify dynamism, identifying strengths and areas for improvement, tracking EA evolution, and enabling informed decision-making for continuous enhancement. In this paper we conduct a literature review of the measurement of dynamics in enterprise architecture with the goal to come out with a categorization of dynamic enterprise architecture metrics.
