What is the Enterprise Architecture in Practice course about?
Many architects understand frameworks like TOGAF or Zachman but struggle to translate them into systems, roadmaps, and governance that teams actually follow. The gap isn’t knowledge, it’s execution structure. Without clear patterns, sequencing, and stakeholder alignment, even the best designs stall in review or get diluted in delivery.
