Lack of communication mechanism
is the major limitation in the EA evolution. The EA problem
today is not about the excellence of architecture design
rather it is about how much information has be conveyed to the
stakeholders. Traditional EA has become a
technical writing practice to produce volume of document .
LEA take an architecture
drawing approach to communicate directly with the
stakeholders. This is particularly important for LEA to
become international architecture practice in the multiple language
environment.
John Zachman suggests
that EA artifacts must be graphically presented . He
stated that :
“I would further suggest
that ultimately, the Enterprise will require that these artifacts
must necessarily be graphically presented because at the point in
time when you will need the artifacts, you won’t have the time to
read through a thousand pages of text to attempt to discern their
implications “
Traditional architecture approach
use drawing set as the token to communicate with piers and
stakeholder. The architecture drawing acts a the token with
standard format, legend, title block and drawing standard to that
the design can be certified and communicate between owner,
architecture, designers and developers. LEA adopt the similar
concept to establish LEA drawing set which serve as the token to
deliver architecture information to the stakeholders. The architecture
drawing sets include the business architecture
drawings, the application architecture drawings, data architecture
drawings and technology architecture drawings
