What you'll learn

Lean and enterprise architecture are two great management methodologies with some intrinsic tension between them. In this course, Enterprise Architecture: Adapting to Lean and Agile, you’ll learn to manage that tension. First, you’ll explore TOGAF, the primary EA methodology, and how Lean relates to it. Next, you’ll discover the lean wastes and how they bear on EA. Finally, you’ll learn how to reconcile the goals and means of the two together. When you’re finished with this course, you’ll have the skills and knowledge of both enterprise architecture and lean software development needed to create a hybrid methodology that leverages the best of both.
