Strategic IT Management A Toolkit for Enterprise Architecture Management

"I recommend the book both as a wide-ranging introduction to IT strategy and IT planning and as a methodology reference source for experienced enterprise architects. Very hands-on, very practice-oriented, the book presents specific suggestions on how to structure Enterprise Architecture Management and take it into action, making work more cost-efficient for CIOs, IT managers and IT architects."

"Architecture management for IT means much more than to design and to maintain blueprints and guidelines for software systems development. Like IT strategy and IT project portfolio management, architecture management for IT has many strategic implications and needs to be tightly coordinated with the business. This books therefore presents a practice-oriented approach to application architecture management for IT which is embedded in strategic IT planning, enterprise architecture management and IT governance, and which is linked to IT standardization. Special emphasis is laid on the organization (processes, roles, governance) as well as on situation-specific customization of the presented concepts and models."
