Requirements for EA Lingo

According to this article here at Inside Architecture, a business is a collection of different people, and when working on projects across the organization, we need to make sure everyone is using the same words to ensure understanding across the enterprise.

It’s very easy to use the same lingo from project to project, but even more difficult to communicate the lingo across the enterprise unless a system is set up. The goal of an organization should be to create an understanding across all departments and divisions across the enterprise.

Inside Architecture believes that your goals should be:

  • Create a simple information model for your enterprise
  • Create a consistent understanding between the people involved in the project

All of this should be done before any type of software is built for your company. If consistent terms are not settled upon, your software will be a waste, and risk your future projects.
