Tension between EA and the PMO
April 12, 2010
One of the themes at the recent EA Symposium was tension between Enterprise Architecture departments and Project Management Offices. High-quality long-term architecture sometimes gets in the way of delivering projects quickly & cheaply. Many participants were struggling with internal politics, to get governance structures to balance architecture and project needs.
My presentation gave some analytical approaches for comparing EA and PM methodologies, and recommended a synchronized, holistic approach to governing both. If we acknowledge their differences, we can respect the contributions of both.

Hi Alana,
Would it be possible to post your presentation in another format such as PDF. This is a very interesting subject on the overhead of such architectures.
Thank you!
