This step by step guide to DYA is different. It provides pragmatic guidelines for developing enterprise architecture and presents a maturity model that helps the users of DYA to state realistic goals and to outline feasible steps to achieve these goals. Particularly useful is the emphasis on a coherent enterprise architecture vision, including the value added by the architecture. I warmly recommend this book to practicing enterprise architects.Prof. Dr. Roel WieringaUniversiteit Twente. Artikel-Nr. 9781402056055
