A Flexible Enterprise Architecture Management Method (FEAM)

Enterprise Architecture (EA) is employed by enterprises in order to align their business and Information Technology (IT). Most EA projects deal with complexity of business and IT architecture especially in implementation phase. In order to cope with the implementation complexity, this paper presents a flexible management method for EA project. The Proposed method is inspired by agile architecture in order to be flexible, iterative, and faster. The proposed method reduce complexity of EA project by providing appropriate support in EA implementation, filling the gap between strategic planning and implementation, and providing continuous improvement method in order to support future changes. The results of this research are useful for both academic and practical purposes
