The big picture: Interface so that your personnel is leading the development of a single holistic enterprise architecture model for the organization from all architecture perspectives (Business Services, Business Processes, Information, Applications and Technology).
Why it matters: Develop experience developing as is and to be architecture designs and transition plans between the current state and target architecture under DoDAF framework.

The backdrop: Safeguard that your company monitors and reports on the progress of systems development projects, ensuring they are aligned with business processes and standards.
Between the lines: Collaborate with Project Managers, IT managers, domain architects, and others to provide estimates, develop overall implementation solution plans, and work to ensure the solution gets implemented.
How it works: Make sure your design is responsible for identifying (internal) customer needs, prioritizing capabilities, features, and functionality, translating the needs to technical solutions and functional/technical requirements and guiding the work through the Program.
Go deeper: Ensure you take on the most challenging problems your (internal) customers face and provide innovative solutions that can involve data strategy, use cases and analytical modeling, data governance, AI/ML platforms, and enterprise architecture strategy.
Yes, but: Be confident that your operation supports business and product delivery partners in successful build, test, and release of solutions while ensuring adherence to the Enterprise Architecture direction and strategies.
On the flip side: Establish that your staff defines data architecture standards, policies, and procedures for the organization; structure, attributes, and nomenclature of data elements; and applies accepted data architecture standards to technology projects.
What to watch: Verify that your strategy analyzes enterprise capabilities and IT opportunities in enterprise business processes; provides resolutions for enterprise architecture improvements by utilizing new technological applications.
Be smart: Confirm that your strategy is responsible for synchronization of architecture decisions supporting roadmaps and investment in improved or new digital capabilities, helping determine what digital capabilities the enterprise must develop to satisfy its digital priorities to stand apart from competition, optimize partnerships, and improve operations.
What they’re saying: “Build agile delivery, development, and quality teams, develop employee talent and create a culture the empowers teams to achieve business outcomes in an agile delivery model.“, Microsoft Solutions Architect
Meanwhile: Make sure the Information Technology (IT) Enterprise Architect focuses across the portfolio of projects and enterprise operations engaged with architecture, while supporting individual system or solution architects in that portfolio.
The bottom line: Develop experience creating and defining network requirements for new products, including technical documentation for all relevant processes and technologies, as well as implementation plans and procedures for implementing changes.
What’s next: Make sure your staff provides organization wide technical support and data base development for systems and applications supported by the Enterprise Architecture Team which require custom development expertise.
