Removing the barriers to the architecture discipline
Have you ever been confused by jargon-y architect language? Things like “TOGAF”, “BPMN”, and “UML” — what do they mean, and why do they matter? Or suffered through a system implementation that had a lot of upfront planning, but ended up with scope creep?
Welcome to the What’s Your Baseline Podcast, where we explore these topics and more. This podcast is about Enterprise Architecture and Business Process Management, and how you can set up your practice to get the most out of it.
It is for:
- newbies who just get started with these topics,
- organizations who want to improve their EA/BPM groups and the value that they get from it,
- as well as practitioners who want to get a different perspective and care about the discipline.
So what can you expect here? Each episode, we’ll be diving into a topic that is relevant for you. What it is, why it’s interesting and why you should care. We’ll also share stories from the road – how to implement best practices, and their value.
Join us on this bi-weekly journey with the What’s Your Baseline Podcast and companion blog.
