Dismantle the overwhelming complexity in your IT projects with strategies and
real-world examples from a leading expert on enterprise architecture. This guide
describes best practices for creating an efficient IT organization that consistently
delivers on time, on budget, and in line with business needs.
IT systems have become too complex-and too expensive. Complexity can create
delays, cost overruns, and outcomes that do not meet business requirements.
The resulting losses can impact your entire company. This guide demonstrates
that, contrary to popular belief, complex problems demand simple solutions.
The author believes that 50 percent of the complexity of a typical IT project
can and should be eliminated-and he shows you how to do it.
You'll learn a model for understanding complexity, the three tenets of complexity
control, and how to apply specific techniques such as checking architectures
for validity. Find out how the author's methodology could have saved a real-world
IT project that went off track, and ways to implement his solutions in a variety
of situations.
