A Comparison Enterprise Architecture Implementation Methodologies

A number of methodologies for implementing Enterprise Architecture (EA) have been proposed in the literature. Understanding methodologies' strengths and weaknesses play significant role in selecting appropriate methodology for each EA project. This paper reviews five EA implementation methodologies including: EAP, TOGAF, DODAF, Gartner, and FEA and compare them based on designed framework. Comparison framework is designed based on concepts, modeling, and processes criteria. This comparison provides vast information about selected methodologies based on defined criteria.
