Abstract

Based on interviews with a number of architects andmanagers from a wide range of organizations, we characterizehow architecture is perceived in practice. We identifythree groups of organizations that differ with respect to theirlevel of architectural thinking and the alignment of businessand IT on architectural issues. Analysis of the interviewsfurther indicates that these three groups differ in thearchitecture aspects and critical success factors they emphasize.Our results provide a starting point for assessingarchitecture maturity and alignment within organizations,and can be used to help harmonize different architecturaltunes played within organizations.
