An Enterprise Architecture (EA) framework is a set of processes, templates, and tools used to create and manage large-scale application architecture systems. It guides the creation and use of the architecture description of a system, aligning an organization's business strategy, processes, information, and technology to achieve its goals. Some well-known EA frameworks include TOGAF, the Zachman Framework, and others. EA is a discipline that manages conflicting approaches to success within large-scale organizations, introducing practical standards across departmental units and teams to streamline efforts and share resources intelligently.
