Situational Adaptations of ACET

Abstract

In this chapter we address the fact that not all ACET problems are equal, and ACET solutions therefore need to be configured to address the specifics of the respective ACET problem. We approach this configuration problem by the means of situational method engineering. We find that the two most important differences of ACET problem situations result from the enterprise architecture management approach used, and the respective type of the transformation. We therefore present classifications for enterprise architecture management and enterprise transformation, and propose an appropriate ACET problem situation matrix. We finally demonstrate how ACET solutions are configured to a given problem situation.
