The GAO’s Enterprise Architecture Management Maturity Framework (EAMMF) provides a systematic approach for organizations to assess and improve their enterprise architecture (EA) capabilities. Building on feedback from its earlier versions, the updated framework introduces seven hierarchical maturity stages that guide organizations on their journey toward EA mastery. It showcases 59 core elements, emphasizing the interconnectedness of these elements, maturity stages, and essential attributes. Additionally, the framework offers four distinct categorizations of essential attributes that offer varied perspectives on the objectives and characteristics of core elements. Beyond merely acting as a theoretical model, EAMMF serves as a practical tool, enabling organizations to determine their current EA capabilities, recognize areas for improvement, and plot a tailored roadmap toward achieving higher EA maturity. Readers delving deeper into this chapter will gain comprehensive insights into the structure, components, and diverse applications of the EAMMF, further understanding its significance in shaping an organization’s EA journey.
