Software architecture diagrams help bring life to an EA strategy in the eyes of the business. These models aid in visualizing, communicating, and ultimately executing the EA strategy across the enterprise. Some examples are shown in the table below.
| Diagram Type | Value |
|---|---|
| System architecture diagrams | Provide a high-level view of the entire system architecture |
| Sequence diagrams | Visualize dynamic processes and workflows in technical systems |
| Network diagrams | Provide key information for troubleshooting, network design, and security analysis |
Software architecture diagrams serve as visual blueprints for the technology frameworks underpinning EA strategy. They enhance communication between developers and stakeholders and are essential for enterprise architects during the planning stages.
Visualizing technical details through diagrams helps architects justify decisions, like the use of new tools or process improvements, to non-technical stakeholders while communicating how the technical components of EA strategy relate to business objectives.
