What are Enterprise Architecture Frameworks?
An Enterprise Architecture Framework Diagram is a classification scheme of architectures (governance architecture, business architecture, information architecture, technical architecture, human capital architecture, security architecture, system architecture, software architecture, infrastructure architecture, etc.) and their important artifacts.
Enterprise architecture frameworks can be used as background to report one or more types of artifacts, such as the concepts that make up the architectures.
Framework Enterprise Architecture Management Views.
From Architecture Diagram to Management Report View
The first visualization shows a management report view of an Enterprise Architecture Framework diagram. It is not a dull, meaningless visualization of an architecture model, but a decision-supporting report view of the framework: red colors mean taking action now because the current situation is blocking the realization of goals!
You can, for example, build views by clicking away layers or filtering out specific information.
This example shows how you can and should, as an Enterprise Architect, report to your stakeholders the status of work in progress on EA, compliant to an Enterprise Architecture.
Why Create Enterprise Architecture Frameworks?
This Enterprise Architecture Framework Diagram was created for you to demonstrate how effective it is to generate enterprise architecture frameworks on Dragon1.
The second and third visualizations (ideal and realistic) show a conceptual view of the enterprise architecture framework. It answers the question: What are the most essential concepts of our architectures within the framework?
Framework Enterprise Architecture domains.
In the Framework, more than one enterprise architecture domain is missing.

Dragon1 saves a lot of valuable time!
You immediately see why you need an EA Tool as an Enterprise Architect. Enterprise architecture frameworks have so many possible views that you do not want to create and update every report view by hand when a manager asks for a new view for a new situation, aspect, or period.
No, you want your manager to present clickable enterprise architecture frameworks and have your manager generate the views based on the repository's information by setting parameters like time.
