Humans first banded together into tribes for protection from a challenging environment.

Their main business : hunt to survive.

Modern projects

People still band together in organizations.

Modern business is less dangerous (though..).

Modern projects have to provide services to clients and users with cost, risks and quality under control.

But

today’s enterprise architecture is far more complex to represent….

How often the different actors of an IT project (from marketing to development) see a different animal to hunt!!!

This is a source of frictions and inefficiencies.
