Governing The Business Architecture Practice: A BACOE™ Field Guide for Business Architects

If you have been practicing Business Architecture for any length of time, you have felt the gap.

The architectural insight was real. The governance was not there to protect it.

BACOE governance is designed to close that gap. This article explains how it works from the practitioner's seat, what you are responsible for, what artifacts you own, and what governance looks like in practice.
