Measuring the value of Enterprise Architecture on IT projects with CHAOS Research

摘要

This paper reports the findings of a explorative quantative study on the value of Enterprise Architecture (EA) on IT projects. In this study, we contribute to the research on the value of Enterprise Architecture by providing explorative empirical indications for the effects of Enterprise Architecture on 3076 IT projects in 28 organizations. These findings assist an understanding about the various effects of EA. In summation, our study provides strong indications for the value of Enterprise Architecture on IT projects and sets the foundation for further study in the matter.
