Enterprise Architecture (EA) framework allows an enterprise to get best alignment between business and IT, because EA represent business side and IT side together in a single model. However, todays EA framework (including TOGAF) is not dedicated designed for Small Enterprises or Small Business. In other hand, Small Business usually have very specific condition. In this case, they have very limited resources related to IT. It will be better if there is a more dedicated guideline as a reference for Small Enterprises in developing EA. So, by their limitations, Small Business can design good EA to support their business. This research is conducted to develop "EA Development Guideline for Small Enterprise" that modified from TOGAF 9.1. The resulted guideline has been tested and fulfilled all criteria from both content specification and format criteria.
