NOTE: During the editing process, we realised that Hassan and Jon refer to the \"City/Town planning metaphor\" rather than analogy! We really do mean analogy, however we didn't have time to re-record - hopefully this doesn't spoil your enjoyment!
On this Field Notes episode of the Enterprise Architecture Experience podcast, Hassan and Jon discuss the use of the City or Town Planning as an analogy for the work that Enterprise Architecture do within a business. They get into the detail of how they've used it previously, and some of the things to watch out for in its use.
We have created a couple of slides which talk about a high-level way in which the analogy can be used which you can download from Google Drive here: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/11Gx5xuYBOdGnM8a_Ma-H6opkBDc_ZDCN5cI-dWlkuDw/edit?usp=sharing
Field Notes is a shorter, more informal version of the Enterprise Architecture Experience where Hassan and Jon chat about a more operational topic for Enterprise Architecture Leadership.
