Organizations today face the challenge of two important enterprise architecture requirements: the need for agility and the overhead of regulatory governance. These requirements can be seen as mutually antagonistic - if business processes must be flexible, then governance of those processes may be difficult. This paper, part six in a six-part series, explores the notion of using manageability as a key Enterprise Architecture (EA) quality attribute to solve this problem. EA development is an ongoing process, and the central idea of this paper is that by applying manageability as an EA attribute, the organizational processes, systems, and software become manageable.
