Frequently Asked Questions
What is ArchiMate and when should you use it?
ArchiMate is an open standard for enterprise architecture modeling maintained by The Open Group. It provides a common language for describing how business processes, applications, and technology infrastructure relate to each other. Use ArchiMate when you need to communicate architecture decisions across business and technical stakeholders, plan large-scale transformations, or document complex system dependencies.
How does ArchiMate differ from UML or C4 diagrams?
ArchiMate focuses on enterprise-level relationships across business, application, and technology layers, while UML is primarily for detailed software design and C4 is for software architecture at varying zoom levels. ArchiMate excels at showing how business capabilities map to applications and infrastructure, making it the preferred choice for CTO-level architecture governance and transformation planning.
