Abstract
Both enterprises and public sector units take advantage of Enterprise Architecture concepts in an increasing manner. Therefore, a periodical assessment of its effectiveness (maturity) and suggesting certain improvements on the basis of obtained results is recommended (e.g. by TOGAF, a de facto Enterprise Architecture development standard). This article is an overview of existing approaches in this area, and identifies its weaknesses and strengths. Also, the author’s approach to assessment of enterprise architecture practice is discussed and directions of further research work in this area are presented.
