What does the EA Governance Standard Requirements include?
The EA Governance Standard Requirements package includes a 210‑page PDF guide, a 120‑question self‑assessment questionnaire (Word), an Excel criteria checklist, benchmark CSV data tables, an interactive self‑assessment dashboard (Excel), five policy and decision‑record templates (Word), and a three‑slide implementation roadmap (PowerPoint). All deliverables are designed for immediate digital download and ready‑to‑use in your organisation.
Do you risk failed audits, regulatory fines, or costly rework because your enterprise architecture (EA) governance is unclear, fragmented, or un‑measured? Without a proven framework, senior architects and governance leads often lose accountability, miss critical risk signals, and cannot prove the business value of EA decisions. The EA Governance Standard Requirements resource eliminates those gaps , it gives you a ready‑to‑use methodology that turns vague governance into auditable, KPI‑driven performance the moment you download it. Choosing not to adopt this standard leaves you exposed to compliance breaches, lost contracts, and competitive disadvantage.
