Governance from Day Three

by Mike Rosen

One of the main areas of development in EA and SOA this year has been in governance. Pundits describe the value and importance of governance, while vendors hawk solutions, as if governance were something we could actually buy. Lately, I've seen articles and presentations that espouse "Governance from Day One." This is one area where I disagree. Yes, governance is important at some point, but too much governance too soon can mean death to an initiative.
