Which EA framework does your organization use?

EA Practice Director Mike Rosen wasn't surprised to see that many organizations use a combination of frameworks for EA. He writes, "As a general characterization of the top three frameworks, TOGAF is strong in architectural process, Zachman is strong in providing a conceptual model for thinking about the enterprise, and DoDAF/MoDAF is strong in the specification of explicit architectural deliverables (models) based on an underlying metamodel. So perhaps it not surprising that 29% of organizations have adopted a hybrid approach that combines the strength of two or three of these frameworks together."
