An Enterprise Architecture Framework (EAF) maps all of the software development processes within the enterprise and how they relate and interact to fulfill the enterprise's mission.It provides organizations with the ability to understand and analyze weaknesses or inconsistencies to be identified and addressed.There are a number of already established EAF in use today; some of these frameworks were developed for very specific areas, whereas others have broader functionality.This study provides a comparison of several frameworks that can then be used for guidance in the selection of an EAF that meets the needed criteria.
