ABSTRACT
LEA bridges the gap of business vision and the technical community through a simple framework of architectural responsibilities. These responsibilities require a minimal set of deliverables other resources use (or consume) that progressively transforms the visions of the enterprise into structured, executable artifacts for technology. The simplicity of LEA is that in progressive stages of enterprise architecture, the artifacts support and build into the next set of artifacts. By keeping to a minimal set and building the artifacts onto each other, LEA is a simple framework to understand. This ultimately increases the chance of success as this design is more usable by diverse resources, simplifies communications, and reduces drifts of interpretation from vision to implementation.
