Problem

What doesn't work

Product teams made architecture decisions autonomously: technology choices, integration design, scaling. Result — technology zoo, service duplication (45 of 83), incompatible interfaces. Architecture errors discovered only in production. EA function effectively absent: 1 process, 1 standard, 8 initiatives.

Solution

Architectural approach

Created enterprise architecture function from scratch: growth from 1 to 32 standard processes, 1 to 29 standards, 8 to 81 initiatives under AC control. Architecture Decision Records (ADR) and Architecture Decision Log (ADL). Architecture Committee (AC) with mandatory verification — 15+ protocols, 50+ projects reviewed in 2022–2024. OTIF metrics. C4 Model for documentation. TOGAF methodology.

My role & contribution

CTO / Technical Director

Built the enterprise architecture function from scratch: from 1 process to 32, from 1 standard to 29, from 8 to 81 initiatives. Personally chaired the Architecture Committee (15+ protocols, 50+ projects). Developed NFR checklists, OTIF metrics, ADR/ADL templates. Implemented mandatory architecture gate.
