Enterprise Architecture Measurement: A Systematic Mapping Study

The literature about enterprise architecture (EA) measurement discusses a number of challenges. This systematic mapping survey explores the EA measurement research area to figure out how the research area is structured, look at gaps in EA measurement research, and recommend future improvements. Some of the key findings of this paper show that current research only address a limit perspective on the meaning of EA. In addition, the EA measurement literature presents indications that its theoretical grounding is lacking with regards to the meaning of EA measurement, the evaluation of EA, the assessment of EA, and the analysis of EA.
