Enterprise Architecture Current State Assessment

A comprehensive, self-service assessment for evaluating the maturity of your enterprise architecture practice — approximately 100 questions across 16 dimensions, each scored on a four-point scale, delivered as an editable Word document with a bonus Business Architecture Intro Guide.

Why This Isn't Just the BA Assessment Relabeled

Enterprise architecture maturity assessments have a specific failure mode generic ones don't anticipate: EA sits across so many other functions — business architecture, technology architecture, security, data — that a generic assessment either reduces to "how good is your documentation," missing everything else EA actually does, or tries to cover every adjacent domain and stops measuring anything specific to EA at all. Getting the dimension boundaries right, so "technology utilization" is measured distinctly from "collaboration across architectural domains" instead of the same underlying maturity showing up as a low score in both, is exactly the calibration work a one-shot AI answer skips. And because EA's value is usually judged by how well it influences decisions it doesn't own outright, several dimensions have to measure influence and adoption, not just internal practice quality — a distinction a generic maturity template built for a single-owner function doesn't need to make.

What's Inside

• 100+ Assessment Questions — spanning 16 dimensions including leadership support, methodology, governance, technology utilization, and agility
• Four-Point Scoring Model — each question offers four choices (1-4 points), enabling self-scoring and dimensional analysis
• Editable Word Format — customize questions, scoring, or dimensions to fit your organization
• Bonus: Business Architecture Intro Guide — a practical primer on architecture concepts and best practices

Assessment Dimensions

• Leadership Support and Awareness
• Integration with Strategy Execution
• Methodology, Frameworks, and Governance
• Collaboration Across Architectural Domains
• Team Composition, Competence, and Performance Metrics
• Technology Utilization, Scalability, and Agility

How Teams Use It

• Conduct a baseline health check of the EA practice before launching improvements
• Pinpoint gaps in governance, methodology, or cross-domain collaboration specifically, not in aggregate
• Build a data-driven transformation roadmap grounded in dimension-level scores
• Report EA maturity findings to executive leadership with a defensible, calibrated instrument

Who It's For

Enterprise architects, EA practice leads, CIOs, IT strategy teams, and consultants evaluating organizational EA readiness.
