Purpose

Enterprise architectures contain large volumes of complex and inter-dependent information. Effective communication of targeted information to the right stakeholders at the right time is a critical success factor for enterprise architecture.

Identification of a communications timetable, showing which communications will occur with which stakeholder groups at what time and in what location
