Lean EA Framework (LEAF) Sparx EA Reference Implementation

See the reference implementation of the Lean Enterprise Architecture Framework (LEAF), which is created with Sparx EA -tool and published as HTML report.

The LEAF can be used for linking enterprise architecture to solution architecture. High-level enterprise architecture diagrams can be modelled with ArchiMate, from which modellers (and other stakeholders) can drill-down to more detailed diagrams that can be modelled with BPMN or UML.

The level-1 (the navigation landing page, the “front page”) of the LEAF is shown in the diagram below (figure 1).

Figure 1: Lean EA Framework (LEAF) – level-1.

The level-2 (domain view) of the LEAF is shown in the diagram below (figure 2).

Figure 2: Lean EA Framework (LEAF) – level-2.

The level-2 of the LEAF is opened from the content placeholders located on the level-1 Architecture Landscape part.

Development and Operations -phases are aligned with DevOps -approach.

This LEAF Framework is continuously updated.
