John Zachman (architect)

John Zachman is a pioneer in the field of enterprise architecture, developing a structured framework to organize and analyze an organization’s processes, data, technology, and goals. His approach helps businesses understand how different parts of their operations fit together and support strategic objectives. The Zachman Framework uses a grid of perspectives and questions (like who, what, when, where, why, how) to ensure comprehensive planning and communication across technical and management layers. This systematic method enables organizations to improve efficiency, adaptability, and clarity in designing and managing complex systems.
