There is a need to augment the traditional enterprise portfolio management process with a more robust process for managing the evolution of enterprise, program and system architectures. These architectures need to evolve towards a desired end state that best meets the needs and concerns of various stakeholders for the enterprise and the extent and variety of systems under its purview. This paper describes a six‐step process for managing architectures under these conditions. It has been implemented at some large government agencies and is based on best practices from government and industry. This process is one of those essential to implementing the relatively new practice of enterprise systems engineering.
