Enterprise architecture, the specification of problems and their solutions for accomplishing the goals of a business, as a consequence of the involvement of numerous organizations and stakeholders and as a consequence of the applicability to numerous individuals, must be a collaborative engineering and a collaborative management activity. Therefore, resources, tools, repositories, and workflows that are either historically or optimally focused on supporting the engineering of a single engineer are inadequate and ultimately unsuitable for today's practical, complex enterprise architecture. A crisis exists in enterprise architecture and in systems engineering where contributors and decision makers can neither efficiently contribute to nor rationally decide on their enterprises because traditional and extant tools and systems are individual‐centric. Individuals and organizations struggle to accomplish goals nevertheless using a hodgepodge of practices and tools that can incontrovertibly be aspersed as “email and spreadsheet” engineering.
