The Zachman Framework is a structured way to organize and analyze the components of an enterprise. Developed by John Zachman in the 1980s, it provides a visual representation of different perspectives, such as business goals and technology, across various levels of detail. The framework consists of a grid with six rows and six columns, where each cell represents a unique aspect of the enterprise architecture. This framework helps organizations ensure that all elements, from data to processes, are aligned and integrated. By categorizing information, it facilitates better communication among stakeholders and supports effective decision-making in the development and management of systems.
