The Software Architect takes guidance from the Enterprise Architect to ensure the architecture of a project matches the overall direction of the IT strategy.
Typically, an Enterprise Architect is seen as a key figurehead, the bridge between business and it.
In addition to these tasks, which one might expect from an Enterprise Architect, one key but often overlooked activity is the need to review change control requests.
Any change that is not routine should be reviewed by an Enterprise Architect.
The Enterprise Architect has overall accountability for this and delegates some of the work to a specialized role.
