Enterprise Architecture (EA) debt emerges when short-term decisions lead to structural inefficiencies that hinder organizational agility and strategic alignment. This paper applies Work System Theory (WST) to categorize and analyze EA debt, offering a structured approach to identifying and managing it. We highlight key challenges, research gaps, and future directions by mapping EA debt to WST components. The findings emphasize the need for adaptive frameworks, improved stakeholder engagement, and systematic debt management strategies.

摘要

Enterprise Architecture (EA) debt emerges when short-term decisions lead to structural inefficiencies that hinder organizational agility and strategic alignment. This paper applies Work System Theory (WST) to categorize and analyze EA debt, offering a structured approach to identifying and managing it. We highlight key challenges, research gaps, and future directions by mapping EA debt to WST components. The findings emphasize the need for adaptive frameworks, improved stakeholder engagement, and systematic debt management strategies.
