Explanation

In the Preliminary Phase, the enterprise architecture work is scoped and constrained by business imperatives including business requirements, cultural aspirations, strategic intent, and forecast financial requirements. These are all externally-driven business considerations. Technical elegance is an aesthetic and engineering preference-it is not a business imperative and does not drive the definition of architecture requirements. Enterprise architecture must be justified by business value, not by technical sophistication or design purity.
