Frequently asked questions
Answers about frameworks, governance, tenancy and getting started.
Is Lintel aligned to TOGAF and ArchiMate?
Yes. The repository is structured around the TOGAF Architecture Development Method and models in ArchiMate notation, so your existing frameworks and skills carry straight across. Alignment is a design basis, not a certification claim.
How does Lintel support an Architecture Review Board?
Lintel has an ARB workbench. Members record votes, the ARB Chair makes the decision, and reasoning is required when the vote is not unanimous. Outcomes are approve, reject, approve with caveats or defer, and caveats become tracked actions.
What does scoring against principles, standards, policies and patterns mean?
Lintel EA holds a strict chain from principles to standards to policies to patterns. Solutions and repository elements can be scored against that chain, so a decision is traceable to the principle behind it.
How is my data separated from other organisations?
Each organisation has its own tenant with its own live and staging environments. Staging data is anonymised, and real data lives only in live. Dev data is never promoted to staging and staging data is never promoted to live.
Can we use our own domain name?
Yes. Customers can supply their own URLs for staging and live. By default each tenant is served on its own named address under lintel-ea.com.
How do we get started?
