Cons of the Small Team•Less resources devoted to the project•EA only part of the job, other requirements
may trump EA work•More time required in meetings with subject
matter experts to understand content•No opportunity for delegation of responsibility•Very difficult to target multiple business areas
at once•Somewhat difficult to tackle multiple processes
at once
Pros of the Small Team

understanding of EA concepts and of each other’s capabilities
•Ease of raising the priority of EA activity on a given day
