Wisnosky’s address takes the audience inside the cockpit of an airplane, comparing it to Enterprise Architecture.

He investigates how, like the instruments in an aircraft, Key Performance Indicators (Time, Cost, and Quality) provide simple real time measures that will guide and keep an organization on its desired course to its desired destination.

The address is based on a chapter of his book, DoDAF Wizdom, a how-to handbook for the Department of Defense Architecture Framework.
