Origin story

Hi, I’m Stephen Gates from Brisbane, Australia. I've been an Enterprise Architect for over 20 years.

I unintentionally created the Enterprise Architecture Pitch Deck.

My original idea was to catalogue the different reports you can make using the LeanIX Enterprise Architecture Suite.

  • What questions do they answer?
  • What data is needed to create them?
  • What report settings and views are available?

I was going to document this on a website. Then I thought of showing each report on a playing card to help me quickly prototype a slide deck and test the clarity of its message.

I love playing games with friends and family. It was obvious — I needed to make a card game about Enterprise Architecture. Cards for work and play.

Thanks to everyone who helped create the Enterprise Architecture Pitch Deck.

Special thanks to those who influenced the game design:

  • Susan — for making up the numbers, despite not really wanting to play
  • Calum — for introducing me to new games and patiently explaining the rules
  • Sophie — for patiently listening to my ideas and her diplomatic suggestions
  • Charlotte — for injecting her fun personality into the few games graced by her presence
