Tailor your playlist journey to your role and strategy

If you're an Enterprise Architect

Follow this sequence: EA General → ServiceNow Exchange: EA (for peer practices) → What's New EA Australia (stay current).

If you're a CIO or IT Leader responsible for technology strategy

Start with: EA General, then ServiceNow Exchange: EA for strategic perspectives. These give you the business impact and governance framing without implementation details. If you're coordinating technology investments with portfolio decisions, add SPM General to understand how EA connects to strategic portfolio management.
