Dragon1 User Group

Enthusiastic practitioners who play a central role

One of the main tasks of the Dragon1 Architecture Foundation is monitoring the future development of the method. The Dragon1 User Group has been established in order to give bearing, gravitas and significance.

Practitioners of the method are direct stakeholders for having an up-to-date method. They can best indicate which further developments in the method help them best in short and in the long term. Practitioners are also indispensable for assessing proposals for improvement or for extending the method.

Contributing to the future development of Dragon1

There are three ways in which you as a practitioner can actively participate in Dragon1:

• Discussions on Dragon1 Visual Enterprise Architecture as a LinkedIn group;
• As a member of the user group creating a personal Dragon1 architecture portfolio,
