Communicating business requirements, operations structures, and technical solutions between IT and business people with different backgrounds has always been a challenge. The first book in the Architect Resource Library from the Microsoft Architectural Strategy Team shows how to use models to overcome this challenge: Dynamic Modeling: Aligning Business and IT.
