There is essentially 4 types of governance committees when it comes to the [[The Process of Enterprise Architecture]]:
| | Strategic | Tactical |
| -------- | -------------------- | ------------------- |
| Business | Strategic Committee | Investment Committe |
| IT | Technology Committee | Design Committee |
Design committees review [[EA Designs]] (i.e. plans for IT projects) and compare them back with the [[Enterprise Architecture]] of the company.
If a project it outside the recommendations of/constraints imposed by your companies EA, there is typically an _exemption_ process by which exceptions can be made. These either go:
Design Committee → Investment Committee → Strategic Committee
-or-
Design Committee → Technology Committee → Strategic Committee
...depending on whether the exception would affect **IT** more or the **business** more.
