Due to the turbulent external business environment, the complexity of internal relations of the organization and the emergence of subversive IT roles, the business-IT alignment (BITA) has become increasingly difficult. The unsuccessful realization of BITA will lead to the waste of organizational resources, the reduction of return on investment and eventually the loss of competitive advantage. In recent years, coevolution has received widespread attention due to its ability to describe the dynamic relationship between IT and business. Multiple principles such as quickening learning action loops and adopt suitable organizing principles for achieving business and IT coevolution (BITC) are obtained. However, the continuous BITC is still hard to be achieved because of the lack of complete BITC management. This paper focuses on the management process of the BITC and how to perform it gradually. A coevolution framework combines the enterprise architecture (EA) approach with the coevolution analysis is proposed, which contains the design of EA, the sensing and governance of the misalignment and the procedure of the EA misalignment prevention. The steps for the governance and prevention of misalignment are discussed in particular. Through comparison with the principles, characteristics and methods of coevolution in the literature, the proposed framework is evaluated. The results show that the proposed framework is effective for BITC implementation.

通过企业架构的视角，实现业务-IT一致性的协同进化框架

由于动荡的外部业务环境，组织内部关系的复杂性以及颠覆性IT角色的出现，业务与IT的协调（BITA）变得越来越困难。BITA的未能成功实现将导致组织资源的浪费，投资回报的减少以及最终丧失竞争优势。近年来，协同进化由于能够描述IT与业务之间的动态关系而受到广泛关注。获得了多个原则，例如加快学习动作循环并采用适当的组织原则来实现业务和IT协同进化（BITC）。但是，由于缺乏完整的BITC管理，仍然很难实现连续的BITC。本文着重于BITC的管理过程以及如何逐步执行它。提出了一种将企业架构（EA）方法与协同进化分析相结合的协同进化框架，该框架包含了EA的设计，对不对准的感知和治理以及对EA不对准的预防过程。特别讨论了治理和防止未对准的步骤。通过与文献中协同进化的原理，特征和方法进行比较，对提出的框架进行了评估。结果表明，所提出的框架对于BITC实施是有效的。对不对中的感知和治理以及EA不对中的预防程序。特别讨论了治理和防止未对准的步骤。通过与文献中协同进化的原理，特征和方法进行比较，对提出的框架进行了评估。结果表明，所提出的框架对于BITC实施是有效的。对不对中的感知和治理以及EA不对中的预防程序。特别讨论了治理和防止未对准的步骤。通过与文献中协同进化的原理，特征和方法进行比较，对提出的框架进行了评估。结果表明，所提出的框架对于BITC实施是有效的。
