How are enterprise architecture functions allocating / tracking the time of their architects? Please share the framework you are using (e.g. Plan Build Run) along with what you are typically seeing.

Our Architects track time using our project timesheet tracker. This is currently Project Online (Microsoft). CIO in IT Services8 months ago
In my view, EA should be largely allocating their time to Plan. I would say 70% plan 20% build 10% run with the build and run work being more governance related. Solution Architecture would probably be 20% plan 70% build 10% run as general guidance. The organizations I have been involved with that tracked EA time did so in the project management tool. But I have not seen that really be effective anywhere.

We have a job system (project codes and process codes) that engages the architects mainly on their process "enterprise architecture" and every project in the portfolio has an architect assignment 20% during the lifecycle of the project to provide support and compliance.The percentages fluctuate with the portfolio mix of stages. As Michael Fulton wrote, at times it is 70% plan and advise and 20% build and then run, but a major technical project might have 80% of the time focused on the complex build, supporting the development teams.
