management."
I agree with the first part - architecture/management. I also agree with Steve Jones in "if you are aligning to the business goal then this means that you are delivering against that goal, which means you are managing towards that goal" which means to me that you are managing to construct such architecture that is 'delivering against that goal'. Management of the architecture implementation is a noble but another (and unrelated to the subject) task.
That is, we are discussing a statement like this: "if one wants to agile IT to the enterprise business, the first step is in aligning enterprise architecture to real business goals". Since IT exists so far because the business manages to pay for it, the enterprise business management has all to do with what architecture IT provides.
In these days, I see that SOA is viewed as a methodology to in-line IT architecture with business goals BECAUSE it has got OUT of this line, as found recently.

If this is truly the case then the acronym should be changed.
Architecture is not management, and "aligning IT to the business" has
nothing to do with architecture and everything to do with business
management.
