What is TOGAF ? TOGAF, an Open Group Standard: A proven enterprise architecture methodology and frameworkused by the world's leading organizations to improve businessefficiency The most prominent and reliable enterprise architecturestandard, ensuring consistent standards, methods, andcommunication among enterprise architecture professionals Enterprise architecture professionals fluent in TOGAFstandards enjoy greater industry credibility, job effectiveness,and career opportunities TOGAF helps practitioners avoid being locked into proprietarymethods, utilize resources more efficiently and effectively, andrealize a greater return on investmentCopyright The Open Group 2011

The Origins of TOGAF A customer initiative A framework, not an architecture A generic framework for developingarchitectures to meet different businessneeds Not a “one-size-fits-all” architecture Originally based on TAFIM (U.S. DoD)Copyright The Open Group 2011

Member (End User) Driven Customer members demand architecture standards Customer members select TAFIM as preferred starting point DoD Information Systems Agency (DISA) donate TAFIM as base TOGAF first published‘93‘94‘96‘01 TOGAF 7 – Technical Edition‘02 ‘03‘06‘09TOGAF 9 EnterpriseEdition‘11TOGAF 9.1TOGAF 8.1.1 The Interoperable EnterpriseBusiness Scenariofirst publishedCopyright The Open Group 2011TOGAF 8 – Enterprise EditionFirst TOGAF CertificationProgram Launched

TOGAF 9 Market Drivers Ongoing quest for Boundaryless Information Flow In a survey of members, the three most prominent views: The need for closer alignment with the business The desire for simple implementation, greater usability The next version of TOGAF should be an evolution ratherthan a revolution Consideration for different architectural styles, e.g. SOA Security is an increasing concern for CIOs and EnterpriseArchitects due to disappearance of traditional boundaries Need for greater detail on Architecture Development Method(ADM)9Copyright The Open Group 2011

Introducing TOGAF 9 Developed, reviewed and approved by a collaborative of 300members from some of the world’s leading IT customers andvendors An evolution from TOGAF 8.1.1 that preserves existinginvestments The core Architecture Development Method Existing investment in people - knowledge and skills Existing investment in tools Expanded detail and clarification of existing proof pointsRestructured for better usabilityMore focused on holistic enterprise changeClear links between business and IT objectsIncreased consistency of output10Copyright The Open Group 2011

TOGAF 9.1 TOGAF 9.1 was released in December 2011 It is the first maintenance update to TOGAF 9 It is an upwards-compatible evolution from TOGAF9, addressing usage feedback and commentsraised It addresses over 400 comments received Contains over 450 changes TOGAF 9 Technical Corrigendum 1 (DocumentU112) is available describing each change in detailCopyright The Open Group 2011

TOGAF 9 ComponentsCopyright The Open Group 2011

The Architecture Development Method The core of TOGAF A proven way of developingan architecture Specifically designed toaddress businessrequirements An iterative method A set of architecture views toensure that a complex set ofrequirements are adequatelyaddressedCopyright The Open Group 2011

ADM – Basic PrinciplesAn iterative method, over the wholeprocess, between phases and withinphasesEach iteration new decisions:Enterprise coverageLevel of detailTime horizonArchitecture asset re-use:previous ADM iterationsother frameworks, systemmodels, industry models, Decisions based on:Competence / resource availabilityValue accruing to the enterprise.Copyright The Open Group 2011

ADM Phase Steps ExampleCopyright The Open Group 2011

ADM Guidelines and Techniques A set of guidelines and techniques to support theapplication of the ADM The guidelines help to adapt the ADM to deal withdifferent scenarios, including different processstyles (e.g. the use of iteration) and also specificrequirements (e.g. security). The techniques support specific tasks within theADM (e.g. defining principles, business scenarios,gap analysis, migration planning, risk management,etc).Copyright The Open Group 2011
