Enterprise Architecture Practitioner with the TOGAF Standard

Define the purpose of enterprise architecture as a guide for effective change that improves the enterprise by mapping current and future states, gaps to close, and governance of change.

Explore how the enterprise architecture landscape reveals gaps between current and target states through models, with three architecture levels—strategic, segment, and capability—and the architecture continuum for abstraction.

Explore architecture states from baseline (current state) to target architecture, with candidate and transition architectures, including resting architecture, guided by the TOGAF standard roadmaps and an EA repository.

Explore how the TOGAF 10 standard guides the four contexts of a digital enterprise—from individual founder to enduring enterprise—covering digital value, infrastructure, agile delivery, governance, and portfolio management.

Explore how the preliminary phase builds the enterprise architecture capability with governance, principles, and tailored TOGAF frameworks to guide architecture work.

Define the architecture vision and establish an architecture project, identifying stakeholders, scope, goals, drivers, and constraints, and secure approval for the statement of architecture work.

Develop phase B business architecture using the GAAP approach to establish baseline and target architectures and perform gap analysis. Align capabilities, value streams, and information maps to the architecture vision.

Explore phase c information systems architecture in togaf 10 standard, developing target data and application architectures, using data and application principles, models, and artifacts to support the architecture vision.

Explore phase d technology architecture by defining building blocks to support data and application architectures, using architecture repository, technology portfolio, platform diagrams, and environments diagrams to enable tech-driven change.

Identify delivery vehicles and consolidate gap analysis to create the architecture roadmap and implementation plan, determine transition architectures, and align projects with governance for delivering the target architecture.

Finalize phase f migration planning by detailing the implementation plan. Coordinate with business planning, enterprise architecture, project portfolio management, and operations management; assign business value to work packages for prioritization.

Phase G implements governance oversight to ensure deployment projects comply with the target architecture, using the architecture contract, governance framework, and compliance reviews.

Master phase h of the adm, guiding change decisions through architecture change management and change requests. Assess impact, decide to update architecture or start an adm cycle, and document changes.

Explore how the TOGAF ADM uses iterative cycles—from architecture development to transition planning—to build and govern an enterprise architecture, with engagement in the identification, definition, and implementation of change.

The business scenario technique in the TOGAF standard captures, analyzes, and documents business needs to derive architecture requirements, value streams, and outcomes through structured steps and SMART criteria.

Analyze gaps between baseline and target architectures across business, data, application, and technology domains using TOGAF metrics, and explain eliminated or new gaps to be addressed.

Learn the architecture trade-off method in togaf 10, balancing stakeholder preferences and value to compare alternatives and guide enterprise architecture decisions.

Explore migration planning techniques in TOGAF 10, including the implementation factor catalog, consolidated gaps and dependency matrix, architecture definition increments table, transition architecture state evolution table, and business value assessment.

Identify, assess, and mitigate transformation risks using TOGAF and Sabsa concepts, including risk triggers, asset protection, access control, and residual risk within a defined risk appetite.

Explore the Open Group TOGAF library and its Autograph and Hogarth resources to access guidelines, templates, patterns, and reference materials for enterprise architectures.

Communicate with stakeholders by applying the TOGAF standard to architecture and implementation projects, map concerns with a stakeholder map, and use views and viewpoints to address priorities and trade-offs.

Describe architecture views that communicate the current and future enterprise architecture to stakeholders, selecting viewpoints from the library and generating views that support iterative development.

Explore the architecture repository and its components, including landscape, reference and standards libraries, governance, requirements, and the resolution landscape. See how TOGAF frames these artifacts for enterprise architecture management.

Identify architecture building blocks (ABS) that relate planned architecture to an implemented solution, guided by the ADM, and map ABS to business entities, policies, and interfaces within the enterprise continuum.

Capture the enterprise meta model to define entities and relationships for architecture descriptions. Leverage the TOGAF starter metamodel, model in Archimate or UML, and ensure consistency, completeness, and traceability.

Develop and sustain the enterprise architecture capability (EA capability) by guiding strategy, portfolio, projects, and solution delivery through TOGAF-aligned target architectures, roadmaps, and governance.

Architecture governance guides the creation and maintenance of enterprise architectures and directs change through the target architecture. It defines roles for stakeholders, practitioners and implementers and applies governance tests.

Explore architecture compliance within the TOGAF 10 standard, detailing six conformance levels and how architecture governance conducts reviews to ensure implemented projects align with enterprise architecture, through repositories and assessments.

Architecture contracts define the scope, context, conformance, and responsibilities between sponsors and implementers across ADM phases, detailing the statement of architectural work, design and development contracts, and business stakeholders contracts.

Explore how TOGAF's security additions drive integrated, cross-domain enterprise security architecture that aligns risk management, information security, and business objectives across business, data, application, and technology domains.

Define enterprise security architecture in phase a of the architecture development method by aligning the target architecture with corporate policies and balancing risk for security and business stakeholders.

Explore ADM phase B to phase D in security architecture, including the security policy framework, risk assessment and risk register, trust framework, data quality, and the technology security view.

Learn how ADM phase E-F integrates risk and security, using the Security Service Catalogue for building blocks, risk mitigation plans, risk assessments, and security audits.

Master the TOGAF 10 exam with guidance on preparation, time management, question analysis, and answer selection, including eight-question practice in 90 minutes to identify ADM phases and key terms.
