Meet Scott Duffy as he introduces the TOGAF standard 9.2 Part 1 foundation exam prep, licensed to teach by the Open Group and focused on passing the exam.
Explore the TOGAF standard as an architecture framework and learn how the architecture development method, governance, and a standard metamodel govern the design, components, relationships, and evolution of enterprise architecture.
Explore how TOGAF 10th edition exists, but certification isn't available yet; continue with the 9.2 path, via a bridge, as the standard evolves to address agile methodologies and cloud readiness.
Explore how to use the Udemy video player: adjust speed with the bottom-left control, enable captions and language options, view transcripts, and leave reviews via the course Q&A.
Explore the TOGAF 9.2 standard and its six parts, including the ADM core, guidelines, content framework, enterprise continuum, and capability framework, plus the TOGAF library reference.
Explore the seven core TOGAF 9 standard concepts, including the definition of enterprise, BDAT architecture domains, ADM, deliverables, artifacts, building blocks, enterprise continuum, architectural repository, and architecture capability.
Define enterprise as the top level of an organization, including a single organization or closely connected partners, and use enterprise architecture to scope what’s in or out.
Explore artifacts, deliverables, and building blocks in TOGAF: how architecture content framework guides work products, with ABBs and SBBs enabling reuse through concrete examples like customer lookup.
Explore how the architecture repository centralizes all architectural outputs under TOGAF 9.2, organizing architecture metamodel, architecture landscape, standards information base, reference library, governance log, architecture requirements repository, and solutions landscape.
Architecture capability assesses enterprise architecture ability, sets a target in the preliminary phase with governance, and governs via a group, a repository, and an architecture contract guiding implementation.
Explore the TOGAF ADM cycle with eight phases labeled A through H in a ten-phase framework, including end-of-cycle pauses, a continuously running requirements management, and iteration and tailoring.
Define the enterprise architecture capability and governance in the preliminary phase, set architecture principles and scoping, tailor TOGAF, and produce outputs like the architecture work request and principles catalog.
Develop and finalize phase B business architecture in TOGAF ADM by defining baseline and target architectures, performing gap analysis, resolving impacts, and delivering a roadmap and artifacts.
Develop the target data architecture in Phase C, align with business requirements, perform gap analysis to yield roadmap items, and finalize version 1.0 with data artifacts.
Develop the target application architecture and candidate roadmap items by performing gap analysis on inputs from prior phases, resolving impacts, and conducting a formal stakeholder review to finalize architecture documents.
Develop the technology architecture by defining baseline and target architectures, performing gap analysis, incorporating inputs from business data, application, and product information, and delivering the architecture definition and roadmap.
Develop an architecture roadmap in phase e by consolidating BDATs, identifying transition architectures, and defining reusable solution building blocks to guide planning, migration, and governance.
Maintain architecture capability through governance and change management, validating value realization and updating baselines while handling change requests and ensuring ongoing compliance.
Explore the ADM guidelines and techniques, and apply TOGAF tools to navigate each ADM phase, with emphasis on gap analysis and migration planning.
Explore how the TOGAF ADM accommodates various architectural styles by adapting the content metamodel, documents, and artifacts. See how SOA fits within TOGAF with separate guidance from the Open Group.
Define architecture principles as enduring rules guiding ADM decisions, established in the preliminary phase and reaffirmed in the vision phase, exemplified by a data trustee for data quality.
Explore architecture patterns as the rules for when, why, and how to apply architecture building blocks, with examples like a call center pattern guiding requirements.
Compare the baseline and target architectures in TOGAF's ADM cycle to identify gaps and document additions, changes, and removals with clear reasons.
Explore migration planning within the adm guidelines, referencing toGAF 9.2 chapter 24, and learn the five techniques and matrices used in phase e and f.
Explore capability-based planning, a business-driven, outcomes-focused technique led by the business, uniting design, development, manufacturer partners, and the retail and sales channel to deliver customer value.
Unpack architecture governance as a system of controls that manages changes, ensures compliance through architecture contracts, and guides the architecture board under TOGAF 9.2 across ADM phases.
Celebrate finishing the TOGAF 9.2 standard and passing the part one exam. Schedule your exam within two weeks and review the standard, the definitions chapter, and phase outputs.

BRAND NEW COURSE LAUNCHED JUNE 2018. Verified up-to-date as of March 2021. Contains a timed practice test.
Over 28,000 students bought the TOGAF(R) 9.1 version of this course. This version has been completely redone and re-recorded, based on the latest changes to the standard.
If you look at the job listings, developers and architects with TOGAF experience are in high demand.
You can get certified as an enterprise architect with the TOGAF 9.2 certification exam (OG0-091), and this course will teach you what you need to know!
It takes training to become an Enterprise Architect. Much of that comes through on-the-job skills learned working on software projects larger-and-larger in scope. But there is a very specific way to design software at enterprise scale.
The Open Group has defined a standard for this method for almost 10 years now, and over 400 companies and government agencies have been involved in crafting that standard. It is called TOGAF - The Open Group Architecture Framework.
The truth is:
This course helps you become certified in the TOGAF 9.2 specification. Through learning the Architecture Development Method (ADM), you will become better at designing systems. If you already architect software for a living, learning an official enterprise architecture framework such as this takes you to the next level of your career.
You owe it to yourself:
If you are a software developer, this is your chance to learn the proper techniques for assessing the requirements of an enterprise, and designing the right solutions for today and tomorrow! While software development is skill any teenager can acquire, and the salaries paid to software developers fall or are frozen, it's those who know the complex skills of designing large software projects that will still be in high demand.
Specifically, this course will teach you:
The details of the TOGAF 9.2 Foundation exam (OG0-091), including how to book it, and my experiences taking the exam
The basic and core skills of the TOGAF framework
The Architecture Development Method (ADM), all of the phases, and the key information to know to pass the exam
Other topics covered on the exam, including Architecture Governance, Architecture Capacity, Enterprise Continuum, Capability Assessment, and reference frameworks such as TRM and III-RM
This course is focused on passing the exam. In-person classes for this same exam costs $2,000 and take 2 days of intensive training. This course aims to bridge the gap between that level of in-person training, and self-study.
If you've ever tried to read the TOGAF 9.2 specification or even the official study guides for the exam, you will perhaps agree that they are lengthy and hard to understand. The TOGAF 9.2 spec is 500 pages long. The official study guide is 265 pages. Both are written in that same style that many official specifications are written in - both very precise and extremely lengthy.
Watching these lectures, doing the quiz questions, and following up with a reading of the relevant section of the specification will your self-study time by hours, and will give you the confidence to take the exam and get certified at Part 1!
So join me:
Join over 28,000 students studying for the TOGAF 9 Part 1 certification test in one of my Udemy courses! Many have taken and passed the exam after taking this course! I am confident that this course will save you many, many hours of studying time compared with just reading the 500-page spec yourself. If you are in any way not satisfied, for any reason, you can get a full refund from Udemy within 30 days. No questions asked. But I am confident you won't need to. I stand behind this course 100% and am committed to helping you pass. You won't get that commitment from a book, or from any other TOGAF class on Udemy.
I am a TOGAF Certified architect, and a member of the Open Group's Architecture Forum - helping to define the standard going forward. I am using the TOGAF 9.2 specification under a commercial license.
