TOGAF

TOGAF = The Open Group Architecture Framework

What kind of architecture does TOGAF deal with?
– Business Architecture - this defines the business strategy, governance, organization, and key business processes
– Data Architecture - this describes the structure of an organization's logical and physical data assets and data management resources
– Applications Architecture - this provides a blueprint for the individual application systems to be deployed, their interactions, and their relationships to the core business processes of the organization
– Technology Architecture - this describes the logical software and hardware capabilities that are required to support the deployment of business, data, and application services

What it is

(TOGAF)
• Generic
• Process Driven
• “One size fits all organizations”
• Flexible
• Set of Conceptual Tools
• Providing generic deliverables

(ADM)
• A step-by-step approach to developing an enterprise architecture
• Method - a way, technique, or process of or for doing something
• Process - a series of actions or operations towards an “end”

What it is Not

(TOGAF)
• Prescriptive and HOW to Customize the Framework
• Prescriptive and Artifact driven
• Specific to company size or to an industry
• Ontology Driven
• Tool
• Prescribing a specific set of deliverables
(ADM)

• The whole TOGAF
• Framework
• Chair in an ivory tower
• Quick & easy

Architecture Development Method

Enterprise Continuum
A virtual repository of all architecture assets
– Models, patterns, architecture descriptions
– Deliverables produced in this iteration of the ADM
– Deliverables produced in other iterations of the ADM
– Assets from the industry at large

• TOGAF provides two reference models for possible inclusion in an organization’s Enterprise Continuum
– The TOGAF Foundation Architecture
– The Integrated Information Infrastructure Reference Model

Resource Base

A set of resources, guidelines, templates, background information etc..
• For reference during application of the ADM
• Covers a broad range of topics used to develop an architectur
