TOGAF 9.1 Fundamentals 

TOGAF Fundamentals - Enterprise Architecture Basics

start the course

define the purpose of Enterprise Architecture

define what is a framework and it's usage in architecture

describe who is The Open Group and the multiples components in TOGAF

define the multiple Architecture domains that TOGAF discusses (Business, Data/Information, Application, and Technology)

define the 10 phases used in architecture

development

define Deliverables, Artifacts, and Building Blocks

describe how generalized solutions can be used to provide more specialized solutions

define how Enterprise architecture is a business capability itself and why it should be treated that way (i.e. like other business units)

describe the activities involved in setting up a new enterprise architecture

develop the vision of the business value to be

developed by enterprise architecture including getting the appropriate approvals

develop the business architecture describing the enterprise and its target business operations required to meet business goals

develop the Data/Information and Application architectures describing the targets required to support the business architecture and targets

develop the technological architecture describing the target technology required to support the Business and Information Systems architectures

describe how to

develop a road map to move the business from where they are today to the target state, potentially involving transitional architectures

describe how to implement the changes required by the roadmap while effectively communicating the changes and reasons for them

describe how to obtain the desired business value from implementing the required changes and how to ensure that these changes are being implemented according to the design

describe how to maintain the architecture lifecycle in order to insure the architecture's capability is meeting the business requirements

describe how Management Requirements are needed and well-managed for each phase of the architectural lifecycle in order for the dependent architectures to be meaningful and accurate

use iteration in order to

develop architectures across the enterprise at different levels

identify security implications that are in involved across the Architecture

development Method

describe the Services Oriented Architectural style and how it aligns the Architecture

development Method

describe architectural principles and apply them to the Architecture

development Method

describe how to manage stakeholders and their viewpoints throughout the application of the Architecture

development Method

identify patterns and align them with the Architecture

development Method

describe how to acquiring business requirements primarily through the vision and business architecture phases

answer questions based on case study

TOGAF Fundamentals - Content Framework and Capability Basics

start the course

development Method

describe how interoperability requirements are gathered and utilized throughout the Architecture

development Method

identify the factors that determine readiness and align them with the migration planning of the Architecture

development Method

describe how to management risk as applied to an architecture project

describe the capability-based planning technique and align it with the Architecture

development Method

describe how a content framework can help with organizing all of the various architectural outputs

describe the high-level formal structure used to organize architectural outputs

describe concepts around architectural artifacts and understand that certain phases will produce certain artifacts

describe some of the deliverables (architectural artifacts) that are produced by the Architecture

development Method

describe building blocks and how this applies to the Architecture

development Method

describe the enterprise continuum and its uses around communication and specification

describe the partitioning and its uses around the enterprise continuum

describe the repository and its contents

describe how tools can assist with documenting the architectural documentation

describe the Technical Reference Model

describe the concepts of the Integrated Information Infrastructure Reference Model

describe at a high-level the Architecture Capability Framework

describe how to establish and maintain an Architectural Capability

describe how to establish and maintain an Architecture Board

describe how to establish and maintain project compliance with architectural decisions

describe how to establish and maintain agreements between stakeholders on the architectural outputs and use

identify the governance framework and how it applies to enterprise architecture

identify the maturity models around architecture

identify the skills and roles required for working with the enterprise architecture suggest how TOGAF would help
