Info Spec Partners with EA Globals to provide TOGAF™ 9
Certification training & Consultancy services.
The Open Group® Architecture Framework (TOGAF™) provides an industry best
practice architecture framework for the implementation of Enterprise
Architecture.
The framework is comprised of the Architecture Development Method, the
Enterprise Continuum and the TOGAF™ Resource Base. These three components form
the method, structure and contents of the framework.
Our four day tailored course is designed to provide both a comprehensive look
at Enterprise Architecture and TOGAF™ as well using specific client material
that is familiar to the students.
The objective of the course is to enable students to be able to implement,
understand and manage the Enterprise Architecture for their organisation as well
as providing the benefit of certifying the student as a Certified TOGAF™
Practitioner.
- Module 1: Introduction to TOGAF™
Introduction to TOGAF™ provides students with an introduction to The
Open Group® Architecture Framework (TOGAF™).
The course begins with a discussion of enterprise architecture, what it
is, and the business value it brings to an organisation.
Students then discuss common architecture frameworks – their
similarities and differences – including TOGAF™, MDA, Zachman, and DODAF.
The course continues with an overview of the Architecture Development
Method (ADM) – the process described in TOGAF™ for building, managing,
and evolving enterprise architecture.
Then the TOGAF™ Enterprise Continuum is reviewed including the
Technical Reference Model (TRM) and Standards Information Base (SIB).
Students review key elements of the TOGAF™ Resource Base including
architecture governance, architecture views, and building blocks.
The module concludes with discussions on how traceability and modeling
relate to enterprise architecture.
This module is designed to last 1 day and is broken down in Sessions 1
and 2 in the schedule.
- Module 2: TOGAF™ ADM Fundamentals
TOGAF™ ADM Fundamentals provides students with a case study based
experience with the Architecture Development (ADM) – a component of The
Open Group® Architecture Framework (TOGAF™).
The course begins with an overview of the structure of ADM and its
relationship to the Enterprise Continuum and Resource Base.
The course discusses key architecture stakeholders and how to adapt the
ADM to an organisation.
Students will discuss the foundation of sustainable enterprise
architecture – requirements management and traceability.
The course then describes how to capture a vision for the architecture
and assess organisational readiness.
Then the approach to evolving baseline and target architectures for the
business, data, application, and technology domains is discussed along with
gap and impact analysis.
Then the module reviews effective migration strategies, piloting new
implementations, governing architecture compliance and change management.
This module is designed to last 2 days and is broken down in Sessions 3,
4, 5 and 6 in the schedule.
- Module 3: TOGAF™ Asset and Resource Overview
TOGAF™ Asset and Resource Overview provides students with a case study
based experience of the TOGAF™ Enterprise Continuum and TOGAF™ Resource
Base.
Beginning with an overview of the key component of the Enterprise
Continuum – the Architecture Continuum, Solutions Continuum, and
Foundation Architecture – the course then discusses the Technical
Reference Model (TRM) and its application and platform taxonomies.
Students are then introduced to the Standards Information Base (SIB).
The course explains how the Integrated Information Infrastructure
Reference Model (III-RM) enables enterprise interoperability via
Boundaryless Information Flow™.
Key elements of the TOGAF™ Resource Base are discussed such as
architecture maturity/skills/principles, business scenarios, and case
studies.
Then students focus on describing architecture views using various
frameworks.
The module concludes with a discussion of architecture and solution
building blocks and critical success factors for tool adoption.
This module is designed to last 1 day and is be broken down in Sessions 7
and 8 in the schedule.
- TOGAF™ Certification Course Schedule
The course schedule is based around providing the Open Group’s required
schedule for TOGAF™ certification as well as the exercises that will help
students to be able to implement the framework successfully within their
enterprises.
The four day schedule is broken up into three modules that are described
above. These modules in turn are broken up into sessions. Each session lasts
approximately 4 hours.
The schedule is broken down as follows:
Day 1, Morning
Day 1, Afternoon
