How to Use this Study Guide
The chapters in this Study Guide are arranged to cover the TOGAF Business Architecture Level
1 Syllabus (see Appendix F) and should be read in order. Where a topic requires further
information from a later part in the syllabus, a cross-reference is provided.
Within each chapter are “Key Learning Points” and “Summary” sections that help you to easily
identify what you need to know for each topic.
Throughout this Study Guide the examples used are drawn from the recruitment management
and the retail business use-cases included in the TOGAF Series Guides to Business Capabilities,
Business Models, and Value Streams (see References).
Each chapter has a “Test Yourself” questions section that will help you to test your
understanding of the chapter and prepare for the TOGAF Business Architecture Examination.
The purpose of this is to reinforce Key Learning Points in the chapter. These are multiple-choice
format questions where you must identify one correct answer.
Some chapters include an “Exercises” section that will help you reinforce the Learning
Outcomes for that chapter.
Each chapter also has a “Recommended Reading” section that indicates the relevant sections in
the TOGAF documentation that can be read to obtain a further understanding of the subject
material.
Finally, at the end of this Study Guide is a “Test Yourself” examination paper that you can use
to test your readiness to take the official TOGAF Business Architecture Examination. This paper
is designed to include the same question formats and a similar difficulty level to the official
TOGAF Business Architecture Part 1 Examination.

Chapter 2 Basic Concepts
2.1 Key Learning Points
This chapter provides valuable background information and is not examinable. The objectives
of this chapter are as follows:
 To provide an introduction to the basic concepts of Enterprise Architecture and the
TOGAF framework, including providing a high-level view of the TOGAF standard,
Enterprise Architecture, the TOGAF ADM, and the contents of the TOGAF framework
including the TOGAF Library
Key Points Explained
This chapter will help you to answer the following questions:
 What is Enterprise Architecture?
 Why do I need Enterprise Architecture? What are the business benefits?
 What is the TOGAF standard?
 How is the TOGAF documentation structured? What are the TOGAF Series Guides?
 What is the TOGAF ADM?
 How can the TOGAF framework be used with other frameworks?
2.2 What is Enterprise Architecture?
There are many definitions of Enterprise Architecture. Most focus on structure and organization.
Two definitions are given below:
Enterprise Architecture is:
1. The organizing logic for business processes and IT infrastructure reflecting the integration
and standardization requirements of the firm’s operating model.
[Source: MIT Center for Information Systems Research]
2. A conceptual blueprint that defines the structure and operation of an organization. The
intent of an Enterprise Architecture is to determine how an organization can most
effectively achieve its current and future objectives.

2.3 Why do I Need Enterprise Architecture?
The purpose of Enterprise Architecture is to optimize across the enterprise the often fragmented
legacy of processes (both manual and automated) into an integrated environment that is
responsive to change and supportive of the delivery of the business strategy. Effective
management and exploitation of information and Digital Transformation are key factors to
business success, and an indispensable means to achieving competitive advantage. An Enterprise
Architecture addresses these drivers by providing a strategic context for the evolution and reach
of digital capability in response to the constantly changing needs of the business environment.
For example, the rapid development of social media, Internet of Things (IoT), virtualization, and
cloud computing has radically extended the capacity of the enterprise to create new market
opportunities.
The advantages that result from a good Enterprise Architecture can bring important business
benefits, including:
 More effective and efficient business operations:
— Lower business operation costs
— More agile organization
— Business capabilities shared across the organization
— Lower change management costs
— More flexible workforce
— Improved business productivity
 More effective and efficient Digital Transformation and IT operations:
— Extending the effective reach of the enterprise through digital capability
— Bringing all components of the enterprise into a harmonized environment
— Lower software development, support, and maintenance costs
— Increased portability of applications
— Improved interoperability and easier system and network management
— Improved ability to address critical enterprise-wide issues, such as security
— Easier upgrade and exchange of system components
 Better return on existing investment, reduced risk for future investment:
— Reduced complexity in the business and IT
— Maximum return on investment in existing business and IT infrastructure
— The flexibility to make, buy, or out-source business and IT solutions
— Reduced risk overall in new investments and their costs of ownership

8 Study Guide (2019)
 Faster, simpler, and cheaper procurement:
— Simpler buying decisions, because the information governing procurement is readily
available in a coherent plan
— Faster procurement process, maximizing procurement speed and flexibility without
sacrificing architectural coherence
— The ability to procure heterogeneous, multi-vendor open systems
— The ability to secure more economic capabilities
Ultimately, the benefits of Enterprise Architecture derive from the better planning, earlier
visibility, and more informed designs that result when it is introduced.

2.4 What is the TOGAF Standard?
The TOGAF standard is an architecture framework providing the methods and tools for assisting
in the production, acceptance, use, and maintenance of Enterprise Architectures. It is based on an
iterative process model supported by best practices and a re-usable set of existing architectural
assets.
The TOGAF standard is developed and maintained by The Open Group Architecture Forum.
The first version of the TOGAF standard, developed in 1995, was based on the US Department
of Defense Technical Architecture Framework for Information Management (TAFIM). Starting
from this sound foundation, The Open Group Architecture Forum has developed successive
versions of the TOGAF standard at regular intervals and published each one on The Open Group
public website.
The TOGAF standard can be used for developing a broad range of different Enterprise
Architectures. It complements, and can be used in conjunction with, other frameworks that are
more focused on specific deliverables for particular vertical sectors such as Government,
Telecommunications, Manufacturing, Defense, and Finance. A key part of the TOGAF standard
is the method – the TOGAF Architecture Development Method (ADM) – for developing an
Enterprise Architecture that addresses business needs.
2.4.1 Structure of the TOGAF Documentation
The TOGAF documentation consists of the TOGAF standard, and a portfolio of guidance
material, known as the TOGAF Library, to support the practical application of the standard. The
TOGAF standard is at the heart of the TOGAF Library, as shown in Figure 1.

2.5 An Introduction to the TOGAF ADM
The TOGAF Architecture Development Method (ADM) forms the core of the TOGAF standard
and is a method for deriving organization-specific Enterprise Architecture. It is the result of
contributions from many architecture practitioners.
The ADM provides a tested and repeatable process for developing architectures. The ADM
includes establishing an architecture framework, developing architecture content, transitioning,
and governing the realization of architectures. All of these activities are carried out within an
© 2019 The Open Group, All Rights Reserved
Personal PDF Edition. Not for redistribution
Sam
ple
12 Study Guide (2019)
iterative cycle of continuous architecture definition and realization that allows organizations to
transform their enterprises in a controlled manner in response to business goals and
opportunities.
The ADM is described as a number of phases within a process of change illustrated by an ADM
cycle graphic (see Figure 2).
Figure 2: The TOGAF ADM
The Preliminary Phase describes the preparation and initiation activities required to create an
Architecture Capability, including the customization of the TOGAF framework, and the
definition of Architecture Principles.
Phase A: Architecture Vision describes the initial phase of an Architecture Development
Cycle. It includes information about defining the scope, identifying the stakeholders, creating the
Architecture Vision, and obtaining approvals.
Phase B: Business Architecture describes the development of a Business Architecture to
support an agreed Architecture Vision.

TOGAF®
Business Architecture Study Guide, 1st

Phase C: Information Systems Architectures describes the development of Information
Systems Architectures for an architecture project, including the development of Data and
Application Architectures.
Phase D: Technology Architecture describes the development of the Technology Architecture
for an architecture project.
Phase E: Opportunities and Solutions describes the process of identifying major
implementation projects and grouping them into work packages that deliver the Target
Architecture defined in the previous phases.
Phase F: Migration Planning describes the development of a detailed Implementation and
Migration Plan that addresses how to move from the Baseline to the Target Architecture.
Phase G: Implementation Governance describes architectural oversight of the implementation.
Phase H: Architecture Change Management describes procedures for managing change to the
new architecture.
Requirements Management describes the process of managing architecture requirements
throughout the ADM.
2.6 Using the TOGAF Framework with Other Frameworks
Two of the key elements of any Enterprise Architecture framework are a definition of the
deliverables that the architecting activity should produce, together with a description of the
method for production.
Many Enterprise Architecture frameworks focus on the first of these – the specific set of
deliverables – and are relatively silent about the methods to be used to generate them.
Because the TOGAF standard is a generic framework and intended to be used in a wide variety
of environments, it provides a flexible and extensible content framework that underpins a set of
generic architecture deliverables. As a result, the TOGAF framework may be used either in its
own right, with the generic deliverables that it describes; or these deliverables may be replaced
or extended by a more specific set, defined in any other framework that the architect considers
relevant.
In all cases, it is expected that the architect will adapt and build on the TOGAF framework in
order to define a tailored method that is integrated into the processes and organization structures
of the enterprise. This architecture tailoring may include adopting elements from other
architecture frameworks, or integrating TOGAF methods with other standard frameworks, such
as ITIL®
, CMMI®
, COBIT®
, PRINCE2®
, PMBOK®
, and MSP®
. It may also include adopting
elements from reference materials in the TOGAF Library, such as the IT4IT™ Reference
Architecture.
As a generic framework and method for Enterprise Architecture, the TOGAF standard also
complements other frameworks that are aimed at specific vertical business domains, specific
horizontal technology areas (such as security or manageability), or specific application areas
(such as e-commerce).

2.7 Summary
This chapter has introduced the basic concepts of Enterprise Architecture and the TOGAF
standard.
The TOGAF standard is an architecture framework. It enables you to design, evaluate, and build
the right architecture for your organization. An architecture framework can be considered a
“toolkit” that can be used for developing a broad range of different architectures. The value of a
framework is that it provides a practical starting point for an architecture project. The TOGAF
framework is designed to be adapted and used with other frameworks, when appropriate.
The TOGAF Library is a reference library containing guidelines, templates, patterns, and other
forms of reference material to accelerate the creation of new architectures for the enterprise.

  • 10. x Study Guide (2019) How to Use this Study Guide The chapters in this Study Guide are arranged to cover the TOGAF Business Architecture Level 1 Syllabus (see Appendix F) and should be read in order. Where a topic requires further information from a later part in the syllabus, a cross-reference is provided. Within each chapter are “Key Learning Points” and “Summary” sections that help you to easily identify what you need to know for each topic. Throughout this Study Guide the examples used are drawn from the recruitment management and the retail business use-cases included in the TOGAF Series Guides to Business Capabilities, Business Models, and Value Streams (see References). Each chapter has a “Test Yourself” questions section that will help you to test your understanding of the chapter and prepare for the TOGAF Business Architecture Examination. The purpose of this is to reinforce Key Learning Points in the chapter. These are multiple-choice format questions where you must identify one correct answer. Some chapters include an “Exercises” section that will help you reinforce the Learning Outcomes for that chapter. Each chapter also has a “Recommended Reading” section that indicates the relevant sections in the TOGAF documentation that can be read to obtain a further understanding of the subject material. Finally, at the end of this Study Guide is a “Test Yourself” examination paper that you can use to test your readiness to take the official TOGAF Business Architecture Examination. This paper is designed to include the same question formats and a similar difficulty level to the official TOGAF Business Architecture Part 1 Examination.

There are many definitions of Enterprise Architecture. Most focus on structure and organization. Two definitions are given below: Enterprise Architecture is: 1. The organizing logic for business processes and IT infrastructure reflecting the integration and standardization requirements of the firm’s operating model. [Source: MIT Center for Information Systems Research] 2. A conceptual blueprint that defines the structure and operation of an organization. The intent of an Enterprise Architecture is to determine how an organization can most effectively achieve its current and future objectives.

  • 25. TOGAF® Business Architecture Study Guide, 1st Edition 7 2.3 Why do I Need Enterprise Architecture? The purpose of Enterprise Architecture is to optimize across the enterprise the often fragmented legacy of processes (both manual and automated) into an integrated environment that is responsive to change and supportive of the delivery of the business strategy. Effective management and exploitation of information and Digital Transformation are key factors to business success, and an indispensable means to achieving competitive advantage. An Enterprise Architecture addresses these drivers by providing a strategic context for the evolution and reach of digital capability in response to the constantly changing needs of the business environment. For example, the rapid development of social media, Internet of Things (IoT), virtualization, and cloud computing has radically extended the capacity of the enterprise to create new market opportunities. The advantages that result from a good Enterprise Architecture can bring important business benefits, including:  More effective and efficient business operations: — Lower business operation costs — More agile organization — Business capabilities shared across the organization — Lower change management costs — More flexible workforce — Improved business productivity  More effective and efficient Digital Transformation and IT operations: — Extending the effective reach of the enterprise through digital capability — Bringing all components of the enterprise into a harmonized environment — Lower software development, support, and maintenance costs — Increased portability of applications — Improved interoperability and easier system and network management — Improved ability to address critical enterprise-wide issues, such as security — Easier upgrade and exchange of system components  Better return on existing investment, reduced risk for future investment: — Reduced complexity in the business and IT — Maximum return on investment in existing business and IT infrastructure — The flexibility to make, buy, or out-source business and IT solutions — Reduced risk overall in new investments and their costs of ownership © 2019 The Open Group, All Rights Reserved Personal PDF Edition.

[Source: The Open Group White Paper: Why Does Enterprise Architecture Matter?] 2.4 What is the TOGAF Standard? The TOGAF standard is an architecture framework providing the methods and tools for assisting in the production, acceptance, use, and maintenance of Enterprise Architectures. It is based on an iterative process model supported by best practices and a re-usable set of existing architectural assets. The TOGAF standard is developed and maintained by The Open Group Architecture Forum. The first version of the TOGAF standard, developed in 1995, was based on the US Department of Defense Technical Architecture Framework for Information Management (TAFIM). Starting from this sound foundation, The Open Group Architecture Forum has developed successive versions of the TOGAF standard at regular intervals and published each one on The Open Group public website. The TOGAF standard can be used for developing a broad range of different Enterprise Architectures. It complements, and can be used in conjunction with, other frameworks that are more focused on specific deliverables for particular vertical sectors such as Government, Telecommunications, Manufacturing, Defense, and Finance. A key part of the TOGAF standard is the method – the TOGAF Architecture Development Method (ADM) – for developing an Enterprise Architecture that addresses business needs. 2.4.1 Structure of the TOGAF Documentation The TOGAF documentation consists of the TOGAF standard, and a portfolio of guidance material, known as the TOGAF Library, to support the practical application of the standard. The TOGAF standard is at the heart of the TOGAF Library, as shown in Figure 1. © 2019 The Open Group, All Rights Reserved Personal PDF Edition. Not for redistribution Sam ple

Phase G: Implementation Governance describes architectural oversight of the implementation. Phase H: Architecture Change Management describes procedures for managing change to the new architecture. Requirements Management describes the process of managing architecture requirements throughout the ADM. 2.6 Using the TOGAF Framework with Other Frameworks Two of the key elements of any Enterprise Architecture framework are a definition of the deliverables that the architecting activity should produce, together with a description of the method for production. Many Enterprise Architecture frameworks focus on the first of these – the specific set of deliverables – and are relatively silent about the methods to be used to generate them. Because the TOGAF standard is a generic framework and intended to be used in a wide variety of environments, it provides a flexible and extensible content framework that underpins a set of generic architecture deliverables. As a result, the TOGAF framework may be used either in its own right, with the generic deliverables that it describes; or these deliverables may be replaced or extended by a more specific set, defined in any other framework that the architect considers relevant. In all cases, it is expected that the architect will adapt and build on the TOGAF framework in order to define a tailored method that is integrated into the processes and organization structures of the enterprise. This architecture tailoring may include adopting elements from other architecture frameworks, or integrating TOGAF methods with other standard frameworks, such as ITIL® , CMMI® , COBIT® , PRINCE2® , PMBOK® , and MSP® . It may also include adopting elements from reference materials in the TOGAF Library, such as the IT4IT™ Reference Architecture. As a generic framework and method for Enterprise Architecture, the TOGAF standard also complements other frameworks that are aimed at specific vertical business domains, specific horizontal technology areas (such as security or manageability), or specific application areas (such as e-commerce). © 2019 The Open Group, All Rights Reserved Personal PDF Edition.

  • 32. 14 Study Guide (2019) 2.7 Summary This chapter has introduced the basic concepts of Enterprise Architecture and the TOGAF standard. The TOGAF standard is an architecture framework. It enables you to design, evaluate, and build the right architecture for your organization. An architecture framework can be considered a “toolkit” that can be used for developing a broad range of different architectures. The value of a framework is that it provides a practical starting point for an architecture project. The TOGAF framework is designed to be adapted and used with other frameworks, when appropriate. The TOGAF Library is a reference library containing guidelines, templates, patterns, and other forms of reference material to accelerate the creation of new architectures for the enterprise. 2.8 Test Yourself Questions There are no questions for this chapter as this topic is not examinable. 2.9 Recommended Reading The following are recommended sources of further information for this chapter:  The Open Group White Paper: Why Does Enterprise Architecture Matter?  The TOGAF Standard, Version 9.2, Part I: Introduction: Introduction and Core Concepts © 2019 The Open Group, All Rights Reserved Personal PDF Edition.
