This document provides an overview of TOGAF 9 and enterprise architecture. It discusses the key components of TOGAF including the Architecture Development Method (ADM) and architecture domains. It describes how TOGAF is used to analyze gaps between baseline and target architectures and evaluate impacts of changes. It also summarizes the importance of capabilities, architecture descriptions, phases, repositories, stakeholders, and governance in enterprise architecture.
I used this presentation as an additional source to study for my TOGAF 9 exams. In the end I passed both y Level I and Level II exams. This might help you as well.
This is a very short introduction to The Open Group Architecture Framework -- a framework for enterprise architecture. It is meant to provide an executive summary of what TOGAF is and also provide a few reasons why you should use it.

TOGAF - a teaser for our traning courseLars Lundgren
Level 1
Provide validation that the Candidate has gained knowledge of the terminology, structure, and basic concepts of TOGAF 9.1, and understands the core principles of Enterprise Architecture and TOGAF.
Level 2
Provide validation that in addition to the knowledge and comprehension of Level 1, the Candidate is able to analyze and apply this knowledge. The learning objectives at this level focus on application and analysis, in addition to knowledge and comprehension.
This whitepaper considers the alignment of ITSM within a TOGAF aligned enterprise.
A key driver for having such an alignment is to remove the business execution silos that come to exist in an enterprise when implementing projects that fall under either ITIL 3 or TOGAF 9. At a high level, we propose to remove such silos by creating a mapping between the two frameworks as well as between ITSM and TOGAF 9. This should create a standard set of artifacts or standard interfaces between those artifacts so that an enterprise may have a common platform for both service management and enterprise architectures. Such commonality is best implemented at the initial requirements establishment phase of an initiative and so the necessary information sharing and processes should be in place at the outset.
Our recommendation is for this to happen within the wider TOGAF 9 context where ITIL 3 can be considered as an integral extension of enterprise architecture. This is achievable because there is a lot of synergy between ITSM’s ITIL 3 and the TOGAF 9 framework, especially since TOGAF 9 has shifted to a more service-orientated approach to Enterprise Architecture.
Nilotpal Das analyzes a case of TOGAF implementation and explains the basics of enterprise architecture, including the details of the framework and standards set by The Open Group. He discusses various aspects of implementing these principles – including governance, compliance, and capability assessments.

“The organizing logic for business processes and IT infrastructure reflecting the integration and standardization requirements of the firm’s operating model.” [1]
“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]
Practical Enterprise Architecture in Medium-size Corporation using TOGAFMichael Sukachev
Overview on the Practical Enterprise Architecture approach using TOGAF ADM for architectures development, Zachman Framework as artifacts repository and Sparx EA as a modelling tool.
Enterprise architecture (EA) can potentially promote a common business vision within your organization, provide guidance to improve both business and IT decision making, and improve IT efficiencies. Unfortunately many EA teams struggle to provide these benefits, often because they are perceived as ivory tower or being too difficult to work with.
The adoption of disciplined agile and lean strategies that are based on collaboration, enablement, and streamlining the flow of work are the keys to EA success. Disciplined strategies that produce light-weight, yet still sufficient, artifacts are the key to your success. This presentation explores both the success factors and failure factors surrounding EA, pragmatic strategies for a lean/agile approach to EA, and how EA is supported and enhanced by the Disciplined Agile framework. This isn’t your grandfather’s EA strategy.
Many organizations engage in initiatives to develop elaborate reference architectures, patterns and governance processes in an attempt to optimize their enterprise. They put significant effort into the upfront guidance of development teams, and then find themselves challenged to understand how closely an architecture matches the approved approach after the projects complete. Organizations must take a new approach to this problem!
This lecture helps to understand basics software design and especially Architecture Design and its importance. This lecture also describes the goals and importance of architecture design.

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

6. Gap analysis
• Which elements are new (organizations, applications,
infrastructures)?
• Which elements have been deleted?
• Which elements have been modified?
• Which elements remain unchanged?
7. Impact evaluation
• An enterprise is often a complex organization with multiple branches.
Consequently, the modification of one part of its architecture may
potentially affect other components situated outside the scope of the
implemented changes.
8. The concept of capability
• Capability designates the ability of an organization to provide a given
product or service. Capability manifests itself through a series of
factors that contribute to the realization of these products or services
at the required level of quality. These factors can vary widely in type:
for example,
• personnel training,
• availability of an expert in a field,
• surface area of premises,
• power of IT servers, and so on.
9. Capability
• “The ability of an organization, person, process, application, IT service
or other configuration item to carry out an activity.”
10. Architecture and description of architecture
1. “A formal description of a system, or a detailed plan of the system at
component level, to guide its implementation.”
2. “The structure of components, their inter-relationships, and the
principles and guidelines governing their design and evolution over
time.”
11. Domains and phases
• Business architecture, which covers strategy, goals, business processes,
functions, and organization.
• Data architecture, dedicated to the organization and management of
information.
• Application architecture, which presents applications, software
components, and their interactions.
• Technology architecture, which describes the techniques and components
deployed, as well as networks and the physical infrastructure upon which
the applications and data sources run.
13. Architecture repository
• Naturally, enterprises need to conserve, diffuse, and reuse the EA
information that constitutes one of their key assets.
• This is the role of the architecture repository, which includes
descriptions from each of the four domains, as well as a whole host of
knowledge, guiding principles, and techniques linked to enterprise
architecture.
14. Architecture and solution
• Architecture - designates a description, and more precisely a logical
view
• Solution - represents a technical reality
• ABB(Architecture Building Block) - The logical specification of an
element
• SBB(Solution Building Block) – Physical specification of an element
15. GOALS, CONSTRAINTS, AND REQUIREMENTS
Strategic
Objectives or Goals
• Describe
general
orientation
Operational
Objectives
• Formalize the
goals in terms
of measurable
results at a
given date
Drivers
• Motivates
decisions
regarding
architectural
change
Requirements
• Specify what
will be
concretely
implemented to
reach the stated
goal
Constraints
• Which are
external that
influence the
system
16. Role of the enterprise architect
• The role of an enterprise architect is not to define objectives
(strategic or operational) for an organization
• He/She will formalize them within a structured context, and will use
this formalization to better link decisions and architectural elements
17. STAKEHOLDERS AND THE HUMAN FACTOR
• Stakeholder management
• Transformation Readiness Assessment
• Efficiency of communication through the concept of viewpoints
18. Managing stakeholders
• Who defines goals?
• Who gains and who loses from this change?
• Who controls the transformation process?
• Who designs new systems?
• Who will make the decisions?
• Who procures IT systems and who decides what to buy?
• Who controls resources?
• Who has or controls the necessary specialist skills?
• Who influences the project?
20. Transformation Readiness Assessment
• A clear presentation of the impacts of changes made, notably on an
organizational level
• A concrete view of the expected business benefits, in the form of
“business cases”
• An objective assessment of the enterprise’s IT, business, and financial
aptitudes, with no overestimation of its real capacities
• An executive management team recognized as being able to defend
the project in the long term
• High-quality communication, which aims to promote a common
understanding of the stakes and the solutions to implement
21. Views and viewpoints
• If a message is to be successfully understood, the most important
aspect to consider is that its content and form must be tailored to the
intended recipient.
• Viewpoints - A viewpoint designates the most appropriate
perspective for a given participant, and is materialized by a certain
number of views of the architecture, in the form of diagrams,
documents, or other elements
• It is imperative that views and viewpoints be defined for each
stakeholder before beginning work on the four architecture domains
(business, data, application, and technology)
22. Governance
• To slow down the centrifugal forces and retain a certain level of
overall consistency, it is essential that an appropriate organization be
established
• This organization, called the “architecture board,” is responsible for
the following goals: to guarantee that common rules are respected,
and to ensure that implementation projects are supported. In its
capacity as a steering and control committee, the architecture board
also takes care of managing the architecture repository.
23. Architecture principles
• They establish a set of rules and recommendations, which encourage
the harmonization of choices and practices.
• Architecture principles properties
• Stability: Principles are stable by nature. They are only rarely modified
compared with the frequency of developments.
• General scope: A principle applies to the entire enterprise, and does not
depend on the transformation carried out.
• Comprehensibility: A principle is interpreted clearly by all stakeholders.
• Coherence: With regard to the set of principles. Two principles cannot be
contradictory.
25. TOGAF and DODAF
• DODAF viewpoints are structured as follows:
• All Viewpoint (AV)
• Capability Viewpoint (CV)
• Data and Information Viewpoint (DIV)
• Operational Viewpoint (OV)
• Project Viewpoint (PV)
• Services Viewpoint (SvcV)
• Standards Viewpoint (StdV)
• Systems Viewpoint (SV)
26. TOGAF Viewpoints
• As in TOGAF, each viewpoint is broken down into a collection of
views, each designed to represent a part of the architecture
