This document introduces the main components and concepts of TOGAF 9. It outlines six key parts: 1) The Architecture Development Method (ADM) which is an iterative process for developing enterprise architecture; 2) ADM Guidelines and Techniques to support applying the ADM; 3) The Architecture Content Framework which provides a model for architectural work products and deliverables; 4) The Enterprise Continuum which structures a repository for architecture artifacts; 5) Reference Models including the Technical Reference Model and Integrated Information Infrastructure Reference Model; and 6) The Architecture Capability Framework which provides guidance on establishing an operational enterprise architecture practice.

1. TOGAF 9 Components
Module 2

2. Module Objec8ves
• To highlight and introduce the main components and
key concepts of TOGAF 9

3. 1. The Architecture Development Method (ADM)
• The core of TOGAF
• A proven way of developing an
architecture
• Designed to address business
requirements
• An itera@ve method
• A set of architecture views to
ensure that a complex set of
requirements are adequately
addressed
• Each phase includes objec@ves,
approach, inputs, steps and
outputs

4. 2. ADM Guidelines and Techniques
• A set of guidelines and techniques to support the
applica@on of the ADM
• The guidelines help to adapt the ADM to deal with
different scenarios, including different process styles
(e.g. itera@ons) and also specific requirements (e.g.
security)
• The techniques support specific tasks within the
ADM (e.g. defining principles, business scenarios, gap
analysis, migra@on planning, risk management, etc)

5. Applying Itera8on to the ADM

6. Applying the ADM

7. Categories of Stakeholders

8. 3. Architecture Content Framework
• Provides a detailed model of
architectural work products
• Deliverables, Ar@facts
• Architecture Building Blocks
(ABBs) that deliverables represent
• It drives for greater consistency in
the outputs of TOGAF
• It provides a comprehensive
checklist of architectural outputs
• It promotes beNer integra@on of
work products
• It provides a detailed open standard
for describing architectures
• It includes a detailed metamodel

9. Deliverables, Ar8facts and Building Blocks

10. 4. Enterprise Con8nuum

11. Architecture Repository

12. 5. Reference Models
• Two Reference Models are provided
• The TOGAF Technical Reference Model (TRM)
• A Founda@on Architecture
• A model and a taxonomy of generic plaPorm services
• The Integrated Informa8on Infrastructure Model (III-RM)
• A model for business applica@ons and infrastructure
applica@ons
• Specifically aimed to support the vision of “Boundaryless
Informa@on Flow”

13. High Level TRM

14. Detailed TRM

15. The Integrated Informa8on Infrastructure Reference Model (III-RM)

16. Boundaryless Informa8on Flow
• A trademark of The Open Group
• Access to integrated informa@on to support business
process improvements
• An infrastructure that provides Boundaryless
Informa8on Flow has open standard components
that provide services in a customer’s extended
enterprise that:
• combine mul@ple sources of informa@on
• securely deliver the informa@on wherever and
whenever it is needed, in the right context for the
people and systems using that informa@on

17. 6. Architecture Capability Framework

18. Establishing the Architecture Capability as an Opera8onal En8ty
• The Architecture Capability Framework provides
guidance on establishing an opera@onal EA prac@ce
• It recommends management capabili@es such as:
• Finance, Performance
• Service, Risk
• Resource, Configura@on
• Quality, Supplier
• Communica@ons, Stakeholder
• Environment

19. Using TOGAF with Other Enterprise Frameworks
Two of the key elements of any enterprise architecture
framework are:
• A defini@on of the deliverables that the architec@ng
ac@vity should produce
• A descrip@on of the method by which this should be
done

20. TOGAF Document Categoriza8on Model
The content of the TOGAF document is categorized
according to the following four categories:
• TOGAF Core
• TOGAF Mandated
• TOGAF Recommended
• TOGAF Suppor@ng

21. Summary
1. Architecture Development Method (ADM)
• An itera@ve sequence of steps to develop an
enterprise-wide architecture
2. ADM Guidelines and Techniques
• Guidelines and techniques to support the
applica@on of the ADM
3. Architecture Content Framework
• A detailed model of architectural work products,
including deliverables, ar@facts within
deliverables, and the Architecture Building Blocks
(ABBs) that deliverables represent

22. Summary
4. Enterprise Con8nuum
• A model for structuring a virtual repository and
methods for classifying architecture and solu@on
ar@facts
• Supported by the Architecture Repository, a model
for a physical repository
5. Reference Models
• TRM, III-RM
6. Architecture Capability Framework
• A structured defini@on of the organiza@ons, skills,
roles and responsibili@es to establish and operate
an EA.
