TOGAF is a Management Framework
and a Development Method
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________
•
•
•
•
The TOGAF (ADM) is a generic method,
intended to be used by enterprises in a wide
variety of industry types and geographies.
It is recommended for use with a wide
variety of other frameworks, if required.
It is complementary to, not competing with,
other enterprise frameworks
Other frameworks that may be coordinated
with TOGAF are:
–
–
–
–
–
–
–
–
–
Strategic Business Planning
Business Design, Direction and Planning
Portfolio Management
Project Management
Business Modeling
Governance, Risk and Compliance
COBIT

Step 5 – Preliminary
Tailor TOGAF and other selected Architecture Frameworks
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________
•
•
•
Process and Framework Tailoring: the ADM is a generic process. Process tailoring allows us to
remove tasks that are done elsewhere, add organization-specific tasks and align the ADM
processes with external process frameworks.
Pattern and Content Tailoring: using the TOGAF Architecture Content Framework, this allows
adoption of third-party content frameworks and customization of the framework to support
organization-specific requirements
Terminology Tailoring: it is best to use terminology that is understood across the enterprise.

Model Guardianship
Challenges
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
TOGAF metamodel is weak but a good beginning
TOGAF Business Architecture model is very weak
The Preliminary Phase Repository setup time, research and lack of skill may kill your project
Reference model overlaps need to be harmonized and integrated
Requirement for powerful reporting
Requirement for advanced conditional logic documentation that is easy for all to use
Requirement for a model guardian dashboard
No to automate the Model Guardian

The “TOGAF 9” Framework Voice of our Customer
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________
•
"We recently completed a production business transformation, and
the clarity provided by the very first Enterprise Architect TOGAF 9
course, led by Ramsay, to focus on learning and applying Enterprise
Architect to the practice of using the TOGAF 9 Framework saved
Enterprise Architects at our Fortune 15 energy company
saved many months in start- up when using new tools and
process, a saving far greater than Enterprise Architect software
license costs and the entire cost of training & retooling." – Chief
Architect, Fortune 15 Energy Sector Company
•
"Even though Enterprise Architect is an extremely powerful tool and
more feature rich than all the competing products we have reviewed
in our RFP, it is hard to apply it without proper mentorship and a
process that unfolds a step by step example of doing a project." Chief Enterprise Architect, Duke Energy, Charlotte, NC
•
"I've been able to impose a new level of discipline on to align
business and IT - we've eliminated the 'weak link' by creating a
common business language(UML) between the business people
coming in with requirements and the architects who are designing
the new systems. The methods and techniques revealed are a
breath of fresh air when I compare them to their predecessors" Director of Strategic Planning, Major US based Retailer

Formulate high-level implementation
and migration strategy
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________
•
Essentially there are three basic approaches as follows:
– Greenfield: start from the beginning
– Revolutionary: radical change (switch on, switch off); need for major surge resourcing
(double/shadow system)
– Evolutionary: includes strategy of convergence; a phased approach is needed to introduce most
capabilities
