TOGAF 9 In Pictures

Introduction

TOGAF is an Architecture Framework which has been

developed by the Open Group “to provide the methods
and tools for assisting in the acceptance, production,
use and maintenance of an Enterprise Architecture”.

This guide has been designed to give a quick and

simple pictorial introduction to TOGAF9, broken
down into 6 main ‘modules’, following the modular
structure of TOGAF9, which has been a change
from TOGAF8.
