TOGAF COURSE FOR PRACTITIONERS

Enterprise & IT Architecture is a growing discipline and has seen exponential growth over the last
few years and is expected to grow even more rapidly in the future. Often IT Architecture has
been seen as a backroom activity. Enterprise Architecture should get systems thinking out of the
backroom and into the boardroom. From the original ideas of John Zachman the discipline has
emerged to cover Business Process Management, Information Systems and Technology
Infrastructure – all of which amounts to consciously architecting the enterprise rather than
allowing the enterprise to happen by accident.

iCMG already instructs candidates successfully in Zachman, Business Process Management and
Enterprise & IT Architecture.

The Open Group Architecture Framework (TOGAF) is one of the popular framework which can
be used to mould various aspects of Enterprise Architecture. There is flexibility built into the
TOGAF Framework, primarily through the key concept of the Architecture Development Method
(the
ADM) which is inherently adaptable to co-exist with other frameworks such as Zachman, BPM,
SOA or Solution Architecture methodologies such as SDLC or even Agile.

TOGAF provides a discipline for Enterprise Architecture while also providing the flexibility to
adapt the method for any specific organisation or methodology. This 'openness' of TOGAF as
demonstrated in one of the key values of The Open Group is one of the major factors which
has led to the growing success of TOGAF over recent years.

This 4 days workshop covers the latest version of the method – TOGAF 9 – and
prepares candidates for the TOGAF 9 examination which is taken separately at a later
date.
Profile of the Trainer:

Roger Cutts is a leading exponent of Enterprise Architecture and has over 30 years experience
in some of the world’s leading corporations. Influenced by the work of John Zachman in the
1980s, Roger has applied the ideas of Enterprise Architecture in a number of environments,
including major consultancy companies, pharmaceuticals, and telecommunications, and has
experience of a number of other industries including banking, insurance and publishing. This has
enabled him
to develop a clear view of concepts such as architecture domains and functional models for a
variety of businesses. A few years ago Roger found that the TOGAF methodology concurred very
much with his own ideas and therefore became a practitioner and trainer in TOGAF version 8. In
early 2009 Roger became one of the first people to become TOGAF 9 Certified and has run
numerous TOGAF 9 events since. He now spends his time delivering TOGAF Training Course
around the world and has delivered courses in 5 continents and over 20 countries.

A Consultant and Trainer in the field of Enterprise Architecture, including all aspects of the
System Development Life-Cycle. An experienced IT Architect (TOGAF and ISEB Certified) who
has worked for some of the world’s major businesses. A logical analytical person and visionary
out-of-the-box thinker who challenges the status quo and seeks the optimum solution. A friendly
person who gets on with people and works with integrity and a determined and persistent
person who sets goals and achieves them.

This module introduces the course, explains the paths to certification and provides a summary
of all the modules in the course.

2. Management Overview

The Management Overview includes an introduction to The Open Group, an overview of the
purpose and benefits of Enterprise Architecture, introduction to Architecture Frameworks and the
Architecture Development Method, and an overview of the TOGAF components and the phases
and steps of the method. All these concepts will be explored in more detail throughout the
course.

3. TOGAF 9 Components

This module explains the main components and key concepts of TOGAF 9 including: The
Architecture Development Method, the Architecture Content Framework, the TOGAF
Reference Models, ADM Guidelines and Techniques, the Enterprise Continuum and the

subsequently.

4. Introduction to ADM

This module provides an introduction to the phases of the ADM and considers under what
circumstances the ADM may be adapted.

5. Enterprise Continuum and Tools

The Enterprise Continuum is a rather abstract concept for categorizing architectures. This

to support the Enterprise Architecture.

6. Architecture Repository

This module describes the Architecture Repository, a new concept in TOGAF 9, and
the proposed contents of each section of the repository.

7. Architecture Content Framework

The Architecture Content Framework is also a new feature of TOGAF 9 and suggests a set of
Deliverables, Artifacts and Building Blocks to describe the Enterprise Architecture. It is in a
way analogous to the Zachman Framework.

8. TOGAF Content Metamodel

The Content Metamodel is a way of using Architecture to describe Architecture and this model
contains a detailed view of the Content Metamodel entities and their relationships. This may be
seen as a more rigorous way of describing the Content Framework.
9. Case Study / Mock Exam Questions

Throughout the course, at various points during each day, learning will be reinforced through
the use of case study exercises and mock examination questions.
