TOGAF Demystified

The TOGAF Demystified training course is designed to provide delegates with an understanding of
the TOGAF process. This course is not suitable for TOGAF certification, rather to explain clearly what
and who is involved in TOGAF and provide a case study to support these explanations.
It is ideally suited to system architects, solution designers who would wish to gain an understanding
of what TOGAF is, the benefits it can bring and how appreciate TOGAF through the use of a worked
case study.

Course Delivery
The course is delivered using formal instruction based upon a Case Study for which TOGAF has been
applied. The Case Study TOGAF solution will be presented using PowerPoint slides and Enterprise
Architect.
Although no specific hands-on exercises are used during this course, interactive discussion centred
around the case study will be encouraged.

TOGAF Preliminary Phase

This phase is about defining how we do architecture which breaks down into two main areas:
defining the framework and defining the architecture principles.
During this session of the course you will the case study example of the TOGAF Preliminary Phase
with reference to:

The Enterprise Architecture team

Creating the Enterprise glossary
Request for Architecture Work
Creating the architecture governance
TOGAF Requirements Management

Underpinning all phases of the TOGAF ADM is Requirements Management, which is not static but a
dynamic process whereby requirements for enterprise architecture and subsequent changes to
those requirements are identified, stored and traced to ADM artifacts and building blocks.
During this session of the course you will the case study example of the TOGAF Requirements
Management with reference to:
Requirements management
Classification of requirements for use within the TOGAF ADM
Data that should be captured within requirements
Traceability to other elements with the Enterprise Architecture repository
TOGAF Phase A: Architecture Vision Phase
This phase defines what is in and what is outside the scope of the architecture effort and the
constraints that apply.
During this session of the course you will the case study example of the TOGAF Phase A with
reference to:
Identification and capturing of business principles, business goals and
strategic business drivers
Definition and prioritisation of baseline architecture components
Definition and capture of stakeholders, their concerns and objectives
Identification capture of key business requirements to be address within the
architecture
Formulation of an architecture vision
TOGAF Phase B: Business Architecture Phase
Knowledge of the Business Architecture is a prerequisite for architecture work in the remaining
phases of the TOGAF ADM.
During this session of the course you will the case study example of the TOGAF Phase B with
reference to:
Inputs, outputs and deliverables
Modelling the business context and business organisation
Describing and capturing a baseline business architecture
Development of a target business architecture
Gap analysis between baseline and target business architectures
Business process scenarios
Capturing artifacts and building blocks in the Enterprise Continuum
TOGAF Phase C: information Systems Architecture Phase

This phase involves the combination of application and data architectures.

During this session of the course you will the case study example of the TOGAF Phase C with
reference to:
Inputs, outputs and deliverables
Describing and capturing baseline application and data architectures
Development of target application and data architectures
Gap analysis between baseline and target application and data architectures
Capturing artifacts and building blocks in the Enterprise Continuum
TOGAF Phase D: Technology Architecture Phase
This phase describes the operating software and physical hardware capabilities that are required to
support the deployment of business, application and data services. This includes IT infrastructure,
middleware, networks, communications, hardware inventory, processing, services and standards.
During this session of the course you will the case study example of the TOGAF Phase D with
reference to:
Inputs, outputs and deliverables
Use of Technical Reference Models
Describing and capturing baseline technology architecture
Development of target technology architecture
Gap analysis between baseline and target technology architectures
Capturing artifacts and building blocks in the Enterprise Continuum
TOGAF Phase E: Opportunities and Solutions
This phase attempts to identify new business and technology solutions arising from the architecture
work in the previous phases of the TOGAF ADM. Typically this results in a set of project specifications
for the enterprise to realise the goal of transiting from the baseline to target architectures.
During this session of the course you will the case study example of the TOGAF Phase E with
reference to:
Identification and capture of key business drivers constraining the
sequencing of implementation
Cost benefit analysis
Identification and capture of project specifications and major work tasks
TOGAF Phase F: Migration Planning
The objective of this phase is to sort the various implementation projects identified during TOGAF
Phase E into priority order.
During this session of the course you will the case study example of the TOGAF Phase F with
reference to:
Impact analysis on existing projects and the enterprise as a whole
Identifying and capturing whats needs to be developed, what can be reused and what is redundant
Development and capture of a timeline for implementation
TOGAF Phase G: Implementation Governance

This phase establishes the connection between architecture and implementation governance,
through the Architecture Contract
During this session of the course you will the case study example of the TOGAF Phase G with
reference to:
Formulation and capturing of recommendations for each implementation
project
Construction of an Architecture Contract to govern the overall
implementation and deployment process
TOGAF Phase H: Architecture Change Management
This phase establishes the governance criteria that justifies whether a change request warrant an
architecture update or if another cycle of the TOGAF ADM is required.
During this session of the course you will the case study example of the TOGAF Phase H with
reference to:
o Monitoring technology changes
o Monitoring business changes
o Assessment of these changes on the architecture
o Publishing of architecture changes

Pre-requisites
It is expected that all delegates will be experienced system architects and solution architects. It
would be ideal if delegates where aware of TOGAF although this is not absolutely necessary.
