Steps
Preliminary Phase steps center on identifying organizations involved, how the enterprise is governed, finding the right people to conduct the
transition from current to target architectures, firmly define principles by which all aspects of the transition can be judged, integrating TOGAF
into the corporate environment, and selecting the right tools for the right job.
