The Open Group Architecture Framework (TOGAF) Version 7 John Spencer, Director – Architecture Forum Anaheim, January 24 th 2002

Agenda  The Architecture Forum  TOGAF overview  New in TOGAF Version 7  Looking Ahead  Summary

Architecture Forum - Vision  An effective framework and method Resource Base BBIBSIBTRM ADM Target TOGAF  Knowledgeable and professional practitioners  Adequate “Commercial Off- The-Shelf” tools

 A customer initiative  A framework, not an architecture  Originally based on TAFIM (U.S. DoD) TOGAF Origins

TOGAF Development  1994: Requirement  Proof of Need  1995: TOGAF Version 1  Proof of Concept  1996: TOGAF Version 2  Proof of Application  1997: TOGAF Version 3  Relevance to practical architectures (Building Blocks )  1998: TOGAF Version 4  TOGAF in Context - the Enterprise Continuum  1999: TOGAF Version 5  Business Scenarios - architecture requirements  2000: TOGAF Version 6  Architecture views; ANSI/IEEE 1471  US DoD work (C4ISR Framework, C2STA)  2001: TOGAF Version 7

TOGAF Today  An industry consensus framework and method  Successful customer / vendor collaboration  Technology and tool neutral  Proven in practice  8 years continuous development & evolution  Used successfully in major projects / procurements around the world  Publicly available 

TOGAF Structure and Components Building Blocks Information Base (architecture building blocks - future) Standards Information Base (standards) Technical Reference Model (services taxonomy) Architecture Development Method Resource Base Target Architectures TOGAF Foundation Architecture  Architecture Development Method  Foundation Architecture  Resource Base

TOGAF Architecture Development Method (ADM)  Open, industry consensus method for IT architecture  Quick-start foundation  Practical, experience based guidance  Emphasizes continual validation against requirements

New in TOGAF Version 7  ANSI/IEEE Std , Recommended Practice for Architectural Description  Extensive rewrite of Architecture Views section, integrating ANSI/IEEE Std 1471 concepts & terminology  Integration with TOGAF Architecture Development Method  Collaboration with IEEE 1471 Architecture Working Group members  Architecture Compliance Reviews  Procedure & checklists for ensuring architecture conformance in development projects  Based on Boeing work  Architecture Patterns  Distinguish from design patterns  Based on IBM, US Treasury work

TOGAF Version 7 (continued)  Architecture Principles  Extensive generic example  Based on US Air Force work  Business Scenarios  Method for identifying key business drivers and requirements for architecture work  Additional material based on Open Group CIO work  Model based representations of TOGAF Architecture Development Method and deliverables  Using METIS tool from Computas

TOGAF Version 7 (continued)  TOGAF comparison with other frameworks:  Federal Enterprise Architecture Framework (FEAF)  Federal Enterprise Architecture Guidance  Treasury Enterprise Architecture Framework (TEAF)  Spewak Enterprise Architecture Planning (EAP)  Zachman Framework  TOGAF in the Enterprise  TOGAF positioning relative to enterprise architecture  Guidelines for tailoring the TOGAF Architecture Development Method
