Special Pre-Conference Tutorial

Tutorial : An Introduction to TOGAF

Sunday February 1st 2008, 16:00-17:00

Overview

The Open Group Architecture Framework (TOGAF) is a comprehensive framework and methodology which enables the design, evaluation and implementation of the right Architecture for an Enterprise. It has been evolved continuously within The Open Group's Architecture Forum over the past twelve years, and its development has been guided by and based on the knowledge and experience of Open Group members who are practicing Enterprise and IT Architects working for a wide range of enterprises throughout the world.

This tutorial describes what the Architecture Forum has achieved so far in the development of the "Enterprise Edition" of TOGAF, Version 8, and shows how the Forum is responding to new challenges. Topics covered include: The Open Group Architecture Forum; the motivation for developing TOGAF; TOGAF components; the TOGAF Architecture Development Method (ADM); other aspects of TOGAF; other activities of the Architecture Forum; plans for the future.
