Enterprise Architecture Advanced Training

Course Description Overview

035049

TOGAF, an Open Group Standard, is a proven enterprise architecture methodology and framework used by the world’s leading organisations to improve business efficiency. It is the most prominent and reliable enterprise architecture standard, ensuring consistent standards, methods, and communication among enterprise architecture professionals. Enterprise architecture professionals fluent in TOGAF standards enjoy greater industry credibility, job effectiveness, and career opportunities. TOGAF helps practitioners avoid being locked into proprietary methods, utilise resources more efficiently and effectively, and realise a greater return on investment.

This two day course is intended as an advanced exploration of the TOGAF framework. TOGAF is the de-facto global standard for Enterprise Architecture. The Open Group Architecture Forum, comprised of more than 200 enterprises, develops and maintains the TOGAF standard and publishes successive versions at regular intervals. It contains substantial guidance on what to do to establish an architecture practice and then how to use it in connection with planning the longer-term transformation of the enterprise (strategic architecture), and designing capabilities to support it.

Course Objectives:

The course is designed as a follow-on course from the TOGAF Level 1 examination. During the course delegates will get the opportunity to prepare for the exam and utilise our extensive database of practice questions. This course will enable delegates to gain an advanced understanding of all the key parts of the TOGAF Framework:

· How to apply the ADM phases in development of an enterprise architecture

· How to apply Architecture Governance in development of an enterprise architecture

· How to apply the TOGAF Architecture Content Framework

· How to apply the concept of Building Blocks

· How to apply the Stakeholder Management Technique

· How to apply the TOGAF Content Metamodel

· How to apply TOGAF recommended techniques when developing an enterprise architecture

· The TOGAF Technical Reference Model and how to customize it to meet an organisation’s needs

· The Integrated Information Infrastructure Reference Model

· The content of the key deliverables of the ADM cycle

· How an enterprise architecture can be partitioned to meet the specific needs of an organisation

· The purpose of the Architecture Repository

· How to apply iteration and different levels of architecture with the ADM

· How to adapt the ADM for security

· SOA as a style of architecture

· The role of architecture maturity models in developing an enterprise architecture

· The purpose of the Architecture Skills Framework and how to apply it within an organisation

Target Student:

Although there is no mandatory requirement, ideally candidates should have at least two years professional experience working in Enterprise Architecture. The TOGAF Certified would suit candidates working in the following professions or areas:
