It has been developed and approved by The Open Group, and is part of the TOGAF Standard, 10th Edition. Designed to help the Practitioner, it provides guidance on using the TOGAF framework to develop, maintain, and use an Enterprise Architecture. It is a companion to the TOGAF framework and is intended to bring the concepts and generic constructs in the TOGAF framework to life. It puts forward an approach to develop, maintain, and use an Enterprise Architecture that aligns to a set of requirements and expectations of the stakeholders, and enables predictable value creation. This document: Introduces key topics of concern Describes the TOGAF Standard concepts related to the topic Shows how it is related to developing, maintaining, and using an EA Discusses what the Practitioner needs to know Describes what the Practitioner should do with this knowledge It covers the following topics: An introduction to the topic, including how to use this guide with the TOGAF framework and definitions Guidance on Enterprise Architecture, including what it is and what it is used for Coordinating EA development across the EA Landscape and business cycle Using the ADM to develop an Enterprise Architecture Guidance on using an Enterprise Architecture Guidance on maintaining an Enterprise Architecture

The TOGAF standard is a framework - a detailed method and a set of supporting tools - for developing an Enterprise Architecture, developed by members of The Open Group Architecture Forum. The TOGAF Standard, Version 9.2 is an update providing additional guidance, correcting errors, introducing structural changes to support the TOGAF Library (an extensive collection of reference material), and removing obsolete content. It may be used freely by any organization wishing to develop an Enterprise Architecture for use within that organization (subject to the Conditions of Use). This Book is divided into six parts: • Part I - Introduction This part provides a high-level introduction to the key concepts of Enterprise Architecture and in particular the TOGAF approach. It contains the definitions of terms used throughout the standard. • Part II - Architecture Development Method This is the core of the TOGAF framework. It describes the TOGAF Architecture Development Method (ADM) – a step-by-step approach to developing an Enterprise Architecture. • Part III - ADM Guidelines & Techniques This part contains a collection of guidelines and techniques available for use in applying the TOGAF framework and the TOGAF ADM. Additional guidelines and techniques are also in the TOGAF Library (available online from The Open Group). • Part IV - Architecture Content Framework This part describes the TOGAF content framework, including a structured metamodel for architectural artifacts, the use of re-usable architecture building blocks, and an overview of typical architecture deliverables. • Part V - Enterprise Continuum & Tools This part discusses appropriate taxonomies and tools to categorize and store the outputs of architecture activity within an enterprise. • Part VI Architecture Capability Framework This part discusses the organization, processes, skills, roles, and responsibilities required to establish and operate an architecture practice within an enterprise.
