The TOGAF Standard is a proven enterprise methodology and framework used by the world’s leading organizations to improve business efficiency.
This document contains two TOGAF Series Guides that have been developed and approved by The Open Group.
TOGAF® Series Guide: Enabling Enterprise Agility
The audience for this document is Enterprise Architects requiring information on how to adapt and use the TOGAF framework to support an Agile enterprise.
The high-level structure of this document is summarized as follows:
• Chapter 1, Introduction provides an introduction to this document, including what is meant by agility, the role of Enterprise Architecture, and its relation to agility
• Chapter 2, Definitions includes the terms and definitions for this document
• Chapter 3, Overview of the TOGAF Architecture Development Method describes the TOGAF Architecture Development Method (ADM) and how that relates to agility
• Chapter 4, Developing Architecture in an Agile Way looks at how architecture activities can be structured to support agility
• Chapter 5, Using Agile Product Management Techniques considers how to execute Enterprise Architecture in an Agile environment
TOGAF® Series Guide: Using the TOGAF® Standard in the Digital Enterprise
The audience for this document is those undertaking the roles of both Enterprise Architects and Digital Practitioners. For Digital Practitioners it communicates what architecture practices would help to grow their digital enterprise, and how to interact with the Enterprise Architecture community to get them. For those undertaking an Enterprise Architect role it provides guidance on supporting the digital enterprise.
A side benefit, therefore, of addressing two audiences, each with different cultures and approaches, is sharing information about each community to facilitate cooperation and productive engagements.
This document sets out to answer two overarching questions:
1. How do Enterprise Architecture and the TOGAF Standard enable the digital enterprise?
2. When and how to apply TOGAF methods and best practices to guide a digital enterprise through its stages of development, which the Digital Practitioner Body of Knowledge™ Standard refers to as the emergence mode?
The high-level structure of this document is as follows:
• Chapter 6, Introduction provides a high-level introduction to this document in terms of how established Enterprise Architecture practices bring value to digital enterprises at all scales
• Chapter 7, Why the TOGAF Standard Supports the Digital Enterprise describes how Enterprise Architecture and the TOGAF® Standard bring valuable tools to digital enterprises of all sizes
• Chapter 8, Terminology Alignment provides an alignment of terminology between the TOGAF Standard and the Digital Practitioner Body of Knowledge
• Chapter 9, How the TOGAF Standard Supports the Digital Enterprise provides details on applying Enterprise Architecture and the TOGAF Standard to the contexts described in DPBoK™ Standard
• Appendix A, Enterprise Architecture Benefits lists Enterprise Architecture benefits
• Appendix B, Principles from the TOGAF Standard lists principles from the TOGAF Standard
• Appendix C, Services Proposed for the TOGAF Standard shows how Enterprise Architecture services package TOGAF activities to deliver value on demand in two major categories: internal-centric and customer-centric
• Appendix D, Rationalizing the TOGAF and DPBoK Standards further illustrates the connections between the TOGAF Standard and the DPBoK Standard
The TOGAF® Series Guides contain guidance on how to use the TOGAF Standard and how to adapt it to fulfill specific needs.
The TOGAF® Series Guides are expected to be the most rapidly developing part of the TOGAF Standard and are positioned as the guidance part of the standard. While the TOGAF Fundamental Content is expected to be long-lived and stable, guidance on the use of the TOGAF Standard can be industry, architectural style, purpose, and problem-specific. For example, the stakeholders, concerns, views, and supporting models required to support the transformation of an extended enterprise may be significantly different than those used to support the transition of an in-house IT environment to the cloud; both will use the Architecture Development Method (ADM), start with an Architecture Vision, and develop a Target Architecture on the way to an Implementation and Migration Plan. The TOGAF Fundamental Content remains the essential scaffolding across industry, domain, and style.
