TOGAF - Core Concepts
I learned the following core concepts
- Architecture Development Method (ADM)
- Enterprise Continuum
- Architecture Repository
- And much more
Architecture Development Method (ADM)
Sequential phases
Eight phases A to H
Preliminary phase and Requirements Management Phase.
Iterative process
Baseline and Target Architecture
Some more Definitions
Deliverables
- Contractually specified and formally reviewed agreed by stakeholder.
- Represents Output of Project
Artifacts
- Architectural work product that describes an aspect of architecture
Building Block
- Potentially reusable IT/business component
- Architectural and Solution Building block
Enterprise Continuum
Continuum
- Generic Architecture
- Organization Specific Architecture
Enterprise Continuum
- View of architecture repository
- Most generic architecture on left and specific architecture on left
Architecture Repository
To store architectural output at different level of abstraction.
Supports Enterprise continuum
Architecture Repository Component
Architecture meta-model
Describes the organizationally tailored application of an architecture framework.
Architecture Capability
Defines the parameters, structures, and processes that support governance of the Architecture Repository
Architecture Landscape
Which shows the architectural view of solutions/applications that are in organization today.
Standards Information base
Includes industry standard, external standards selected products and services from vendor.
Reference Library
Provides guidelines, templates, patterns, and other forms of reference material
Governance Log
Which record of governance activity across enterprise
Architecture Requirements Repository\
Provides a view of all authorized architecture requirements which have been agreed with the Architecture Board

Presents an
architectural representation of the SBBs supporting the Architecture Landscape
