TOGAF® Intensive Program (BA Level 1)

The purpose of the TOGAF Intensive Program Business Architecture Level 1 certification credential is to provide validation that individuals have knowledge and understanding of Business Modeling, Business Capabilities, TOGAF Business Scenarios, Information Mapping, and Value Streams and how to apply them in development of a Business Architecture based on the TOGAF® Standard, Version 9.2.

The learning objectives for this certification credential focus on knowledge and comprehension. This credential leads to the award of an Open Badge.

Individuals who earn this credential will have demonstrated their understanding of:

  • The topic of Business Modeling and how it relates to Enterprise Architecture within a TOGAF context
  • The concept of Business Capabilities and how they can be modeled
  • Value Streams and value stream mapping
  • Information Mapping

  • Describe what “value” is in the context of Business Architecture
  • Explain the benefits of value streams and value stream mapping
  • Briefly describe different approaches to value analysis (including value streams, value chains, value networks, and lean value streams)
  • Explain the use of value streams in Business Architecture
  • Explain the relationship of value streams to other Business Architecture concepts, including process, capability, value stage, value stream, value, and stakeholder
  • The Candidate understands the value stream description, decomposition and mapping, and the approach to creating value streams
  • Explain how a value stream is defined
  • Explain how a value stream can be decomposed to a value stream stage
