TOGAF® Intensive Program (EA foundation)

The TOGAF Enterprise Architecture Foundation certification provides validation that an individual has the basic knowledge and understanding of the Enterprise Architecture using the TOGAF approach, sufficient to be able to contribute to an architecture project or work with the results.

The learning objectives at this level focus on knowledge and comprehension.

Certified individuals will have demonstrated their understanding of:

  • The concepts of Enterprise Architecture and the TOGAF Standard
  • The key terminology of the TOGAF Standard
  • The Architecture Development Method (ADM) cycle and the objectives of each phase, and how to
  • adapt and scope the ADM for use
  • The techniques available to support application of the ADM
  • Applying the ADM, including use of iteration, partitioning, and application in a Digital enterprise
  • How Architecture Governance contributes to architecture development
  • Architecture content — the outputs produced while executing the ADM

The purpose of this Learning Unit is to introduce the concepts of Enterprise Architecture and the TOGAF Standard.

Learning Outcomes

  • Describe what an enterprise is.
  • Explain the purpose of Enterprise Architecture.
  • List the key benefits of having an Enterprise Architecture.
  • Explain why the TOGAF Standard is suitable for use as a framework for Enterprise Architecture.

  • Describe the objectives of the Preliminary Phase.
  • Briefly explain the purpose of Phase A.
  • Describe the objectives of Phase A.
  • Briefly explain the purpose of Phases B, C, and D.
  • Describe the objectives of Phase B.
  • Describe the objectives of Phase C for Data Architecture and Application Architecture.
  • Describe the objectives of Phase D.
  • Briefly explain the purpose of Phase E.
  • Describe the objectives of Phase E.
  • Briefly explain the purpose of Phase F.
  • Describe the objectives of Phase F.
  • Briefly explain the purpose of Phase G.
  • Describe the objectives of Phase G.
  • Briefly explain the purpose of Phase H.
  • Describe the objectives of Phase H.
  • Describe the objectives of the Requirements Management process.
  • Describe the purpose of Requirements Management.
  • Explain the information flow between the ADM phases.
  • Explain how developing architecture for different purposes, or levels of detail, can be applied to support Agile software development.

The purpose of this Learning Unit is to introduce the Candidate to ADM techniques available to support application of the ADM.

Learning Outcomes

  • Briefly describe how the ADM and Supporting Guidelines and Techniques relate to each other.
  • Explain the purpose of Architecture Principles.
  • Explain the recommended template for Architecture Principles.
  • Explain what makes a good Architecture Principle.
  • Briefly explain business scenarios.
  • Explain the purpose of gap analysis.
  • Briefly explain interoperability and how it is used.
  • Explain Business Transformation Readiness Assessment and where it can be used in the ADM.
  • Briefly explain the characteristics of architecture risk management and where it is used within the TOGAF ADM.

The purpose of this Learning Unit is to introduce the Candidate to the guidance available to support application of the ADM, including use of iteration, partitioning, Agile delivery, and application in a Digital enterprise.

Learning Outcomes

  • Briefly explain the concept of Architecture Governance.
  • Explain why Architecture Governance is beneficial.
  • Briefly explain the role of an Architecture Board and its responsibilities.
  • Briefly explain the role of Architecture Contracts.
  • Briefly explain the need for Architecture Compliance.

The purpose of this Learning Unit is to help the Candidate understand how Architecture Governance contributes to the architecture development.
