Overview
Organisations
today have discovered the value and benefits of Enterprise Architecture and are
now looking for ways to implement it in their organisation. TOGAF is the only
real option for an industry standard approach, and has seen a significant
interest in adoption and certification. But all too often, after achieving a
certification, the architect and the organisation are left wondering: ‘What
next?’
One of the most challenging and important parts of TOGAF is tailoring it to your organisation. Unfortunately, most TOGAF training is focused on preparing participants for the certification examination. In order to provide a certified TOGAF course, the material is highly regulated by The Open Group, ensuring a consistent level of knowledge and a command of the TOGAF vocabulary, but leaving little time for topics such as implementation examples to be covered in the class.
This course is focused on the practical aspects of how to apply TOGAF within your organisation. It stresses two areas: Tailoring TOGAF, and creating an Architectural Vision. Anyone who is involved in implementing TOGAF will find the course invaluable. TOGAF certification is not required for the course, although participants who are certified will find that the course reinforces and builds on their knowledge. Note that this is not a certified TOGAF course and it is not intended for certification exam preparation. Rather, it illustrates the practical implementation of TOGAF through an extensive example.
The course is structured as a mix of presentation, interactive discussion and group based exercises, so delegates get the chance to apply the concepts learned to example scenarios during the facilitated exercises.
