It is an enterprise architecture standard, ensuring consistent standards, methods, and communication among enterprise architecture professionals, so that we can conduct . Mandatory/optional: This section is optional as not all the domain teams need to produce a business architecture for their respective domains. Draw up a matrix with all the Architecture Building Blocks (ABBs) of the baseline architecture on the vertical axis, and all the ABBs of the target architecture on the horizontal axis. The diagram below provides a view of the current business architecture at the conceptual level which consists of business services categories and business services. The Table of Contents appears as below: In summary, the explanation of the Architecture Roadmap in the TOGAF documentation is very dry and abstract. However, the definition of logical infrastructure components can only be confirmed during the architectural analysis for each domain. The TOGAF Standard, Version 9.2 - Phase A: Architecture Vision 6. The context within which a business service operates can be derived from the information objects, as these objects can have a CIA classification. Elaborate Business Goals, Business Drivers, and Constraints, 3.3.5 Assess Readiness for Business A risk is a description of an issue or problem that may arise related to the architecture development. and guidelines established in the architecture framework. and commitment of the necessary line management. information systems and technology perspective, including: Baseline Business Architecture, Version 0.1, Baseline Technology Architecture, Version 0.1, Baseline Applications Architecture, Version 0.1, Target Business Architecture, Version 0.1, Target Technology Architecture, Version 0.1, Target Applications Architecture, Version 0.1, Develop Statement of Architecture Work and Secure Approval, Approved Statement of Architecture Work (, Refined statements of business goals and strategic drivers. The architect can find guidance in 3.5 Approach to gather existing business capability frameworks for the enterprise in this early assessment. enterprise to develop and consume the architecture. It is an offshoot of enterprise architecture that comprises the models, policies, rules, and standards that govern the collection, storage, arrangement, integration, and use of data in. This View is a simple selection of the architecture principles. These outline descriptions are then built on in subsequent phases. TOGAF is a tool for assisting in the acceptance, production, use, and maintenance of enterprise architectures. Integral to the Architecture Vision is an understanding of emerging technologies and their potential impact on industries and Lays them out on a timeline to show progression from the Baseline Architecture to the Target Architecture. capability of the enterprise is critical. Architecture principles are normally based on In addition, the Architecture Vision explores other domains which are appropriate for the Enterprise Architecture in hand. Estimate the resources needed, develop a roadmap and schedule for the value that can realistically be expected to accrue to the enterprise from the chosen scope of architecture work. Practical and proven, it is based on an iterative process model supported by best practices and a re-usable set of existing architectural assets.
