Foreword

This Exam Preparation book is intended for those preparing for The Open Group Architecture

Framework (TOGAF) CertiIcation.

The Art of Service has been an Accredited Training Organization for this program since 1998.

The strategies and content in this book are a result of experience and understanding of the

TOGAF distinctions and the exam requirements.

This book is not a replacement for completing the course. This is a study aid to assist those

who have completed an accredited course and are preparing for the exam.

While it is not possible to pre-empt every question and content that MAY be asked in the

exam, this book covers the main concepts covered within The Open Group Architecture

Framework discipline.

The advantages of using the TOGAF approach are that it provides:

•

•

•

•

A process for designing an information system, in terms of a set of building blocks.

Establishes a common vocabulary for use in the design, implementation and

governance.

ïncludes a list of recommended standards to use with the organization’s enterprise

architecture.

Contains a set of structured and rigorous methods for the implementation and

governance of enterprise architecture.

Due to licensing rights, we are unable to provide actual TOGAF Exams. However, the study

notes and sample exam questions in this book will allow you to more easily prepare for a

TOGAF exam.

The Open Group Architecture Framework

The Open Group is a consortium neutral to vendor and technology and intent on creating open standards and global inter-operability to enable access to integrated information within and between enterprises.

One of the certiIcation programs, The Open Group Architecture Forum (TOGAF), provides an opportunity for service providers and tool vendors to demonstrate their products and service ability to support the enterprise.

TOGAF is an industry standard architecture framework to develop information systems architecture within the enterprise using the TOGAF Architecture Development Method (ADM). CertiIcation for TOGAF comes in two levels or parts: Foundation and CertiIed.

•

•

Foundation CertiIcation demonstrates a candidates knowledge of the terminology and basic concepts of TOGAF, as well as the core principles. The CertiIed level shows a candidate’s ability to apply their knowledge of TOGAF.

The TOGAF 9 Part 1 exam covers the following eleven topics: 1. Basic Concepts 2. Core Concepts 3. ïntroduction to the ADM 4. The Enterprise Continuum and Tools 5. ADM Phases 6. ADM Guidelines and Techniques 7. Architecture Governance 8. Architecture Views, Viewpoints and Stakeholders 9. Building Blocks 10. ADM Deliverables 11. TOGAF Reference Models

The TOGAF 9 Part 2 exam draws its questions from the following topic areas: • ADM Phases: Project Establishment • ADM Phases: Architecture DeInition • ADM Phases: Transition Planning • ADM Phases: Governance • Adapting the ADM • Architecture Content Framework • TOGAF Reference Models • Architecture Capability Framework 9
