The IT Architecture Tools Challenge

This challenge aims to provide a robust architectural framework using TOGAF principles, supporting knowledgeable practitioners at all levels. The goal is to maintain, baseline, and implement architecture while identifying opportunities and solutions for organizations. Objectives include tool portfolios for various ADM phases, promoting tool interchange, and encouraging building-block repositories. The approach involves issuing challenges to renowned vendors and encouraging lesser-known tools for adoption.
