The Open Group Architecture Framework (TOGAF) Version 7 John Spencer, Director – Architecture Forum Anaheim, January 24th 2002
Agenda • The Architecture Forum • TOGAF overview • New in TOGAF Version 7 • Looking Ahead • Summary
Knowledgeable and professional practitioners • Adequate “Commercial Off-The-Shelf” tools Target ADM TRM SIB BBIB Resource Base TOGAF Architecture Forum - Vision • An effective framework and method
TOGAF Origins • A customer initiative • A framework, not an architecture • Originally based on TAFIM (U.S. DoD)
TOGAF Development • 1994: Requirement • Proof of Need • 1995: TOGAF Version 1 • Proof of Concept • 1996: TOGAF Version 2 • Proof of Application • 1997: TOGAF Version 3 • Relevance to practical architectures (Building Blocks) • 1998: TOGAF Version 4 • TOGAF in Context - the Enterprise Continuum • 1999: TOGAF Version 5 • Business Scenarios - architecture requirements • 2000: TOGAF Version 6 • Architecture views; ANSI/IEEE 1471 • US DoD work (C4ISR Framework, C2STA) • 2001: TOGAF Version 7
TOGAF Today • An industry consensus framework and method • Successful customer / vendor collaboration • Technology and tool neutral • Proven in practice • 8 years continuous development & evolution • Used successfully in major projects / procurements around the world • Publicly available • http://www.opengroup.org/public/arch
TOGAF Structure and Components • Architecture Development Method • Foundation Architecture • Resource Base Target Architectures Architecture Development Method Building Blocks Information Base (architecture building blocks - future) Standards Information Base (standards) Technical Reference Model (services taxonomy) TOGAF FoundationArchitecture Resource Base
TOGAF Architecture Development Method (ADM) • Open, industry consensus method for IT architecture • Quick-start foundation • Practical, experience based guidance • Emphasizes continual validation against requirements
New in TOGAF Version 7 • ANSI/IEEE Std 1471-2000, Recommended Practice for Architectural Description • Extensive rewrite of Architecture Views section, integrating ANSI/IEEE Std 1471 concepts & terminology • Integration with TOGAF Architecture Development Method • Collaboration with IEEE 1471 Architecture Working Group members • Architecture Compliance Reviews • Procedure & checklists for ensuring architecture conformance in development projects • Based on Boeing work • Architecture Patterns • Distinguish from design patterns • Based on IBM, US Treasury work
TOGAF Version 7 (continued) • Architecture Principles • Extensive generic example • Based on US Air Force work • Business Scenarios • Method for identifying key business drivers and requirements for architecture work • Additional material based on Open Group CIO work • Model based representations of TOGAF Architecture Development Method and deliverables • Using METIS tool from Computas
TOGAF Version 7 (continued) • TOGAF comparison with other frameworks: • Federal Enterprise Architecture Framework (FEAF) • Federal Enterprise Architecture Guidance • Treasury Enterprise Architecture Framework (TEAF) • Spewak Enterprise Architecture Planning (EAP) • Zachman Framework • TOGAF in the Enterprise • TOGAF positioning relative to enterprise architecture • Guidelines for tailoring the TOGAF Architecture Development Method
TOGAF Version 8 TOGAF “Enterprise Edition” IT Architect Function / Skill Definitions IT Architect Certification TOGAF Support in COTS tools “TOGAF Tools Challenge” Target ADM Dec Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun July Sep Oct Nov TRM SIB BBIB 2002 Resource Base TOGAF Architecture Forum - Roadmap
Conclusion • The Open Group Architecture Forum: • The forum in which TOGAF is evolved • A worldwide forum for customers, tools vendors, solution vendors, integrators, academic & research organizations involved with architecture • Exchanging information, experience, and requirements • Access to current work in progress • Shaping the market for architecture methods, tools and services
