What is Architecture Development Method (ADM)?
This is the key component of TOGAF and provides a step-by-step approach for developing an enterprise architecture. It consists of a set of phases, activities, and guidelines that guide architects in creating and managing architectures.
What is Architecture Content Framework (ACF)?
The ACF defines the structure and organization of architectural artifacts within the enterprise architecture. It provides a common vocabulary and taxonomy for describing architecture content, including deliverables, artifacts, and building blocks.
What is the Architecture Repository?
The Architecture Repository is a managed repository that stores and manages architectural artifacts and related information. It serves as a central storehouse for all architecture-related outputs and enables reuse, version control, and access control.
What is Architecture Governance in TOGAF?
Architecture Governance establishes the processes and mechanisms to ensure that the enterprise architecture is aligned with business objectives and remains consistent, compliant, and effective. It defines roles, responsibilities, and decision-making processes for managing architectural changes.
What are TOGAF Reference Models?
TOGAF provides a set of reference models that offer generic templates and best practices for specific domains. These include the Technical Reference Model (TRM), the Integrated Information Infrastructure Reference Model (III-RM), and the Foundation Architecture.
What is the Architecture Capability Framework?
The Architecture Capability Framework defines the skills, competencies, roles, and organization structures required to establish and operate an effective architecture practice within an enterprise. It covers areas such as architecture skills, training, governance, and resource management.
What are TOGAF Tools?
TOGAF supports the use of various tools that facilitate architecture development, management, and communication. These tools include modeling tools, repository management tools, and collaboration platforms.
