The TOGAF 9 certification program is a knowledge-based certification program. It has two levels, leading to certification for TOGAF 9 Foundation and TOGAF 9 Certified, respectively. The purpose of certification to TOGAF 9 Certified is to provide validation that, in addition to the knowledge and comprehension of TOGAF 9 Foundation level, the Candidate is able to analyze and apply this knowledge. The learning objectives at this level therefore focus on application and analysis in addition to knowledge and comprehension. This Study Guide supports students in preparation for the TOGAF 9 Part 2 Examination, leading to TOGAF 9 Certified.

Preface

This Document

This document is a Study Guide for TOGAF® 9 Certified.

It gives an overview of every learning objective for the TOGAF 9 Certified Syllabus beyond the Foundation level, and is specifically designed to help individuals prepare for certification.

The audience for this Study Guide is:

• Individuals who require a deeper understanding of TOGAF 9

• Professionals who are working in an organization where TOGAF 9 has been adopted and who need to participate in architecture projects and initiatives

• Architects who will be responsible for developing architecture artifacts

• Architects who wish to introduce TOGAF 9 into an architecture practice

• Architects who want to achieve a recognized qualification to demonstrate their detailed knowledge of TOGAF 9

• Architects who have achieved certification to TOGAF 8 Certified and who wish to upgrade their certification

This Study Guide assumes a prior knowledge equivalent to TOGAF 9 Foundation.

While reading this Study Guide, the reader should also refer to the TOGAF Version 9 documentation1 available online at www.opengroup.org/architecture/togaf9-doc/arch and also available as TOGAF Version 9 “The Book”.

The Study Guide is structured as follows:

• Chapter 1 (Introduction) provides a brief introduction to TOGAF certification and the TOGAF 9 examinations that lead to TOGAF 9 Certified, as well as how to use this Study Guide.

• Part 1: TOGAF 9 Architecture Development Method (ADM) comprises Chapters 2 through 13 and consists of a tour of the ADM phases:

1 TOGAF Version 9 (ISBN: 978-90-8753-230-7, G091), available at www.opengroup.org/bookstore/catalog/g091.htm.

— Chapter 2 describes the Preliminary Phase within the ADM. This chapter covers the preparation and initiation activities required to meet the business directive for a new enterprise architecture.

— Chapter 3 describes Phase A: Architecture Vision. This chapter covers the initial phase of an Architecture Development Cycle. It includes information about defining the scope, identifying the stakeholders, creating the Architecture Vision, and obtaining approvals.

— Chapter 4 describes Phase B: Business Architecture. This chapter covers the development of a Business Architecture to support an agreed Architecture Vision.

— Chapter 5 provides an introduction to Phase C: Information Systems Architectures. The next two chapters describe the details of the two parts of Phase C.

— Chapter 6 describes the development of the Data Architecture within Phase C.

— Chapter 7 describes the development of the Application Architecture within Phase C.

— Chapter 8 describes Phase D: Technology Architecture. The Technology Architecture is used as the basis of the following implementation work.

— Chapter 9 describes Phase E: Opportunities and Solutions. This phase conducts initial implementation planning and the identification of delivery vehicles for the architecture defined in the previous phases.

— Chapter 10 describes Phase F: Migration Planning. This phase finalizes a detailed sequence of Transition Architectures with a supporting Implementation and Migration Plan.

— Chapter 11 describes Phase G: Implementation Governance. This phase ensures that the implementation project conforms to the architecture.

— Chapter 12 describes Phase H: Architecture Change Management. This phase ensures that the architecture can respond to the needs of the enterprise as changes arise.

— Chapter 13 describes ADM Architecture Requirements Management, a process that applies throughout the ADM.

• Part 2: Guidelines for Adapting the ADM consists of three chapters:

— Chapter 14 describes how to apply iteration to the ADM, and how to apply the ADM at different enterprise levels.

— Chapter 15 describes security considerations during the application of the ADM.

— Chapter 16 describes SOA as an architectural style.

• Part 3: The Architecture Content Framework consists of a single chapter:

— Chapter 17 describes the Architecture Content Framework and the TOGAF Content Metamodel.

• Part 4: The Enterprise Continuum consists of two chapters:

— Chapter 18 describes Architecture Partitioning.

— Chapter 19 describes the Architecture Repository, which is a model for a physical instance of the Enterprise Continuum.

• Part 5: TOGAF Reference Models consists of two chapters:

— Chapter 20 describes the Technical Reference Model (TRM).

— Chapter 21 describes the Integrated Information Infrastructure Reference Model (III-RM).

• Part 6: Architecture Capability consists of three chapters:

— Chapter 22 describes the relationship between Architecture Governance and the ADM. It also describes how to establish and operate an Architecture Board.

— Chapter 23 describes Architecture Maturity Models.

— Chapter 24 describes the Architecture Skills Framework.

• Part 7: Bridging from TOGAF 8 Certified to TOGAF 9 Certified consists of a single chapter:

— Chapter 25 describes the differences between TOGAF 8 and TOGAF 9. This chapter is primarily for individuals who have achieved the TOGAF 8 Certified qualification, and who intend taking the TOGAF 8 – 9 Advanced Bridge Examination.

• Appendix A provides a Practice Test for Section 1 of the TOGAF 8 – 9 Advanced Bridge Examination.

• Appendix B provides a Practice Test for TOGAF 9 Part 2/Section 2 of the TOGAF 8 – 9 Advanced Bridge Examination.

• Appendix C provides the answers to the examination in Appendix A.

• Appendix D provides the answers to the examination in Appendix B.

• Appendix E provides the TOGAF 9 Certified Syllabus.

How to Use this Study Guide

The chapters in this Study Guide should be read in order. However, you may wish to use this Study Guide to study topics with which you are already familiar, and it is certainly possible to select topics for review in any order.

Where a topic requires further information from a later part in the syllabus, a cross-reference is provided.

Within each chapter are “Key Learning Points” and “Summary” sections that help you to easily identify what you need to know for each topic. Where applicable, a chapter has an “Exercises” section that will help you reinforce key learning points in the chapter.

Each chapter also has a “Recommended Reading” section that indicates relevant, additional sections of the TOGAF 9 document and other sources that should be read to obtain a full understanding of the subject material.

Finally, at the end of this Study Guide are two “Test Yourself ” examination papers that can be used to test your readiness to take the official TOGAF examination. Two papers are provided so that this guide covers both the TOGAF 9 Part 2 Examination as well as the TOGAF 8 – 9 Advanced Bridge Examination.

Conventions Used in this Study Guide

About TOGAF

TOGAF is an architecture framework – The Open Group Architecture Framework. TOGAF is a tool for assisting in the acceptance, production, use, and maintenance of enterprise architectures. It is based on an iterative process model supported by best practices and a re-usable set of existing architectural assets.

TOGAF is developed and maintained by The Open Group Architecture Forum. The first version of TOGAF, developed in 1995, was based on the US Department of Defense Technical Architecture Framework for Information Management (TAFIM). Starting from this sound foundation, The Open Group Architecture Forum has developed successive versions of TOGAF at regular intervals and published each one on The Open Group public web site.
