For trainers free additional material of this book is available. This can be found under the 'Training Material' tab. Log in with your trainer account to access the material. 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. This third edition contains minor updates to remove references to the TOGAF 8-9 Advanced Bridge Examination1 and also adds four bonus practice examination questions to Appendix B. It gives an overview of every learning objective for the TOGAF 9 Certified Syllabus beyond the Foundation level.

Preface

This Document

This document is a Study Guide for TOGAF® 9 Certified. It is based on Version 2 of the TOGAF Certification for People Conformance Requirements and is aligned to TOGAF Version 9.1. This third edition contains minor updates to remove references to the TOGAF 8-9 Advanced Bridge Examination1 and also adds four bonus practice examination questions to Appendix B.

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

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 documentation2 available online at www.opengroup.org/architecture/togaf9-doc/arch and also available as a hardcopy 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:

 

–   Chapter 2 describes the Preliminary Phase within the ADM. This chapter covers the preparation and initiation activities required to create an Architecture Capability.

–   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 identifies major implementation projects and groups them into work packages that deliver the Target Architecture defined in the previous phases.

–   Chapter 10 describes Phase F: Migration Planning. This phase develops a detailed Implementation and Migration Plan addressing how to move from the Baseline to the Target Architecture.

–   Chapter 11 describes Phase G: Implementation Governance. This phase ensures that the implementation projects conform to the architecture.

–   Chapter 12 describes Phase H: Architecture Change Management. This phase ensures that the architecture capability 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.

•   Appendix A provides a Practice Test for the TOGAF 9 Part 2 Examination.

•   Appendix B provides provides four bonus practice questions for the TOGAF 9 Part 2 Examination.

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

•   Appendix D provides the answers to the bonus practice questions 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 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 is a “Test Yourself” examination paper that can be used to test your readiness to take the official TOGAF 9 Part 2 examination. This paper is designed to include the same question formats and a similar difficulty level to the official TOGAF 9 Part 2 examination. In addition to the examination paper, four bonus practice questions are also provided.
