Description

ADM Fundamentals provides students with a case study based experience with the Architecture Development (ADM) – a component of The Open Group Architecture Framework (TOGAF™). The course begins with an overview of the structure of ADM and its relationship to the Enterprise Continuum and Resource Base. The course discusses key architecture stakeholders and how to adapt the ADM to an organization. Students will discuss the foundation of sustainable enterprise architecture – requirements management and traceability. The course then describes how to capture a vision for the architecture and assess organizational readiness. Then the approach to evolving baseline and target architectures for the business, data, application, and technology domains is discussed along with gap and impact analysis. Then the course reviews effective migration strategies, piloting new implementations, governing architecture compliance and change management. Students that complete this course as a part of the APG TOGAF Certification Program will receive TOGAF certification from The Open Group.
