Description

TOGAF Asset and Resource Overview provides students a case study based experience with the TOGAF (TOGAF™) Enterprise Continuum and TOGAF Resource Base. Beginning with an overview of the key component of the Enterprise Continuum – the Architecture Continuum, Solutions Continuum, and Foundation Architecture – the course then discusses the Technical Reference Model (TRM) and its application and platform taxonomies. Students are then introduced to the Standards Information Base (SIB). The course explains how the Integrated Information Infrastructure Reference Model (III-RM) enables enterprise interoperability via Boundaryless Information Flow™. Key elements of the TOGAF Resource Base are discussed such as architecture maturity/skills/ principles, business scenarios, and case studies. Then students focus on describing architecture views using various frameworks. The course concludes with a discussion of architecture and solution building blocks and critical success factors for tool adoption. Students that complete this course as a part of the APG TOGAF Certification Program will receive TOGAF certification from The Open Group.
