TOGAF® for Practitioners - Level 1 & 2

Overview:

Introduction

TOGAF® V9.2 is the foremost generic framework in the field of Enterprise Architecture (EA). This course provides guidance on what to do to establish an architecture practice and how to use it in connection with planning the longer-term transformation of the enterprise (strategic architecture), and designing capabilities to support and sustain the transformation. This TOGAF® course examines how practitioners can base their activities on a set of well-defined processes. It examines the framework as a whole, including the numerous techniques to assist in organizing, governing and now in this version, describing, architecture. It incorporates recommendations on how to adapt the framework to deal with issues such as Security and Service-oriented Architecture. This training prepares participants to take the combined TOGAF® 9.2 Foundation and Certified exams (Level 1 & 2).
