TOGAF® EA Foundation and Practitioner – Practitioner

The TOGAF® Standard, The Open Group Standard, is a proven Enterprise Architecture methodology and framework used by the world’s leading organizations to improve business efficiency. It is the most prominent and reliable Enterprise Architecture standard, ensuring consistent standards, methods, and communication among Enterprise Architecture professionals. Enterprise Architecture professionals fluent in the TOGAF® Standard enjoy greater industry credibility, job effectiveness, and career opportunities.

The TOGAF® Standard is an update providing improved guidance, correcting errors, improving the document structure, and removing obsolete content. Key enhancements made in this version include updates to the Business Architecture and the Content Metamodel. All of these changes make the TOGAF® Standard easier to use and maintain.

The standard is divided into seven parts:

• PART I (Introduction): This part provides a high-level introduction to the key concepts of Enterprise Architecture and in particular the TOGAF® Standard approach. It contains the definitions of terms used throughout the TOGAF® Standard and release notes detailing the changes between this version and the previous version of TOGAF® Standard.
• PART II (Architecture Development Method): This is the core of the TOGAF® Standard. It describes the Architecture Development Method (ADM) – a step-by-step approach to developing an Enterprise Architecture.
• PART III (ADM Guidelines & Techniques): This part contains a collection of guidelines and techniques available for use in applying the TOGAF® Standard and the ADM.
• PART IV (Architecture Content Framework): This part describes the TOGAF® Standard, including a structured metamodel for architectural artifacts, the use of re-usable architecture building blocks, and an overview of typical architecture deliverables.
• PART V (Enterprise Continuum & Tools): This part discusses appropriate taxonomies and tools to categorize and store the outputs of architecture activity within an enterprise.
• PART VI (TOGAF Reference Models): This part provides a selection of architectural reference models, which includes the TOGAF® Standard Foundation Architecture, and the Integrated Information Infrastructure Reference Model (III-RM).
• PART VII (Architecture Capability Framework): This part discusses the organization, processes, skills, roles, and responsibilities required to establish and operate an architecture function within an enterprise.

The TOGAF® EA Foundation and Practitioner – Practitioner  content focuses on the practical application of TOGAF® Standard, building on the foundational knowledge and comprehension of the foundation course, using practical scenarios to enforce concepts. The practitioner certification is automatically achieved after passing the  practitioner exam.
