Special Pre-Conference Tutorial: 

Tutorial : An Introduction to TOGAF

Sunday 19th October 2008, 16:00-17:00

Overview

The Open Group Architecture Framework (TOGAF) is a comprehensive framework and methodology which enables the design, evaluation and implementation of the right Architecture for an Enterprise. It has been evolved continuously within The Open Group's Architecture Forum over the past twelve years, and its development has been guided by and based on the knowledge and experience of Open Group members who are practicing Enterprise and IT Architects working for a wide range of enterprises throughout the world.

This tutorial describes what the Architecture Forum has achieved so far in the development of the "Enterprise Edition" of TOGAF, Version 8, and shows how the Forum is responding to new challenges. Topics covered include: The Open Group Architecture Forum; the motivation for developing TOGAF; TOGAF components; the TOGAF Architecture Development Method (ADM); other aspects of TOGAF; other activities of the Architecture Forum; plans for the future.

 Certification Discussion (2 hours)

Objective: to define the forward roadmap for TOGAF 9 Certification

This is a 2 hour (time-bound) session dedicated to presenting proposal options regarding TOGAF 9 certification to the general forum and to get feedback, guidance and  decisions on particular options. The format is:

Background and Level Set (10 minutes)
Presentations of Proposals to Address Key Issues (approximately 7 major issues)(15 minutes per issue)
- Presentation of Issue and Objective of Dealing with Issue (2 minutes
- elevator pitch)
- Presentation of Approaches to Address Issue (2 minutes per approach -elevator pitch)
-- Approach is supplemented with rationale, implications, pros, and cons (part of elevator pitch)
- Discussion on preferred approach or general input (8 minutes discussion)

Ground rules:
Presenters of proposal will stick to the timelines and will stick to presenting the dashboard. The Presenters will not use the event to advertize their particular organizations approach to training, they must represent an option that has backing of a segment of The Open Group. Presenters in no way shall comment on the quality of another training organization.

Forum participants are expected to ask questions of clarification and provide input at the appropriate time adhering to the schedule. Please keep in mind that forum participants should not be adding new proposal options.

If an issue can not be dealt with within the limited timeframe we will move it to an alternate consensus path.

Background materials:
