TOGAF Foundation

In the course TOGAF Foundation from SpiralTrain, participants learn to use the TOGAF Framework when designing an Enterprise Architecture and to apply TOGAF concepts in projects.

Intro to TOGAF

The TOGAF course begins with an introduction to Enterprise Architecture and the role TOGAF plays within it. Participants will explore the benefits of adopting TOGAF in organizations and get familiar with its structure, including the Architecture Development Method (ADM), content framework, and governance models.

TOGAF Core Concepts

Next, participants dive into TOGAF's core concepts, including the four architecture domains: business, data, application, and technology. The module explores deliverables, artifacts, and building blocks.

TOGAF ADM

The Architecture Development Method (ADM) forms the backbone of TOGAF. This module provides an overview of the ADM phases and the architecture development cycle. Participants learn how to define architecture principles, shape architecture vision, and adapt the ADM to specific needs.

Reference Models

This module focuses on the various reference models used within TOGAF, such as the Technical Reference Model and the Infrastructure Reference Model. It also covers architecture maturity models, microservices architecture, and digital business frameworks.

ADM Phases

Here, participants explore the individual ADM phases in detail. Topics include business architecture, capability mapping, operational models, business process modeling, and the development of information system architectures.

Capability Framework

In this module, participants learn about the TOGAF Capability Framework and how it supports effective Enterprise Architecture implementation. Key topics include governance principles, change management, the role of the architecture board, architecture contracts, transition planning, and continuous improvement techniques.

Exam Preparation

Finally, the course wraps up with focused preparation for the TOGAF Foundation exam. This includes an overview of the exam format, sample questions, practical exercises, and proven strategies for time management and answering effectively.

Audience Course TOGAF Foundation

The course TOGAF Foundation is intended for Enterprise, IT and Solution Architects and Business Analysts who are involved in the Enterprise Architecture of a company.

Prerequisites TOGAF Foundation Course

No TOGAF knowledge is required to participate in the course. Basic knowledge of IT and business strategy is certainly useful.

Implementation of TOGAF Foundation Training

Explanation using presentations and case studies are followed by practical exercises. Sample questions from the TOGAF Foundation exam are also discussed.

TOGAF Foundation Certificate

After successfully completing the course, participants will receive a certificate of participation in TOGAF Foundation.
