TOGAF
Role of TOGAF
- TOGAF in its Enterprise Edition remains what it has always been, namely an architecture framework - a set of methods and tools for developing a broad range of different IT architectures. It enables IT, users, to design, evaluate, and build the right architecture for their organization and reduces the costs of planning, designing, and implementing architectures based on open systems solutions.
- The key to TOGAF remains a reliable, practical method - the TOGAF Architecture Development Method (ADM) - for defining business needs and developing an architecture that meets those needs, utilizing the elements of TOGAF and other architectural assets available to the organization.
- The goal of The Open Group with TOGAF is to work towards making the TOGAF ADM just such an industry-standard method, which is neutral towards tools and technologies, and can be used for developing the products associated with any recognized enterprise framework such as the Zachman Framework, Federal Enterprise Architecture Framework (FEAF), Treasury Enterprise Architecture Framework (TEAF), and C4ISR/DoD Framework.
