TOGAF, an Open Group
Standard, is a proven Enter-
prise Architecture methodology
and framework used by the world’s
leading organisations to improve

First published in 1995, TOGAF was
based on the US Department of De-
fence Technical Architecture Frame-
work for Information Management
(TAFIM). From this sound foundation,
The Open Group Architecture Forum
has developed successive versions
of TOGAF at regular intervals and
published them on The Open Group
public web site.
TOGAF Version 9.1 is a maintenance
update to TOGAF 9, addressing
comments raised since the introduc-
tion of TOGAF 9 in 2009. It retains
the major features and structure of
TOGAF 9, thereby preserving existing
investment in TOGAF, and adds fur-
ther detail and clarification to what is
already proven.

TOGAF FOUNDATION TRAINING:
• Those requiring a basic under-
standing of TOGAF 9
• Professionals working in roles
associated with an architecture
project such as those respon-
sible for planning, execution,
development, delivery, and
operation
• Architects who are looking
for a first introduction to the
TOGAF 9 standard
• Architects who want to achieve
Level 2 certification
TOGAF CERTIFIED TRAINING:
• Those requiring a deeper un-
derstanding of the TOGAF 9
• Professionals working in an
organisation where the TOGAF
9 standard has been adopted
and who need to participate
in architecture projects and
initiatives
• Architects responsible for de-
veloping architecture artifacts
• Architects who wish to intro-
duce the TOGAF 9 standard
into an architecture practice.
TOGAF 9 qualification provides a
trusted, vendor-neutral, globally
recognised and portable credential.
TOGAF is the open enterprise archi-
tecture standard used by the world’s
leading organisations to improve
business efficiency. The TOGAF
Certification Program has ena-
bled more than 20,000 enterprise
architects and trainers around the
globe to demonstrate their proven
knowledge of the framework. Certi-
fication is achieved through a two-
part exam, following a course of
self-study or an Accredited TOGAF 9
Training Course.
The Architecture Development Method (ADM) forms the core of TOGAF and
is a method for deriving organisation-specific enterprise architecture. The
ADM provides a tested and repeatable process for developing architectures.
The ADM includes establishing an architecture framework, developing archi-
tecture content, transitioning, and governing the realisation of architectures.
All of these activities are carried out within an iterative cycle of continuous
architecture definition and realisation that allows organisations to transform
their enterprises in a controlled manner in response to business goals and
opportunities.
Throughout the ADM cycle, there should be frequent validation of results
against the original requirements, both those for the whole ADM cycle, and
those for the particular phase of the process. Such validation should recon-
sider scope, detail, schedules, and milestones. Each phase should consider
assets produced from previous iterations of the process and external assets
from the marketplace, such as other frameworks or models.

TACT is Syzygal’s pro-
prietary methodology
for developing courses
and courseware
As part of doctoral research,
Syzygal have developed a unique
approach to developing and
designing professional education
courses and courseware. Rather
than utilising tired and over-used
methods such as working straight
from a syllabus, Syzygal decided to
research the key elements of effec-
tive learning. What we found was
that although dynamic and flexible
delivery methods were essential to
the overall experience for students,
it was the approach to content
formulation and positioning that
was critical to maximising learning
up-take and knowledge retention.
The THEORY of a subject is obvi-
ously critical to success, but ensur-
ing it is positioned in contextual
alignment is the pay-off. We then
ensure students ABSORB the the-
ory by placing them in real-world
scenarios and role-plays, ensuring
the theory connects to practical
application. To support this we
CONSOLIDATE the learning by us-
ing innovative games and exercises
to further develop understanding
and retention. Finally we ensure
TESTING takes place throughout
training events which prepares
the student to take their formal
certification.
