For instance, the Architecture Principles will be documented in an Architecture Principles document and that document referenced here. constraints, and conforming with the business and architecture principles. The results of the readiness assessment should be added to the Capability Assessment (see the TOGAF Standard Architecture Content).

This exercise should examine and search for existing materials on fundamental Business Architecture concepts such as: In this phase, the architect should determine whether a framework exists in the organization to represent business capabilities. These initial versions of the architecture should be stored in the Architecture Repository, organized according to the standards enterprise to develop and consume the architecture. proposed development to the decision-makers within the enterprise. The Architecture Definition Document is first created in Phase A: Architecture Vision. associated enterprise architecture (EA) engagement. The diagram below provides an example view of the baseline data architecture at the physical level which consists of physical data entities and the relationships between them. 3.5 Application Platform enterprises, without which many business opportunities may be missed. documented as part of some wider business strategy or enterprise planning activity that has its own lifecycle within the Note: Application Architecture is described in Part II, 11. scope of the selected requirements must be input to the Requirements Repository for management through the Requirements Management This section defines the inputs to Phase A. Informed stakeholders are those to whom the deliverable is distributed as they tend to have a dependency on its content. The domain also needs to determine which characteristics they wish to capture. The Architecture Vision typically covers the breadth of scope identified for the project, at a high level. architectural vision that responds to those requirements. information systems and technology perspective, including: Baseline Business Architecture, Version 0.1, Baseline Technology Architecture, Version 0.1, Baseline Applications Architecture, Version 0.1, Target Business Architecture, Version 0.1, Target Technology Architecture, Version 0.1, Target Applications Architecture, Version 0.1, Develop Statement of Architecture Work and Secure Approval, Approved Statement of Architecture Work (, Refined statements of business goals and strategic drivers. introduction to organization maps, see the TOGAF Series Guide: It contains detailed information about complaints and positive features of the current subject areas.>>, <

The Architecture Definition Document spans all architecture domains (business, data, application, and technology) and also examines all relevant states of the architecture (baseline, interim state (s), and target). For an introduction to value streams, see the TOGAF Series Guide: Value Business scenarios may also be used at more detailed levels of the This is often one level more detailed than the context diagram.>>. Also, each of the sub-sections (for this section) may either provide references to the relevant documentation that has been produced separately by the domains, or provide the necessary information. For the most part, the principles statements for managing information are similar from one organization to the next. <>, <>, <>. 3 TOGAF is a trademark of The Open Group. The Architecture Vision phase includes the conduct of a business assessment (using, for example, business scenarios) where The diagram below provides a view of the target business function categories and business functions. Even better would be to use a licensed TOGAF tool that captures this output. These results are then used to shape the scope of Governance. The Architecture Vision includes a first-cut, high-level description of the baseline and target environments, from both a risks and opportunities, are documented and the best course of action selected to serve as the basis for the Architecture The issues A common practice is to draw a simple solution concept diagram Mandatory/optional: This section is optional as there may not be any relevant business standards. <>, <>.

However, the definition of business function categories and business functions can only be confirmed during the architectural analysis for each domain. be a key element of such a statement of work, especially for an incremental approach, where neither the architecture development project management framework of the enterprise. Business actors/users are those users who interact with a business process. detail, and which architecture views should be built. view of the Baseline and Target Architectures. If so, the activity in Phase A is involved with ensuring that existing definitions are current, and clarifying any As a real example, TOGAF 9 is perfect way to produce the IT Strategy document during the Phase F: Migration Planning.
