TOGAF® EA – Foundation – Virtual Classroom

By completing the 2-day TOGAF® EA – Foundation course with EA Learning, you will benefit from the quantum leap The Open Group has made with TOGAF® Standard, 10th Edition (released in 2022) since Version 9.2 (released in 2018). Much has evolved in business, technology, and general EA practice, and this substantial release crosses the chasm and integrates universal concepts, best practices, and thought leadership. The next generation TOGAF® Standard, 10th Edition is your pathway to creating value through the discipline of enterprise architecture. In today’s disruptive world, learn the concepts required to design an enterprise that is responsive to change, value-driven, resilient, and empowers autonomous teams.

Our presenters, who are themselves highly experienced practitioners, add valuable insights during our classes and can pass on their practical wisdom.

The significant themes for the TOGAF® Standard, 10th Edition

The TOGAF® standard, 10th Edition is a paradigm shift from 9.2 integrating universal concepts, proven best practices, and emerging ideas.

From Monolith to Micro Services:
As part of The Open Group’s evolution ‘from universal to unique’ the one monolithic document 9.2 has become six separate documents known as the Fundamental Content (the universal concepts). Also included are 20 series guides, which will grow over time, for specialist content (best practice). This speaks to specific types of architecture, for example Applying the TOGAF ADM using Agile Sprints or Integrating Risk and Security within a TOGAF Architecture. Finally, the introduction of bodies of knowledge (BOK) for different learning outcomes including Enterprise Architecture, Business Architecture, Specialist, and Leader. It is noted that more will follow to enable differing learning pathways.

Easier Adoption:
An online digital standard has been introduced with a much-simplified navigation. This paves the way for easier adoption. As each enterprise is unique, the specialist guidance may or may not apply. For example, you may be undergoing a significant digital transformation but not be using Agile. Use the distinct hierarchy of content that fits with your unique enterprise.

Extended Guidance for Practitioners, Leaders, and Specialists:
The companion guides talk about the various roles within Enterprise Architecture. How do I set up an EA Practice? How do I apply Business Architecture? What reference models should I use? What security architecture should I apply? The Whole Enterprise Approach is the sum of its equal parts.

Learning Pathways:
Several learning pathways exist that focus on a group of learners and their respective skills set. Micro-credentials can be earned in line with career progression including Foundation, Practitioner, Specialist, and other credentials such as Leader, Agile Specialist, and Digital Specialist.
