TOGAF for Government

Strategic Process

Segment and Capability Process

TOGAF Value Proposition

Panel Discussion / Q&A

Agenda


FEA has well defined reference architectures

OMB, CIO Council has provided guidance on process

FSAM provides guidance for segment architectures

But architects need…

More granular process information

More templates, examples of outputs

Common language

The Situation


Augment Practice Guidance, FEA, FSAM with TOGAF

TOGAF ADM is a well defined process

Templates and formats for outputs available

Accepted globally – provides common language

Popular EA tools have FEA and TOGAF modules

TOGAF maps well to FEA, FSAM and FEA Guidance

TOGAF is meant to to be tailored – don’t throw anything away

TOGAF ADM can also map to DoDAF

A Potential Solution


The Open Group Architectural Framework, v 9

Developed by consensus in The Open Group

Federal roots - DoD’s TAFIM

Architecture Development Method is well proven

80% of Fortune 50 use TOGAF

Wide public sector use

UK Government

New York State

Well accepted among Federal contractors

FEA Practice Guidance – “does not cover enterprise architecture (EA) development and maintenance since there is already a broad body of knowledge on these topics.”

TOGAF – Hundreds of pages EA design and implementation

Example - ADM Business Architecture Phase

9 major steps, many with sub-steps

21 described artifacts

Based on industry best practice worldwide

EA Process Guidance


USDA Case Study Conclusions

“TOGAF and the FEA provided a good combination for planning a large

government-based modernization project.”

“TOGAF’s ADM is an excellent complement to RUP, as it addresses the development and maintenance of an Enterprise Architecture and provides key inputs to a RUP based, project-level plan.”

Greg Lettow, Jim Odrowski

TOGAF, FEA both driven by Business domain

TOGAF completes four FEA domains Business

Service Component (called Application in TOGAF)

Data

Technology

Through tailoring Can accommodate fifth FEA domain – Performance

Can be tailored for future domains - e.g. Security

TOGAF Architectural Domains


All ADM phases have suggested inputs and outputs

Most outputs have templates and examples

Most can be mapped to FEA/FSAM

TOGAF Templates and Examples


ADM maps well to FEA, FSAM, CIO Guidance provides a repeatable process

provides needed process detail

Certified Tools can provide templates and outlines

TOGAF is an open standard technology and vendor neutral

intended to be tailored

Inexpensive to use

Value Proposition: TOGAF and FEA/FSAM


TOGAF is industry standard

Consulting resources are available 10,000+ TOGAF Certified Architects globally

Many among large Federal contractors

Small firms also available

TOGAF simplifies communication with Architecture teams

Vendors

Consultants

Value Proposition: TOGAF and FEA/FSAM
