Tutorial: Doing Enterprise Architecture with TOGAF™
Jason Uppal, Chief Architect, QRS

This interactive session will focus on how TOGAF™ - the premier global framework to define, develop and exploit information capabilities - can be used to answer two fundamental questions:

1. What are the quick wins by doing EA
2. How can EA become the norm in an enterprise?

Topics to be discussed include:

• Concept of Artefacts and Deliverables in TOGAF
• Iterative approach to Architecture Definition
• Rationale for doing Enterprise Architecture as described in TOGAF
• Context for Quick Wins
• Architecture for Quick Wins (sample architecture artefacts)
• Context for EA as a part of Enterprise‚s operating fabric
• How to transition our organizations to it
• Common mistakes organizations make
• What can you do differently and not get fired

Audience:
Solution Architects, Enterprise Architects and Planners, Domain Architects

Key takeaways:

1. Quick Wins - how can you construct a pragmatic context for architecture work and define what set of artefacts and deliverables should be developed to answer stakeholders key concerns.

The approach is aimed to further integrate business architecture and IT architecture into a coherent Enterprise Architecture.

Take Aways:

1. The use of the TOGAF 9 Meta Model as a vehicle to link business pain points, objective and success factor to the EA and the EA engagement.
2. Making use of value measures to explicitly show business potentials and values in the EA.
3. A continuous improvement cycle of architecture disciplines to link Business to Value to IT to Performance.
