Presentation

ArchiMate® - Adding Value to TOGAF™

This session will help you understand how ArchiMate® can be blended with TOGAF™ to provide an added layer of value for enterprise architects.

ArchiMate is an open and independent graphical modeling language, employed by many end-user organizations and supported by multiple tool vendors and consulting firms. Using ArchiMate and TOGAF together is an ideal match.

In this session, we take a close look at how ArchiMate relates to the TOGAF content framework and the Architecture Development Method (ADM). Illustrated with examples, we show the use of ArchiMate models throughout the ADM cycle, as well as how these models can be used to derive suitable views for different stakeholders. Additionally we examine how ArchiMate models support different types of analysis, e.g., gap analysis as used in TOGAF. Finally, we explain where the gaps are in the ArchiMate coverage of TOGAF, suggesting a possible future extension of ArchiMate with additional modeling domains.
