Java2Days 2017 Enterprise Architecture for IT-Specialists & IT-Architects Every enterprise has an IT architecture Some are designed and some just happen
Java2Days 2017 Enterprise Architecture for IT-Specialists & IT-Architects What we need to go EA! Knowledgeable and professional practitioners Knowledgeable and professional practitioners Support tools at all levels A good architecture framework Striving to achieve a total, practical, architectural solution
Java2Days 2017 Enterprise Architecture for IT-Specialists & IT-Architects In a Nutshell Enterprise Architecture = Strategy + Business + Technology EA = S + B + T
Java2Days 2017 Enterprise Architecture for IT-Specialists & IT-Architects A good IT architecture will: ● Directly address the needs of the enterprise ● React to change at the rate dictated by the enterprise’s markets ● Be understood and supported by senior management ● Clearly define the structure of the existing system ● Provide a roadmap and migration strategy for future purchases / developments ● Reduce the number and complexity of the interfaces between components, improving the ease of: ● Application portability ● Component upgrade ● Component exchange ● Component development and maintenance

Java2Days 2017 Enterprise Architecture for IT-Specialists & IT-Architects TOGAF Origins and Motivations A customer initiative: ● Formal user requirement developed 1994 ● Main themes: ● A single, unifying Architectural Framework for the IT industry ● A framework for developing architectures to meet specific business needs ● not a “one-size-fits- all” architecture ● Originally based on TAFIM (U.S. DoD)
Java2Days 2017 Enterprise Architecture for IT-Specialists & IT-Architects History • Customer members demand architecture standards … • DoD Information Systems Agency (DISA) donate TAFIM as base • TOGAF first published • Customer members select TAFIM as preferred starting point… ‘93 • TOGAF 7 – Technical Edition ‘94 ‘96 ‘02 TOGAF 8 – Enterprise Edition First TOGAF Certification Program Launched • The Interoperable Enterprise Business Scenario first published ‘01 ‘03 ‘09 ‘06 TOGAF 8.1.1 TOGAF 9.1 ‘11
Java2Days 2017 Enterprise Architecture for IT-Specialists & IT-Architects Why TOGAF® ? Vendor, tool and technology neutral open standard Avoids re-inventing the wheel A comprehensive general method Widely adopted in the market Available under a free perpetual license Tailorable to meet an organization and industry needs Possible to participate in the evolution of the framework Business IT alignment Complementary to, not competing with, other frameworks
Java2Days 2017 Enterprise Architecture for IT-Specialists & IT-Architects The Architecture Development Method The core of TOGAF A proven way of developing an architecture Specifically designed to address business requirements An iterative method A set of architecture views to ensure that a complex set of requirements are adequately addressed
Java2Days 2017 Enterprise Architecture for IT-Specialists & IT-Architects ADM – Basic Principles ● An iterative method, over the whole process, between phases and within phases ● Each iteration = new decisions: ● Enterprise coverage ● Level of detail ● Time horizon ● Architecture asset re-use: ● previous ADM iterations ● other frameworks, system models, industry models,… ● Decisions based on: ● Competence / resource availability
Java2Days 2017 Enterprise Architecture for IT-Specialists & IT-Architects ADM Phases Prepare the organization for a successful architecture project Ensure that every stage of a TOGAF project is based on and validates business requirements Set the scope, constraints and expectations for a TOGAF project; create the Architecture Vision; validate the business context; create the Statement of Architecture Work Develop Business Architecture Develop baseline and target architectures and analyze the gaps Develop Information Systems Architectures Develop baseline and target architectures and analyze the gaps Develop Technology Architecture Develop baseline and target architectures and analyze the gaps Perform initial implementation planning; identify major implementation projects Analyze costs, benefits and risks; develop detailed Implementation and Migration Plan Provide architectural oversight for the implementation; ensure that the implementation project conforms to the architecture Provide continual monitoring and a change management process to ensure that the architecture responds to the needs of the enterprise
Java2Days 2017 Enterprise Architecture for IT-Specialists & IT-Architects ADM Guidelines and Techniques ● The guidelines help to adapt the ADM to deal with different scenarios, including different process styles (e.g. the use of iteration) and also specific requirements (e.g. security). ● The techniques support specific tasks within the ADM (e.g. defining principles, business scenarios, gap analysis, migration planning, risk management, etc).
