TOGAF 9 APPROACH

Architecture Capability Framework

Architecture Capability Implementing any capability within an organization would

require the design of the four domain architectures: Business, Data, Application, and Technology.

Establishing the architecture practice within an organization would therefore require the design of:1. The Business Architecture of the architecture practice that will

highlight the architecture governance, architecture processes, architecture organizational structure, architecture information requirements, architecture products, etc.

2. The Data Architecture that would define the structure of the organization’s Enter prise Continuum and Architecture Repository

3. The Application Architecture specifying the functionality and/or applications services required to enable the architecture practice

4. The Technology Architecture that depicts the architecture practice’s infrastructure requirements and deployment in support of the architecture applications and Enterprise Continuum
