🖼️ TOGAF 10 Diagrams

The key figures from the TOGAF Standard, 10th Edition, redrawn for revision — plus a TOGAF 9.2 → 10 map.

These are original re-drawings. The official figures are © The Open Group and licensed to your training provider, so they aren't reproduced on this public site. Each card names the document and figure number so you can open the original in your BoK PDF (2. TOGAF-EA-BoK).

Architecture Development Cycle

Architecture Capability iteration (Prelim, A)
Architecture Development iteration (B, C, D)
Transition Planning iteration (E, F)
Architecture Governance iteration (G, H)
⚡ Four suggested iteration cycles group related phases. The ADM is iterative, not a one-off waterfall.

The TOGAF® Standard, 10th Edition
TOGAF Fundamental Content — 6 documents
  1. 1Introduction and Core Concepts
  2. 2Architecture Development Method
  3. 3ADM Techniques
  4. 4Applying the ADM
  5. 5Architecture Content
  6. 6Enterprise Architecture Capability and Governance
Core, stable, free-standing but linked.
TOGAF Series Guides
  • ▸ Business Architecture
  • ▸ Information Architecture
  • ▸ Security Architecture
  • ▸ EA / Agile Architecture
  • ▸ EA / Digital Enterprise
  • ▸ Technology Architecture
  • ▸ MSA / SOA Architectures
  • ▸ Adapting the ADM
  • ▸ … and more
Practical guidance for specific needs; evolves faster than the core. TRM (G175) and III-RM are Series Guides.
TOGAF Library — wider portfolio of guidance and reference material
⚡ Standard = Fundamental Content (6 documents) + Series Guides. Know the six document names.

⚡ Four levels, two continua. "Adaptation for use" goes generic → specific; "Generalization for future re-use" goes back.

Architecture Repository Structure

T16 →
Architecture Repository — 8 components (TOGAF 10)
Architecture Metamodel
tailored framework + metamodel
Architecture Capability
parameters, structures, processes for governing the repository
Architecture Landscape
ABB view of assets at a point in time (Strategic / Segment / Capability)
Solutions Landscape
the SBBs supporting the Architecture Landscape
Standards Library
standards new architectures must comply with
Reference Library
guidelines, templates, patterns, reference models
Governance Repository
record of governance activity
Architecture Requirements Repository
authorized requirements agreed with the Architecture Board
TOGAF 9 names: Standards Information Base → Standards Library; Governance Log → Governance Repository.
⚡ Eight components. TOGAF 10 says Standards Library and Governance Repository.

Deliverables, Artifacts & Building Blocks

T15 →
Deliverable (signed off)e.g. Architecture Definition DocumentArtifact — CatalogArtifact — MatrixArtifact — DiagramdescribeBuilding BlocksABB (spec)SBB (product)
⚡ Deliverables contain artifacts; artifacts describe building blocks.

Levels of Architecture Conformance

T18 →
Irrelevantno features in common with the spec
Consistentsome features in common, implemented per spec
Compliantsome spec features missing, but all implemented features follow the spec
Conformantall spec features implemented per spec, plus extra non-spec features
Fully Conformantfull correspondence between spec and implementation
Non-conformantspec features implemented, but NOT per spec
Compliant = did LESS than the spec · Conformant = did MORE than the spec.
⚡ Six terms. Compliant = less than the spec; Conformant = more than the spec.

Four Levels of Architecture Abstraction

ContextualWhy?environment, scope, motivation (goals, drivers, objectives)
ConceptualWhat?functionality and other requirements to be met
LogicalHow?how the functionality is structured
PhysicalWith what?the assets used to implement the structure
⚡ Contextual (why) · Conceptual (what) · Logical (how) · Physical (with what).
