TOGAF, an Open Group
Standard, is a proven Enter-
prise Architecture methodology
and framework used by the world’s
leading organisations to improve
business efficiency. It is the most
prominent and reliable Enterprise
Architecture standard, ensuring
consistent standards, methods, and
communication among Enterprise
Architecture professionals. Enterprise
Architecture professionals fluent in
the TOGAF standard enjoy greater
industry credibility, job effectiveness,
and career opportunities. TOGAF
helps practitioners avoid being
locked into proprietary methods,
utilise resources more efficiently
and effectively, and realise a greater
return on investment.
First published in 1995, TOGAF was
based on the US Department of De-
fence Technical Architecture Frame-
work for Information Management
(TAFIM). From this sound foundation,
The Open Group Architecture Forum
has developed successive versions
of TOGAF at regular intervals and
published them on The Open Group
public web site.
TOGAF Version 9.1 is a maintenance
update to TOGAF 9, addressing
comments raised since the introduc-
tion of TOGAF 9 in 2009. It retains
the major features and structure of
TOGAF 9, thereby preserving existing
investment in TOGAF, and adds fur-
ther detail and clarification to what is
already proven.
TOGAF FOUNDATION TRAINING

TOGAF CERTIFIED TRAINING
The purpose of certification for
TOGAF 9 Level 2, known as TOGAF 9
Certified, is to provide validation that
in addition to the knowledge and

Framework
• Stakeholder Management
Technique
• The TOGAF Content Metamodel
• TOGAF techniques when devel-
oping an Enterprise Architecture

Infrastructure Reference Model
• The content of the key delivera-
bles of the ADM cycle
• How Enterprise Architecture can
be partitioned to meet the spe-
cific needs of an organisation
• The purpose of the Architecture
Repository
• Applying iteration and levels of
architecture with the ADM
• Adapting the ADM for security
• SOA as a style of architecture
• Architecture maturity models

Who should attend TOGAF® 9 training?
Making enterprise architecture work
TOGAF FOUNDATION TRAINING:
• Those requiring a basic under-
standing of TOGAF 9
• Professionals working in roles
associated with an architecture
project such as those respon-
sible for planning, execution,
development, delivery, and
operation
• Architects who are looking
for a first introduction to the
TOGAF 9 standard
• Architects who want to achieve
Level 2 certification
TOGAF CERTIFIED TRAINING:
• Those requiring a deeper un-
derstanding of the TOGAF 9
• Professionals working in an
organisation where the TOGAF
9 standard has been adopted
and who need to participate
in architecture projects and
initiatives
• Architects responsible for de-
veloping architecture artifacts
• Architects who wish to intro-
duce the TOGAF 9 standard
into an architecture practice.
TOGAF 9 qualification provides a
trusted, vendor-neutral, globally
recognised and portable credential.
TOGAF is the open enterprise archi-
tecture standard used by the world’s
leading organisations to improve
business efficiency. The TOGAF
Certification Program has ena-
bled more than 20,000 enterprise
architects and trainers around the
globe to demonstrate their proven
knowledge of the framework. Certi-
fication is achieved through a two-
part exam, following a course of
self-study or an Accredited TOGAF 9
Training Course.
The Architecture Development Method (ADM) forms the core of TOGAF and
is a method for deriving organisation-specific enterprise architecture. The
ADM provides a tested and repeatable process for developing architectures.
The ADM includes establishing an architecture framework, developing archi-
tecture content, transitioning, and governing the realisation of architectures.
All of these activities are carried out within an iterative cycle of continuous
architecture definition and realisation that allows organisations to transform
their enterprises in a controlled manner in response to business goals and
opportunities.
Throughout the ADM cycle, there should be frequent validation of results
against the original requirements, both those for the whole ADM cycle, and
those for the particular phase of the process. Such validation should recon-
sider scope, detail, schedules, and milestones. Each phase should consider
assets produced from previous iterations of the process and external assets
from the marketplace, such as other frameworks or models.

Syzygal professional training helps career focused individuals differentiate them-selves and build suc-cessful careers.
The TOGAF® 9.1 standard The TOGAF 9.1 standard is divided into seven parts:
• PART I (Introduction): This part provides a high-level introduction to the key concepts of Enterprise Architecture and in
particular the TOGAF approach. It contains the definitions of terms used throughout TOGAF and release notes detailing
the changes between this version and the previous version of TOGAF.
• PART II (Architecture Development Method): This is the core of TOGAF. It describes the TOGAF Architecture Development
Method (ADM) – a step-by-step approach to developing an Enterprise Architecture.
• PART III (ADM Guidelines & Techniques): This part contains a collection of guidelines and techniques available for use in
applying TOGAF and the TOGAF ADM.
• PART IV (Architecture Content Framework): This part describes the TOGAF content framework, including a structured
metamodel for architectural artifacts, the use of re-usable architecture building blocks, and an overview of typical archi-
tecture deliverables.
• PART V (Enterprise Continuum & Tools): This part discusses appropriate taxonomies and tools to categorise and store the
outputs of architecture activity within an enterprise.
• PART VI (TOGAF Reference Models): This part provides a selection of architectural reference models, which includes the
TOGAF Foundation Architecture, and the Integrated Information Infrastructure Reference Model (III-RM).
• PART VII (Architecture Capability Framework): This part discusses the organisation, processes, skills, roles, and responsi-
bilities required to establish and operate an architecture function within an enterprise.

TACT is Syzygal’s pro-prietary methodology for developing courses and courseware
As part of doctoral research,
Syzygal have developed a unique
approach to developing and
designing professional education
courses and courseware. Rather
than utilising tired and over-used
methods such as working straight
from a syllabus, Syzygal decided to
research the key elements of effec-
tive learning. What we found was
that although dynamic and flexible
delivery methods were essential to
the overall experience for students,
it was the approach to content
formulation and positioning that
was critical to maximising learning
up-take and knowledge retention.
The THEORY of a subject is obvi-
ously critical to success, but ensur-
ing it is positioned in contextual
alignment is the pay-off. We then
ensure students ABSORB the the-
ory by placing them in real-world
scenarios and role-plays, ensuring
the theory connects to practical
application. To support this we
CONSOLIDATE the learning by us-
ing innovative games and exercises
to further develop understanding
and retention. Finally we ensure
TESTING takes place throughout
training events which prepares
the student to take their formal
certification.

cialisation in the areas of IT Service
Management, IT Security Manage-
ment, Project Management and
Enterprise Governance. Our focus is
on supporting and communicating
world-renowned, industry recognised
frameworks and standards. In doing
so we help our clients develop world-
class, business centric IT Services

Placed world-wide, we provide in-
novative solutions helping your busi-
ness deliver tangible and measurable
improvements through direct con-
sultancy or training and education
products. Syzygal’s primary business
objectives and goals are to:
• Educate professionals in leading
industry best practices
• Help our clients develop real
knowledge and understanding
in core business practices

tation of that knowledge
• Ultimately help our clients im-
prove their business practices
Our approach is to accept and deliver
only the highest quality in informa-
tion content, materials and delivery
of our courses. We believe that learn-
ing is better achieved by participa-
tion from the student rather than
instruction by the lecturer. Taking
this approach leads to a better overall
experience for the training candi-
dates and achieves a longer lasting
knowledge transfer from the course.
We employ only the best training
resources and ensure they have ap-
plicable, real life experience in their
specialist areas and industry standard
frameworks and methodologies.
