TOGAF 9 for Government Training

INTRODUCTION

TOGAF 9 Certification and GWEA Framework TrainingThe Open Group Architecture Framework (TOGAF®) Version 9 is a detailed method and set of supporting resources for developing an enterprise architecture (EA). It provides an Architecture Development Method, Content Framework and Capability Framework that can be used as the basis for creating an organisation's EA. TOGAF® also provides a variety of tools, building blocks and resources that facilitate the process and enable the design and development of EA across the business, data, application and technology domains.

GWEA is the Government Wide Enterprise Architecture framework. It is derived from TOGAF® and uses the TOGAF® Architecture Development Method for implementing enterprise architecture. Its primary purpose is to prescribe a minimum standard for the development of ICT plans and blueprints for government departments and agencies.

COURSE DESCRIPTION

This five-day course includes all the key learning points necessary to pass the TOGAF® 9 certification exams, as well as content on the TOGAF® methods and techniques that are adopted in the GWEA Framework.

GWEA is the Government Wide Enterprise Architecture framework. It is derived from TOGAF® and uses the TOGAF® Architecture Development Method for implementing Enterprise Architecture. Its primary purpose is to prescribe a minimum standard for the development of ICT plans and blueprints for government departments and agencies. This in turn ensures that government departments and agencies are aligned to the South African e-government objectives and principles while also ensuring that the ICT plans are fully aligned with the department/agency’s business plan.

The GWEA framework provides a method as well as guidelines on how enterprise architecture should be documented and applied within government departments and agencies. This allows departments to make technology decisions based on a full understanding of the mandate of the department as well as the department’s strategic programmes and thereby supports service delivery to the citizens of the republic.
