Using TOGAF® to Develop and Implement Enterprise Architecture in Government - U.S. Federal Agencies as Example
The US government and TOGAF® both maintain strongly that a well described business architecture is key to the development of overall enterprise architecture. US Federal enterprise architectural guidance, including that found in FEA and FSAM, offers high-level advice on methodology for describing business architectures. Phase B (Business Architecture) of the TOGAF 9 ADM (Architecture Development Method), offers highly detailed process guidance which maps closely to FEA/FSAM. This whitepaper will describe this mapping and show examples of artifacts that can be created using FEA/FSAM in concert with TOGAF.




It is not just what we train that is at the heart of what we offer, but also who we are. Many of us at Architecting the Enterprise; such as Judith Jones (our CEO-pictured right), Ed Harrington and Serge Thorn- have been key to the development of TOGAF over the years. This is why we take great care to teach and train with quality in mind. It is also why many organisations -including Fortune 500 companies- are loyal, satisfied customers.
