Over 10,000 Practitioners now TOGAF® 8 Certified
The number of practitioners who have seen the value of TOGAF and have become certified in TOGAF 8 has reached 10,025. This is in keeping with the prediction that this figure would be reached by June 2009.
It took 3 years to reach the first 1,000 TOGAF Certified Practitioners milestone and then a further 3 years achieve 10,000 certified architects.
TOGAF 9 was launched in February. Since then, Architecting the Enterprise has trained over 650 practitioners in this new standard. These will soon join the ranks of the 200 plus practitioners who have become TOGAF 9 certified.
TOGAF Version 9 (“TOGAF 9” for short) is a detailed method and set of supporting resources for developing an Enterprise Architecture. Developed and endorsed by the membership of The Open Group’s Architecture Forum, TOGAF 9 represents an industry consensus framework and method for Enterprise Architecture that is available for use internally by any organization around the world - members and non-members of The Open Group alike - subject to license conditions.
As a comprehensive, open method for Enterprise Architecture, TOGAF 9 complements, and can be used in conjunction with, other frameworks that are more focused on specific aspects of architecture or for vertical sectors such as Government, Defense, and Finance.
