TOGAF (R) Enterprise Architecture Practitioner (Level 2)

This course provides an advanced understanding of the TOGAF Enterprise Architecture framework, focusing on the practical application of TOGAF methodologies and techniques. Participants will learn how to develop, sustain, and transform an Enterprise Architecture using the TOGAF Standard. The course includes stakeholder management, the Architecture Development Method (ADM) phases, governance, and change management strategies. Learners will develop the skills needed to apply TOGAF in an Agile environment and drive organisational transformation.

By the end of this course, learners will be able to:

• Apply the TOGAF approach to manage and drive change
• Implement the TOGAF methodology in real-world scenarios
• Use stakeholder management techniques effectively
• Execute the Architecture Vision phase and its associated techniques
• Develop architectures through ADM Phases B, C, and D
• Implement architectures using ADM Phases E, F, and G
• Apply Architecture Change Management principles
• Manage architecture requirements and ensure alignment with business goals
• Utilise The Open Group Library to support architecture development
• Organise the Architecture Landscape using architecture levels and frameworks

To take the exam, learners must have achieved certification for TOGAF ® Enterprise Architecture Foundation (Level 1).
