A Scrapbook of Past Projects

by

Enterprise Architecture has a reputation problem. Not because it lacks rigor or structure — quite the opposite. But because too often, architecture feels like something that exists next to the organization rather than within it. Diagrams live in tools, standards sit in documents, and architectural knowledge slowly fragments across folders, platforms, and people’s heads. It’s kind of like an intangible scrapbook of past projects.
The Architecture Repository, as described in the TOGAF® Standard, is an attempt to fix that. Not by introducing yet another tool or database, but by introducing a way of thinking. A way of treating architecture as a coherent, evolving body of knowledge — one that can be reused, governed, and continuously refined.

Architecture Beyond Domains

by

Enterprise Architecture has been around for decades. The discipline has profoundly shaped how organizations plan, align, and structure their strategies, systems, and operations.
Frameworks such as the TOGAF Standard define four architecture domains and link them to specific architectural roles. While this approach has helped organizations organize work, it has also unintentionally reinforced rigid silos and limited the true potential of architecture as a holistic organizational capability.

Risk Management (2/2)

by

The Architecture Development Method (ADM) of the TOGAF Standard describes a number of techniques a practitioner has at his disposal. Risk Management is the second-to-last technique that is described. Since it is addressed in several phases (Phase A and Phases E through H), it can be seen as an integral part of architecture development. Applying Risk Management techniques ensures that risks are identified, assessed, and mitigated as part of the architecture development process.

Architecting with AI

by

Artificial Intelligence is often portrayed as a disruptive force — one that demands new methods, tools, and frameworks. But in practice, AI doesn’t replace traditional architecture frameworks. Instead, it enhances them. This is especially true when it comes to the TOGAF Standard’s Architecture Development Method (ADM). Rather than rewriting the playbook, AI can act as […]

Certified Experience

by

Getting certified is important. It is especially important from a personal perspective. Certifications demonstrate that you have the qualifications, skills, and knowledge necessary to perform your job well. There is one downside to most certifications though. Since most certifications are knowledge-based, almost none of them will allow you to demonstrate your experience.

Mythbusting the TOGAF Standard

by

I have said it before: the TOGAF Standard is awesome. If you make an effort to really understand the framework you will agree with me. Unfortunately, despite being around for thirty years, it is still often rigorously misunderstood and misinterpreted. And it is these misinterpretations that lead to the myths that circle the framework. That is why it is high time to start mythbusting the TOGAF Standard.
