This title is a Study Guide for TOGAF® 9 Foundation. It gives an overview of every learning objective for the TOGAF 9 Foundation Syllabus and in-depth coverage on preparing and taking the TOGAF 9 Part 1 Examination. It is specifically designed to help individuals prepare for certification.
This Study Guide is excellent material for:
- Individuals who require a basic understanding of TOGAF 9;
- Professionals who are working in roles associated with an architecture project such as those responsible for planning, execution, development, delivery, and operation;
- Architects who are looking for a first introduction to TOGAF 9;
- Architects who want to achieve Level 2 certification in a stepwise manner and have not previously qualified as TOGAF 8 Certified.
A prior knowledge of enterprise architecture is advantageous but not required. While reading this Study Guide, the reader should also refer to the TOGAF Version 9. 1 documentation (manual), available as hard copy and eBook, from www. vanharen. net and online booksellers, and also available online at www. opengroup. org.
