Enterprise Architecture with TOGAF Principles

Enterprise architecture connects business strategy to processes, data, applications and technology so that change is coordinated rather than chaotic. This course introduces enterprise architecture practice using TOGAF concepts: the architecture development method, building blocks, viewpoints, governance and roadmaps, with practical exercises on real organisational scenarios.
