The Enterprise Continuum and the ADM

The TOGAF Architecture Development Method (ADM) defines a structured approach for developing an enterprise -specific architecture and the
corresponding enterprise solutions that align with that architecture.

Directional Flow in the Enterprise Continuum

Left to Right:
• The process begins by adopting and adapting generic architectures and solutions (e.g., Foundation Architectures, Common Syste ms Architectures, and
Industry Architectures).
• These are refined into Organization-Specific Architectures and Solutions that cater to the enterprise’s unique needs.
Right to Left:
• When specific architectures and solutions prove effective, they can be generalized for re -use across multiple projects or industries.
• This contributes to the creation of reusable reference models, standards, and best practices.
 Entreprise Continuum Architecture Partionning Architecture Repository Tools for Architecture Développement

The Enterprise Continuum and the ADM

Leveraging Architecture Assets in the TOGAF ADM
Throughout the TOGAF ADM, there are guidance points that reference useful architecture assets categorized within the Enterpri se Continuum.
These assets include:
• Reference models from The Open Group (e.g., TOGAF Technical Reference Model (TRM), Integrated Information Infrastructure Refe rence
Model (III-RM)).
• Industry-wide reference architectures (e.g., healthcare, finance, manufacturing frameworks).
The TOGAF Library & Enterprise Continuum
The TOGAF Library serves as a repository of reference models, templates, and guidelines that architects can leverage to devel op their
organization's architecture.
By using the Enterprise Continuum, architects can efficiently:
Categorize existing assets.
Re-use proven components.
Standardize architecture practices.
Improve communication between stakeholders.

Relationship Between the Architecture Continuum and Solutions Continuum

The Architecture Continuum provides guidance for structuring and designing architectures, while the Solutions Continuum translates these architectures
into concrete, implementable solutions.
Example:
A Foundation Architecture guides the creation of Foundation Solutions.
An Industry Architecture directs the development of an Industry Solution tailored to a specific sector.
An Organization-Specific Architecture defines precise needs that will be realized through an Organization -Specific Solution.

Role of the Enterprise Continuum

The Enterprise Continuum acts as a bridge that enhances productivity by leveraging reusable assets:
• Architecture Continuum = provides a structured classification of architectures.
• Solutions Continuum = clarifies the available systems and solutions for implementation.
• Enterprise Continuum = ensures integration and consistency between the two.

• Flexibility and Interdependency: An Organization-Specific Architecture may include components from a Common Systems Architecture , just as an
Organization-Specific Solution may incorporate Foundation Solution
 Entreprise Continuum Architecture Partionning Architecture Repository Tools for Architecture Développement

The Enterprise Continuum and Your Organization

Application Within an Enterprise

To structure its IT landscape, an organization must manage multiple levels of architecture:

A Foundation Architecture governing all systems.
Common Systems Architectures for shared systems such as networking, management, and security.
Industry-Specific Architectures tailored to sector-specific requirements.
Organization-Specific Architectures defining solutions for departments and internal business units.
Organizations can adopt, adapt, or develop their architectures using TOGAF and its Architecture Development Method (ADM), whi ch promotes the reuse
of existing assets.
This structured approach enhances coherence, efficiency, and cost -effectiveness, enabling faster and more reliable architectural implementations.
Architecture Partitioning

7
 Entreprise Continuum Architecture Partionning Architecture Repository Tools for Architecture Développement

Partitions areused to simplify the development and management of the Enterprise Architecture. Partitions lie at the foundation of Architecture Governance and are distinct from
levels and the organizing concepts of the Architecture Continuum

Architectures are partitioned because:

■ Organizational unit architectures conflict with one another
■ Different teams need to work on different elements of architecture at the same time and partitions allow for specific groups of architects to own and
develop specific elements of the architecture
■ Effective architecture re-use requires modular architecture segments that can be taken and incorporated into broader architectu res and solutions

Applying Classification to Create Partitioned Architectures

Activities within the Preliminary Phase

The Preliminary Phase establishes the Architecture Capability within the enterprise by defining architecture partitions with clear boundaries,
governance, and ownership.
Each architecture team is responsible for one or more partitions and follows the TOGAF ADM to develop, govern, and implement
architectures.
Avoiding conflicts: A single architecture should ideally have one owning team to prevent responsibility overlaps.
Permanent vs. Temporary Teams:
Permanent teams have well-defined responsibilities.
Temporary teams (for change initiatives) should be governed by a permanent team to ensure alignment with enterprise architect ure principles.

Steps within the Preliminary Phase to support architecture partitioning areas

follows:
■ Determine the organization structure for architecture within the enterprise
■ Determine the responsibilities for each standing architecture team
■ Determine the relationships between architectures

Integration
Key Issue: Risk of Fragmentation
Partitioning enterprise architectures can lead to disjointed, non-integrated architectures, making it difficult to maintain a coherent enterprise -wide view.
Federated Architectures as a Solution
For large and complex enterprises, especially governments and conglomerates, federated architectures offer a structured approach where:
⚬ Individual organizational units develop and manage their own architectures independently.
⚬ A central integration framework ensures interoperability, migration, and compliance between these architectures.
⚬ This approach balances autonomy and enterprise-wide alignment.

Ensuring Integration & Compliance

To mitigate fragmentation, organizations should:
⚬ Establish standards for content integration to enable seamless architecture alignment.
⚬ Enforce Architecture Governance to ensure compliance with integration requirements.
⚬ Leverage frameworks like the TOGAF Content Framework to define standard building blocks and artifacts, ensuring consistency across
architectures.

Integration
Integration can be addressed from a number of dimensions:
■ Integration across the architectural domains provides a cross -domain view of the state of a segment of the enterprise for a poi nt in time
■ Integration across the organizational scope of the business provides a cross -segment view of the enterprise
■The ArchitectureVision provides an integrated summary of Architecture Definitions, which provide an integrated summary of Transition Architectures
