Enterprise Architecture in Practice

Description

Master Enterprise Architecture with TOGAF®—From Strategy to Successful Delivery

Whether you’re preparing for TOGAF certification, working as an Enterprise Architect, or leading digital transformation initiatives, Enterprise Architecture in Practice provides a practical, step-by-step guide to applying the TOGAF® Architecture Development Method (ADM) in real organizations.

Unlike theory-heavy references, this handbook focuses on what architects actually do—from defining architecture vision and business capabilities to designing data, application, and technology architectures that align with business strategy.

Inside this book, you’ll learn how to:
• Understand the complete TOGAF® ADM lifecycle (Preliminary Phase through Phase H)
• Develop Business, Data, Application, and Technology Architectures
• Build effective Architecture Repositories and Governance processes
• Create Architecture Principles, Capability Maps, Value Streams, and Migration Roadmaps
• Apply Architecture Building Blocks (ABBs) and Solution Building Blocks (SBBs)
• Design cloud-native enterprise architectures using Kubernetes, APIs, event-driven systems, microservices, and serverless technologies
• Govern enterprise transformation using architecture reviews, stakeholder management, and compliance practices
• Avoid common architecture anti-patterns and implementation pitfalls

The book also includes practical case studies from banking, healthcare, and retail that demonstrate how TOGAF ADM is applied to real enterprise modernization programs.

Ideal for Enterprise Architects, Solution Architects, IT Architects, Digital Transformation Leaders, Technology Managers, Architecture Governance Teams, TOGAF Certification Candidates, and IT Consultants.

Whether you’re building an enterprise architecture capability from scratch or improving an existing architecture practice, this handbook offers practical guidance, proven techniques, and real-world examples to help bridge the gap between business strategy and technology execution.

If you’re looking for a practical TOGAF guide that goes beyond certification and shows how enterprise architecture works in the real world, this book belongs on your desk.
