A definition of T.O.G.A.F.
The Open Group Architecture Framework (TOGAF) is an EA (or enterprise architecture) methodology that offers a high-level framework for enterprise software development.
The original development of TOGAF Version 1 in 1995 was based on the Technical Architecture Framework for Information Management (TAFIM), developed by the U.S. Department of Defense.
The DoD gave The Open Group explicit permission and encouragement to create TOGAF by building on the TAFIM, which resulted from many years of development effort and millions of dollars of U.S. government investment.
TOGAF helps to organize a development process through an approach aimed at timelines, staying on budget, and aligning IT with business units to produce quality results.
Today, most Global 50 and Fortune 500 companies know TOGAF.
It is free for organizations to use internally but not for commercial purposes. So TOGAF does not, according to everyone, fit the definition of an open standard like BPMN and UML do.
However, businesses can have tools, software, or training programs certified by The Open Group. There are currently eight certified TOGAF tools and 71 accredited courses offered by 70 organizations.
