Stakeholders are individuals, teams, organizations, or classes thereof, having an interest in a system. They
are people who have key roles in, or concerns about, the system; for example, users, developers, etc.

Concerns are interests in a system relevant to one or more of its stakeholders. They may pertain to any
aspect of the system’s functioning, development, or operation, including performance, reliability, security,
distribution, and evolvability, and may determine acceptability of the system

View
An Architecture View is a representation of a system from the perspective of a related set of concerns.
• An architect creates architecture models. An architecture view consists of parts of these, chosen to
show stakeholders that their concerns are being met.

Architecture
Slide TitleViewpoint
Here
• An Architecture Viewpoint defines the perspective from which an architecture view is taken.
• It defines how to construct and use an architecture view, the information needed, the modeling
techniques for expressing and analyzing it, and a rationale for these choices (e.g., by describing
the purpose and intended audience of the view).

7.2 Building Blocks and the ADM

BuildingSlide
BlockTitle
Characteristics
Here
• A package of functionality defined to meet the business needs across an organization.
• Normally has a type that corresponds to the metamodel (such as actor, business service, application,
or data entity).
• Has a defined boundary and is generally recognizable as “a thing” by domain experts.
• May interoperate with other, inter-dependent building blocks.
13

Building
Slide Title
Blocks
Here
Systems are built from collections of building blocks.
They can be defined at many levels of detail:
• Groupings at the fundamental functional level capturing architecture requirements are known
as Architecture Building Blocks (ABBs)
• Real products that can be procured or specific custom developments are known as Solution
Building Blocks (SBBs)

• Fully document each building block
• Document rationale for building block decisions in
architecture document

library of building blocks within the Architecture
Repository and re-using where appropriate

• Select standards for each building block, re-using as much as
possible from reference models selected from the
Architecture Continuum
• Document final mapping of the building blocks to the
Architecture Landscape
• From selected building blocks, identify those that might be
re-used, and publish as standards or reference models via
the Architecture Repository

Deliverables
• Architectural deliverables are the contractual or formal work products of an Architecture Project.
• The definition of deliverable provided by the TOGAF Standard is a baseline.
• It is thus a starting point for tailoring.

Slide Title Here
Vision
• The Architecture Vision is created early on in the ADM cycle.
• It provides a summary of the changes to the enterprise that will accrue from successful
deployment of the Target Architecture.
• Providing an Architecture Vision supports stakeholder communication by providing a summary
version of the full Architecture Definition.
28
Copyright © The Open Group 2022
Communications
Slide Title HerePlan
• Enterprise Architectures contain large volumes of complex and inter-dependent information.
• Effective communication of targeted information to the right stakeholders at the right time is a
Critical Success Factor (CSF) for Enterprise Architecture.
• Development of a Communications Plan for architecture allows for this communication to be
carried out within a planned and managed process.

Capability
Slide Title
Assessment
Here
Before embarking upon a detailed Architecture Definition, it is valuable to understand the baseline and
target capability level of the enterprise.
This Capability Assessment can be examined on several levels:
• What is the capability level of the enterprise as a whole?
• Where does the enterprise wish to increase or optimize capability?
• What are the architectural focus areas that will support the desired development of the enterprise?
• What is the capability or maturity level of the IT function within the enterprise?
• What is the capability and maturity of the architecture function within the enterprise?

Definition
Title HereDocument
• The deliverable container for the core architectural artifacts created during a project and for
important related information
• Spans all architecture domains (Business, Data, Application, and Technology) and also examines all
relevant states of the architecture (Baseline, Transition, and Target)
32

Requirements
Title HereSpecification
• Provides a set of quantitative statements that outline what an Implementation Project must do
in order to comply with the architecture
• Will typically form a major component of an implementation contract or contract for more
detailed Architecture Definition

Requirements
Slide Impact
Title Here
Assessment
• Throughout the ADM, new information is collected relating to an architecture; new facts may
come to light that invalidate existing aspects of the architecture.
• A Requirements Impact Assessment assesses the current Architecture Requirements and
specification to identify changes that should be made and the implications of those changes.
34

Architecture
Slide TitleRoadmap
Here
• Lists individual work packages that will realize the Target Architecture and lays them out on a timeline
to show progression from the Baseline Architecture to the Target Architecture
• Incrementally developed throughout Phases E and F, and informed by readily identifiable roadmap
components from Phase B, C, and D within the ADM
35

Implementation
Slide Title
andHere
Migration Plan
• The Implementation and Migration Plan provides a schedule of the projects that will realize the
Target Architecture.
• The Implementation and Migration Plan includes executable projects grouped into managed
portfolios and programs.
• The Implementation and Migration Strategy identifying the approach to change is a key element of
the Implementation and Migration Plan.

Implementation
Slide Title
Governance
Here Model
The Implementation Governance Model ensures that a project transitioning into
implementation also smoothly transitions into appropriate Architecture Governance.
37

Change
Slide Title
Request
Here
• In some circumstances, it is necessary for Implementation Projects to either deviate from the
suggested architectural approach or to request scope extensions.
• Additionally, external factors – such as market factors, changes in business strategy, and new
technology opportunities – may open up opportunities to extend and refine the architecture.
• In these circumstances, a Change Request may be submitted in order to kick-start a further
cycle of architecture work.
