TOGAF stand for "The Open Group Architecture Framework" & quite famous for Enterprise Architecture.
Here is my journey...
- July 11- 14,2018 - Attended TOGAF 9.2 Training conducted by eLearning LaunchPad Trainer. 4 days class is quite packed with TOGAF architecture, principles & concept.
- July 23 -Aug 19 - Study for a month. Need to some time to study as the exam cost USD495.
- August 20, 2018 - Exam Day
Study material
1. Lecture Slides - Book 1 (hardcopy) - Learn all the theory about TOGAF
2. Lecture Slides - Book 2 (hardcopy)- Learn about ADM Phases (objectives, approach, steps, input & output). This book allows you to apply the theory in Book 1 into ADM phases.
Study once for both book study.
