What's New in tOGAF Standard Version 9.2?

I passed my TOGAF Essentials 2018 assessment this year...but why?  Well I run coaching and mentoring masterclasses, covering a range of new digital courses.  The most popular at the moment is the Certified Cloud Security Professional course (CCSP), which leads the CCSP certification endorsed by the ISC2.  The next most popular is the TOGAF standard, a standard of the Open Group.  As an instructor, I have to maintain my currency on all the latest materials and the TOGAF Essentials 2018 assessment is a great way of doing that.  It basically makes clear all the differences between the TOGAF Standard Version 9.1, from 2011 and the TOGAF Standard Version 9.2 standard which was released only a few weeks ago.

So let's cut to the chase.  What are some of the key differences:
  1. Content in the tools / techniques section, such as Business Scenarios, have been removed from the TOGAF standard and separated out into separate guides in the TOGAF Library.  THis makes them easier to maintain, aligning to a more #Agile approach.
  2. New Guides have been added that covers things like Value Streams, Business Capabilities and Establishing an EA capability.
  3. Security, SOA and the Reference Models are now in separate documents and removed from teh core book.
  4. Business Architecture, Phase B, has been strengthened to include new definitions, which in turn has meant some changes to the content metamodel.  Examples include new definitions of Buiness Capability, Business Model and Value Stream.
  5. Updates to basic architecture concepts that better align with the ISO/IEC/IEEE 42010:2011 standards.
  6. Technology Platform is now known as Technology Services in the metamodel.
  7. Enterprise Security Architecture aligns more closely with the Sherwood Applied Business Security Architecture, known as the SABSA framework.
  8. Inconsistencies and errors in the ADM Phases has been rectified.
  9. Architecture Repository view has been updated to now include the Solutions landscape and the Architecture Requirements Repository.
Overall I really welcome the changes, and it's good to see the TOGAF standard being broken into smaller artifacts, so that they can be updated independently.  Great to see the Open Group slowly moving to a more Agile approach.

I've also released a FREE set of flashcards specifically to help you remember all the TOGAF 9.2 terminology for the Part 1 and Part 2 exams.  Check them out on Quizlet:   quizlet.com/_57zkpz

Thank you for sharing the information. I have a question for you.

I passed the TOGAF 9 Combined Part 1 and 2 Exam back in 2016, and I don't remember all the theory now. So to pass the TOGAF Essentials 2018 assessment, do I have to read through all the TOGAF material again, or the 3-hour refresher is enough?

The 3 hour refresher is all you need.

If you feel from a personal development perspective, that you need a course to refresh all the knowledge, then I can highly recommend ALC Training classroom based courses. Or you can contact your local provider. Feel free to reach out to me on LinkedIn for further information.

?m impressed, I must say. Really rarely do I encounter a blog that?s both educative and entertaining, and let me tell you, you have hit the nail on the head. Your idea is outstanding; the issue is something that not enough people are speaking intelligently about. I am very happy that I stumbled across this in my search for something relating to this.
