 NASA ACTIVITY I
Observatories in Hawaii have discovered life within our solar
system. Not only life but a possible threat to man kind as an alien
vessel appears to be headed to Earth. Estimated arrival 3 years.
With no means of communication, hostile intent is unknown.

Assemble your intergalactic team.

Your mission: Establish communications with the Aliens

 FIRST APPLICATION: TOGAF
The Open Group Architecture Framework (TOGAF) is
a framework for enterprise architecture that provides an
approach for designing, planning, implementing, and
governing an enterprise information technology
architecture.[2]TOGAF is a high level approach to design. It is
typically modeled at four levels: Business, Application, Data,
and Technology. It relies heavily on modularization,
standardization, and already existing, proven technologies and
products.

Business Analysis Outcomes
The general outcomes of business architecture include:
• the alignment of the organization to its strategy,
• the planning of change in the execution of strategy, and
• ensuring that as change is implemented, it continues to align to the strategy.

These business architecture outcomes provide context for requirements analysis, planning and prioritization, estimation, and high-level
system design. This provides insight and alignment with strategy, stakeholder needs, and business capabilities. Architectural views and
blueprints provide information that may have otherwise been based on assumptions, and minimize the risk of duplication of efforts in
creating capabilities, systems, or information that already exist elsewhere in the enterprise.

The various models and blueprints provided by business architecture are its key deliverables. These include, but are not
limited to:
• business capability maps,
• value stream maps,
• organization maps,
• business information concepts,
• high-level process architecture, and
• business motivation models.

HISTORY OF ENTERPRISE ARCHITECTURE

 NASA researched in early 2000s and documented

history of Enterprise Architecture as we know it
today.

 “Improved efficiencies from our efforts enabled

NASA’s overall IT spending to decrease by thirty six
percent, to $1.4B, from 2005 to 2013, while NASA’s
mission portfolio evolved. “ – Larry Sweet IRM 2014

A year has past and the Aliens have not changed course nor hailed
your signals. An observer through telescopic observation reported
a sighting of a Klingon ship un-cloaking and attacking the Aliens.
The Aliens respond with overwhelming force and destroy the
Klingon vessel. Continuing their journey towards Earth.

Assemble your intergalactic team and formulate a strategy identifying goals,

objectives and measures for success.

Value and Solutions Delivered

Business architecture provides a blueprint that management can use to plan and execute strategies from both information
technology (IT) and non-IT perspectives. Business architecture is used by organizations to guide:

• strategic planning,
• business remodelling,
• organization redesign,
• performance measurement and other transformation initiatives to improve customer retention,
• streamlining business operations,
• cost reduction,
• the formalization of institutional knowledge, and
• the creation of a vehicle for businesses to communicate and deploy their business vision.
