Identify candidate architecture roadmap components, based on gaps between the baseline and target data architectures.

The Open Group Architecture Framework (TOGAF) is
an enterprise architecture methodology that offers a high-level
framework for enterprise software development.
Like IT management frameworks, TOGAF helps
businesses align IT goals with overall business goals, while helping to
organize cross-departmental IT efforts. TOGAF helps businesses define
and organize requirements before a project starts, keeping the process
moving quickly with few errors. There are four architectural domains in
TOGAF 9.2 that offer specializations for businesses:

Business architecture: Includes information on business
strategy, governance, organization, and how to adapt any existing
processes within the organization
Applications architecture: A blueprint for structuring and
deploying application systems and in accordance with business goals,
other organizational frameworks, and all core business processes
Data architecture: Defining the organization’s data storage, management, and maintenance, including logical and physical data models
Technical architecture: Also called technology architecture;
describes all necessary hardware, software, and IT infrastructure
involved in developing and deploying business applications
The objectives of the data architecture (part of Phase C) are to:
Develop the target data architecture that enables the business
architecture and the architecture vision in a way that addresses the
statement of architecture work and stakeholder concerns.
Identify candidate architecture roadmap components, based on gaps between the baseline and target data architectures.
To prepare:
Read “Chapter 9: Phase C: Information Systems Architectures—Data
Architecture the Resource,” by the Open Group Architecture Forum, found
in this week’s Learning Resources.
