TOGAF 9 one pager...

Been talking to the open group chaps looking at TOGAF about my one pager description of TOGAF 9. They've made some useful comments, hope to get something out soon.

On thinking and change

This post on Inside Architecture really resonated with me. The topic is that getting people to think is hard, getting people to change is hard - getting folks to do both at the same time is nearly impossible.

This is very much in line with my experience. Sometimes I've produced something to provoke thought and been asked how this should be changed, i.e. the other party doesn't want to think. I've also proposed change that has provoked thinking.

Details of the TOGAF 8 to 9 bridge exam

For those who are interested. Architecting the Enterprise happen to be the provider I used for the course. They're credited with some of the content in the text and as I said before - I heartily recommend them.

TOGAF 9 overview

I found the course to be very useful and provided me with some key insights. I put this one pager together capturing the key elements of greatest import to me, which I can't share yet given the conditions of use statement. I can refer you here though: http://www.opengroup.org/architecture/togaf9-doc/arch/index.html.

Heartily recommend Graham Berrisford as a trainer, he was knowledgeable and articulate. I'd also recommend Architecting the Enterprise in general.
