TOGAF Learning and Syllabus Coverage Matrix

This matrix traces the published TOGAF Enterprise Architecture Foundation and Practitioner topic areas to the learning and practice assets in this repository. It is aligned to the TOGAF Standard, 10th Edition learning path.

The authoritative learning outcomes are defined in The Open Group document X2202. This matrix paraphrases topic coverage; it does not reproduce protected syllabus or examination content.

Foundation coverage

The official OGEA-101 plan contains 40 questions across six areas: 8 Concepts, 14 ADM, 6 ADM Techniques, 4 Applying the ADM, 3 Governance, and 5 Architecture Content.

Practitioner coverage

The official OGEA-102 plan uses eight scenario-based questions with gradient scoring. Questions are drawn from eight major topic areas: the EA context, stakeholders, Phase A, Phases B–D, Phases E–G, Phase H, Requirements Management, and supporting ADM work.

ID Published area Main learning evidence Applied evidence Assessment evidence Status
P1 The Context for Enterprise Architecture Core concepts, Practical adoption Workbook case 1 Practitioner sets A–D and readiness scenarios Applied
P2 Stakeholder Management Core concepts, Techniques Workbook case 2, stakeholder-map template Practitioner sets A–D and readiness scenarios Applied
P3 Phase A: The Starting Point ADM Phase A, Architecture Vision template Workbook case 3 Practitioner sets A–D and readiness scenarios Applied
P4 Architecture Development: Phases B, C, D ADM, Domains Workbook case 4, worked example Practitioner sets A–D and readiness scenarios Applied
P5 Implementing the Architecture: Phases E, F, G ADM, Governance Workbook case 5, roadmap and compliance templates Practitioner sets A–D and readiness scenarios Applied
P6 Architecture Change Management: Phase H ADM Phase H, Modern delivery Workbook case 6 Practitioner sets A–D and readiness scenarios Applied
P7 Requirements Management ADM Requirements, requirement template Workbook case 7 Practitioner sets A–D and readiness scenarios Applied
P8 Supporting the ADM Work Techniques, Practical adoption, Modern delivery Workbook case 8 Practitioner sets A–D and readiness scenarios Applied

Practitioner decision checklist

For every scenario, verify that you can:

  • identify the architecture context, scope, level, and decision required;
  • identify stakeholders, concerns, influence, and decision rights;
  • select the ADM phase that owns the immediate problem;
  • use baseline evidence without documenting irrelevant detail;
  • develop coherent Business, Data, Application, and Technology choices;
  • turn gaps into work packages and Transition Architectures;
  • prioritize using value, cost, risk, dependency, readiness, and resources;
  • govern conformance while allowing controlled exceptions;
  • distinguish maintenance, a partial ADM cycle, and a new cycle;
  • trace requirements from source through decision, implementation, and proof;
  • tailor techniques and content to risk and decision value; and
  • integrate architecture with product, Agile, DevOps, security, portfolio, and operations.

Completion rule

Coverage on paper is not mastery. Mark an area ready only when:

  1. you can explain it in plain language without notes;
  2. you can apply it to an unfamiliar scenario;
  3. you can distinguish it from commonly confused terms; and
  4. recent timed evidence meets the target score.

The learning dashboard combines these signals into the final readiness result.
