The Open Group Architectural Framework (TOGAF) provides a structure for describing all transformational work within an enterprise.

While TOGAF focuses on the role of an enterprise’s architects, it also very much addresses the space in which business analysts (BAs) play. This can lead to role confusion, blurred deliverables, and duplicate work.

In this one-hour webinar, business analysis expert and Global Knowledge instructor Adam McClellan (LinkedIn profile) will focus on those parts of TOGAF in which the business analyst is typically the most active, and he will outline how the analyst’s work contributes to the broader architecture.

He will also provide perspective for architects who work with BAs and for BAs interested in the architecture disciplines.
