About TOGAF Is NOT An EA Framework: The Inconvenient

Why did I decide to compile this book?I believe that TOGAF has done more to damage the EA “profession” (such as it isn’t!) than anything else in the world, and that the EA “profession” would be in a much better place today if TOGAF had never existed. There are two main confusions that exist with regards to peoples (practitioners and management) understanding of EA. 1) Most people (90% perhaps) think that “it’s all about IT”. 2) Most people (90% perhaps) think that its all about running (mostly large) IT projects. And the reason for this mass misunderstanding is because this is what TOGAF tends to push. People are told that TOGAF is an EA framework by the confused majority and so new people believe it to, which of course, adds to the majority thinking and saying the same wrong things. These fundamental misunderstandings have to be tackled if an EA profession is to exist. I compiled this book to start a proper debate on the subject and also to allow people to realise that there is a choice out there between which EA frameworks they can use and who they talk to that may have different ideas to The Open Group.
