TOGAF with ArchiMate Bridge

Map TOGAF ADM phases and deliverables to ArchiMate layers and viewpoints so practitioners using both frameworks can see exactly where they overlap and where they complement each other.

ADM-wideDerived from TOGAF

TOGAF and ArchiMate complement each other; each owns what the other does not

TOGAF the method and ArchiMate the notation each own distinct work, then converge on the joint artefacts where the models are drawn.

TOGAF is the method. ArchiMate is the notation. Each owns work the other does not, and the map names where they meet so the joint artefacts are explicit.

TOGAF and ArchiMate complement each other; each owns what the other does not A convergence map with three columns. The left column, TOGAF owns the method, holds three blue panels: ADM phases, Content metamodel and Governance. The right column, ArchiMate owns the notation, holds three blue panels: Layers, Relationships and Viewpoints. Arrows point inward from both owners to the centre column, Both own the joint artefacts, three red panels: the business, application and technology models, each drawn in ArchiMate notation on the TOGAF metamodel. A closing note in red states the method decides what each model must contain and the notation decides how it is drawn, so the two are used together.
