TOGAF with BizBOK Bridge

Map TOGAF Phase B business architecture concepts to the BizBOK Guide's capability, value stream, and information domains so practitioners can use both bodies of knowledge together.

The BIZBOK to TOGAF handshake: business architecture crossing the bridge

BIZBOK owns the capability model on the left; TOGAF Phase B adopts and expands it on the right. A cross-walk bridge carries the artefact across so neither side rebuilds it.

BIZBOK and TOGAF Phase B overlap in business architecture but frame slightly different artefacts. Naming the handshake means the capability model is built once, then ratified jointly.

The BIZBOK to TOGAF handshake: business architecture crossing the bridge A handshake across two facing lanes. The BIZBOK side on the left holds step 1, the capability model from a BIZBOK capability map, and step 2, a cross-walk that maps BIZBOK terms to TOGAF before handover. A central bridge channel carries a crossing arrow labelled crosses to the TOGAF Phase B side on the right, which holds step 3, Phase B input where the map is adopted, and step 4, Phase B artefacts such as value streams and gap views. Both lanes feed down, the left arrow labelled signs, into one emphasised step 5 panel: the stakeholder-signed joint output, one model built once and ratified once by both methods. A closing note in red states the cross-walk is the contract.
