Architecture Forum

Anaheim, CA  23rd - 25th January 2002

Final Agenda


The Architecture Forum at Anaheim will hold an Architecture Workshop, on Wednesday 23rd and Friday 25th January, in which the members of the Forum will progress their 2002 work program; and it will host a public Architecture Briefing, on Thursday, 24th January, highlighting a number of key speakers architecture and highlighting the TOGAF Tools Challenge .


Architecture Workshop (members only) - Wednesday 23rd and Friday 25th January


There will be two main areas of focus for the Architecture Workshop at Anaheim:

  • to review in detail the projects in the Architecture Forum Plan for 2002;
  • to undertake the detailed planning of the 2002 work program, and its implementation.

Planning for 2002 will be an important activity at the meeting. The 2002 work program promises to be one of the most extensive yet, with a proposal to transition TOGAF from a framework and method for IT Architecture to one for overall enterprise architecture. This will have profound implications for TOGAF itself and for the working of the Architecture Forum.
