The Enterprise Architecture Team's challenges
Every Enterprise Architecture team delivers support for selecting the most effective improvement and guiding the resulting change. To deliver, every Enterprise Architecture team faces the same three challenges:
1. How to configure their Enterprise Architecture team
2. How to configure their method of developing Enterprise Architecture
3. How they document their enterprise’s architecture. The TOGAF Standard provides the common concepts, structure, and enduring best practice to help Enterprise Architects deliver.
Every organization is distinct. It has a unique structure and place in an ecosystem. The TOGAF Standard is used by small, medium, and large commercial businesses, as well as government departments, non-government public organizations, and defense agencies. The TOGAF Standard, 10th Edition is designed for the dichotomy of common universal concepts and variable detailed configuration. This version of the standard aligns enduring stable concepts, proven practice, and new emerging ideas.

The Open Group ArchiMate® standard is an open and independent modeling language for enterprise architecture, supported by different tool vendors and consulting firms. Just as an architectural drawing for a building architecture describes the various aspects of the construction and use of a building, the ArchiMate Specification, a Standard of The Open Group, defines a common language for describing the construction and operation of business processes, organizational structures, information flows, IT systems, and technical infrastructure. This insight helps stakeholders to design, assess, and communicate the consequences of decisions and changes within and between these business domains Within any given company, various domain architectures can be found such as organization, business process, application, information, and technical architectures. Each architecture domain has its own concepts for the modeling and visualization of its internal coherence. These specific models and visualizations simplify communication, discussion, and analysis within the domain. Certifications include ArchiMate Foundation and ArchiMate Practitioner
