This document is a Study Guide for TOGAF 9 Foundation. It gives an overview of every learning objective for the TOGAF 9 Foundation Syllabus and in-depth coverage on preparing and taking the TOGAF 9 Part 1 Examination. It is specifically designed to help individuals prepare for certification. The audience for this Study Guide is: individuals who require a basic understanding of TOGAF 9; professionals who are working in roles associated with an architecture project such as those responsible for planning, execution, development, delivery, and operation; architects who are looking for a first introduction to TOGAF 9; architects who want to achieve Level 2 certification in a stepwise manner and have not previously qualified as TOGAF 8 Certified. A prior knowledge of enterprise architecture is advantageous but not required.
