Putting the 'E' in TOGAF

EA Directions recently published findings based on analysis of IIR's Web Seminar "Putting the 'E' in TOGAF". Here are some of the discovered findings as stated in this news release:

Finding #1: The majority of organizations in North America do not use TOGAF. Among those that do use TOGAF, only 16.4% use TOGAF as their primary enterprise architecture (EA) framework. Almost two-thirds of those that report they use TOGAF (65.6%) use it as a reference tool.

Finding #2: Only 11.1% of TOGAF users described TOGAF as "very effective" for solution architecture efforts. The remainder described TOGAF as "somewhat effective" or "mostly ineffective" for solution architecture.

Finding #3: Only 6.7% of TOGAF users described TOGAF as "very effective" for enterprise-wide architecture efforts. The remainder described TOGAF as "somewhat effective" or "mostly ineffective" enterprise-wide architecture.

Finding #4: It appears that, among webinar participants, the more a firm relies on TOGAF, the more likely they are to evaluate TOGAF as "effective". The opposite also appears to be true.
