Agility and TOGAF 9.2. Being Agile is part of the norm today. It is oft confused with many things such as doing everything fast and without any process. Some say it is learning from failing fast. Some others take credit that we are agile and so do not ask us for any process or documentation whatsoever. One thing is clear agility in everything that we are expected to do (people, process and technology ) is here to stay. Call it by any name or buzz word being agile is catching up quickly with companies and more recently the US Government playbook ( rules for IT Companies working on Govt projects ) has suggested all companies to exploit agile process and frameworks where applicable when working on federal projects.

Agility is at the core of TOGAF 9.2 and is at the center of the framework. It is for the practitioner of the framework to understand the nuances and use it in day to day work. Else any tool without its proper application with contextual knowledge will make it powerless and only a tool with no power to it.When we add the contextual knowledge and harness a tool it comes out alive and becomes handy. Agile practices are part of TOGAF 9.2 and it is a useful mix of agility and architecture that a senior IT professional is expected to balance and make decisions. How well you are able to strike a balance here determines how mature your thought process is and the course teaches you how to model yourself for creating that maturity.
