Which TOGAF component helps ensure consistency across different architectural domains?

The Architecture Content Framework is key to ensuring consistency across different architectural domains within TOGAF. It provides a structured approach for defining the various artifacts (models, matrices, diagrams) that are necessary for developing architectures. By establishing a common categorization and format for architectural work, the Framework facilitates integration and coherence among different domains such as business, information systems, technology, and solutions architecture.

This structured approach promotes the reuse of architectural knowledge and helps avoid duplication of efforts across domains. Additionally, by adhering to a consistent framework in the documentation and design processes, organizations can more easily align their architectural efforts with strategic goals, fostering better communication and understanding among stakeholders.

Other components, like the Architecture Development Method (ADM) and Enterprise Continuum, while vital for the overall architecture process and continuity, do not focus specifically on ensuring consistency across various domains in the same structured manner as the Architecture Content Framework. Implementation Governance relates more to overseeing the implementation of the architecture, ensuring projects adhere to the established guidelines and standards rather than establishing the foundational consistency across different domains.
