The previous chapter discussed establishing the Architecture Capability. This activity is one of the first steps to be performed in the Preliminary Phase, along with the formation of an architecture team. Both activities are highly dependent on the ability to define the correct roles, skills, and competencies required to successfully establish the Architecture Capability and associated architecture team. A skills framework can be used to identify these roles and skills. This chapter focuses on the architecture roles, skills, and competencies provided by the TOGAF Standard. The framework includes an overview of the roles used in an architecture practice and the skills associated with them. With the release of the “Architecture Roles and Skills” Series Guide, the framework now provides a more comprehensive overview of the skills associated with each role, highlighting the depth of knowledge required to successfully perform the role. In practice, however, there still seems to be some ambiguity about job descriptions, roles, and assignments. In some situations, this leads to misunderstandings about the roles and responsibilities of architects.
