TOGAF 9.2
The TOGAF 9 Foundation exam (OG0-091) has 40 multiple-choice questions in 60 minutes, with a 55% (22/40) passing score. The body of knowledge is the TOGAF 9.2 standard, focused on recall and basic comprehension across the ADM (Preliminary through H plus Requirements Management), Enterprise Continuum (Architecture and Solutions Continuums), Architecture Repository, building blocks (ABB vs SBB), architecture governance (Architecture Board, compliance, contracts, ACMM), views/viewpoints/stakeholders, ADM guidelines and techniques, and the TRM and III-RM reference models. The credential carries lifetime validity with no recertification. OG0-091 is still actively offered in 2026 alongside the newer TOGAF 10 exams (OGEA-101/OGEA-103). Exam fee is $360 USD per The Open Group's 2026 retail schedule.

About the TOGAF 9 Foundation Exam
The TOGAF 9 Foundation certification (OG0-091) validates Level 1 (Foundation) knowledge of the TOGAF 9.2 standard — the legacy edition still actively administered alongside TOGAF 10. It covers TOGAF basic and core concepts, the Architecture Development Method (ADM) and its phases, the Enterprise Continuum and Architecture Repository, ADM guidelines and techniques (principles, business scenarios, gap analysis, risk management, capability-based planning), architecture governance, views and viewpoints, building blocks, key deliverables, and the TOGAF reference models (TRM and III-RM).
Assessment
40 multiple-choice questions, distributed across 11 syllabus topic areas including Basic Concepts, Core Concepts, the full ADM (Preliminary through H + Requirements Management), Enterprise Continuum, Architecture Governance, Building Blocks, Views/Viewpoints, ADM Deliverables, Guidelines and Techniques, and Reference Models.

TOGAF 9 Foundation Exam Content Outline
Basic Concepts
Definition of TOGAF, definition of enterprise, definition of architecture (ISO 42010 alignment), TOGAF document structure (six parts), TOGAF certification levels (Foundation and Certified), and the four architecture domains (Business, Data, Application, Technology — BDAT).
Core Concepts
The Architecture Development Method as TOGAF's core; deliverables vs artifacts vs building blocks; Enterprise Continuum (Architecture and Solutions); Architecture Repository (Architecture Metamodel, Architecture Capability, Landscape, Standards Information Base, Reference Library, Governance Log); the four domain architectures and how they relate.
Introduction to the ADM
The ADM as TOGAF's central process — phases (Preliminary, A through H), Requirements Management at the centre, iteration types (Capability, Architecture Development, Transition Planning, Architecture Governance), adapting the ADM, scoping the architecture activity.
ADM Phases
Inputs, steps, and outputs of each ADM phase: Preliminary (establishing capability), A (Architecture Vision), B (Business Architecture), C (Information Systems — Data + Application), D (Technology Architecture), E (Opportunities and Solutions), F (Migration Planning), G (Implementation Governance), H (Architecture Change Management), and Requirements Management.
ADM Guidelines and Techniques
Architecture Principles (four-part template: Name, Statement, Rationale, Implications); Business Scenarios technique; Gap Analysis; Stakeholder Management; Risk Management (initial risk vs residual risk; effect × frequency); Business Transformation Readiness Assessment (BTRA); Capability-Based Planning; Migration Planning techniques.
Enterprise Continuum and Tools
Architecture Continuum (Foundation → Common Systems → Industry → Organization-Specific Architectures); Solutions Continuum (Foundation → Common Systems → Industry → Organization-Specific Solutions); Architecture Partitioning (Strategic, Segment, Capability); Architecture Repository structure and contents.
Architecture Governance
Architecture Board structure and responsibilities; Architecture Compliance Reviews; Architecture Contracts (Statement of Architecture Work, Business Users contract, Implementation contract); Architecture Capability Maturity Model (ACMM); Architecture Governance Framework — content, process, repository.
Views, Viewpoints, and Stakeholders
ISO 42010 view/viewpoint distinction (viewpoint = template/specification; view = what you see when applying the viewpoint to a system); stakeholder management technique; concerns; the Architecture Viewpoint Library.
Building Blocks
Architecture Building Blocks (ABBs) — define required capability/structure; Solution Building Blocks (SBBs) — fulfill ABBs; characteristics of good building blocks; ABBs evolve in Phases B/C/D while SBBs are identified in Phase E.
ADM Deliverables
Headline deliverables by phase: Request for Architecture Work (input), Statement of Architecture Work (Phase A output), Architecture Vision (A), Architecture Definition Document (B-D), Architecture Requirements Specification (B-D), Architecture Roadmap, Implementation and Migration Plan (F), Architecture Contract (G), Compliance Assessment (G).
TOGAF Reference Models
TOGAF Technical Reference Model (TRM) — taxonomy and graphic for the platform; Integrated Information Infrastructure Reference Model (III-RM) — focus on Boundaryless Information Flow; both are part of the Foundation Architecture in the Architecture Continuum.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the TOGAF 9 Foundation certification?
TOGAF 9 Foundation (OG0-091) is The Open Group's Level 1 certification covering the TOGAF 9.2 standard. It validates recall and basic comprehension of TOGAF terminology, the ADM, the Enterprise Continuum, Architecture Repository, architecture governance, building blocks, views/viewpoints, guidelines and techniques, and the TRM/III-RM reference models. It is the prerequisite knowledge for TOGAF 9 Certified (OG0-092) — Foundation alone does not qualify you for the higher Certified credential.
How is the OG0-091 exam structured?
40 multiple-choice questions in 60 minutes; passing score is 55% (22 correct). Closed-book. Distributed across 11 syllabus topic areas with weights ranging from 2.5% (Reference Models) to 20% (Introduction to ADM and ADM Phases). Delivered at Pearson VUE test centers or remotely via OnVUE proctoring. Results are reported immediately on completion.
Is TOGAF 9 still relevant in 2026 with TOGAF 10 available?
Yes. The Open Group continues to actively administer TOGAF 9 (OG0-091 and OG0-092) alongside TOGAF 10 (OGEA-101 and OGEA-103). Many enterprises still specify TOGAF 9 in job postings and engagement criteria. TOGAF 9 credentials carry lifetime validity. If you prefer the current edition, take TOGAF 10 (OGEA-101) instead — coverage overlaps substantially; the ADM is largely unchanged.
How much does OG0-091 cost?
Per The Open Group's 2026 retail voucher schedule, OG0-091 costs USD $360. Accredited training providers may bundle the voucher with their training courses at a discount. There is no application fee — just the exam fee. If you intend to complete TOGAF 9 Certified, the OG0-093 Combined voucher (Part 1 + Part 2 in one sitting) is more cost-effective than two separate exams.
How hard is the OG0-091 exam?
Foundation-level — well-prepared candidates pass on the first attempt at a high rate (industry estimates ~80%). The 55% passing score is the lowest among major TOGAF exams. The challenge is in concept distinctions: ABB vs SBB, view vs viewpoint, deliverable vs artifact, SoAW vs Architecture Contract, Foundation vs Common Systems Architecture in the Continuum. Plan 30-50 hours of study including 100+ practice questions, aiming for 85%+ on practice tests.
What study materials are recommended?
The TOGAF 9.2 standard itself (free PDF from opengroup.org/togaf), focusing on Part I (Introduction), Part II (ADM), Part III (Guidelines and Techniques), Part IV (Architecture Content Framework), Part V (Enterprise Continuum and Tools), Part VI (Architecture Capability Framework). Reading Part VII (Reference Models) at an overview level is sufficient for Foundation. Supplement with 100+ practice questions and an Open Group Accredited Training Course Provider if budget allows.
Is OG0-091 valid for life?
Yes — TOGAF certifications carry lifetime validity, including OG0-091. There is no recertification or continuing-education requirement. The TOGAF 9 Foundation credential remains valid as long as The Open Group recognizes the TOGAF 9 standard, which is currently expected for the foreseeable future. A bridging exam to TOGAF 10 is also available if you want the current-edition credential.
Should I take OG0-091 or OGEA-101 (TOGAF 10)?
If you have no existing TOGAF investment, take OGEA-101 (TOGAF 10) — it covers the current edition of the standard. If your employer or target role specifies TOGAF 9, or you already have TOGAF 9 training materials, take OG0-091. The bodies of knowledge overlap substantially; both are Foundation level; both are lifetime credentials. The Open Group offers a TOGAF 9 → 10 bridge so a switch later is straightforward.
