What enterprise architecture framework is commonly used to link business processes to strategic objectives?

The selected answer is accurate because TOGAF (The Open Group Architecture Framework) is specifically designed to help organizations align their business processes with their strategic objectives. It provides a structured approach through its Architecture Development Method (ADM), which allows businesses to develop an enterprise architecture that not only addresses technical and information architecture but also considers business goals and processes.

TOGAF focuses on understanding the broader organizational objectives and then facilitates the alignment of the IT infrastructure and processes to support those objectives. This alignment is crucial for ensuring that business strategies are effectively implemented through appropriate processes and systems.

In contrast, while other frameworks like COBIT focus on governance and management of IT processes, ITIL emphasizes IT service management best practices, and the Zachman Framework addresses the organization of enterprise architecture artifacts, they do not primarily aim to link business processes directly to strategic business objectives in the comprehensive manner that TOGAF does. Thus, TOGAF stands out as the framework most suited for this specific task.
