TOGAF — Architecture Development Method (ADM) — Part 1
The Architecture Development Method (ADM) is a key component of the TOGAF (The Open Group Architecture Framework) and provides a step-by-step approach to designing and implementing an enterprise architecture (EA). The ADM includes nine phases, each of which is focused on a specific aspect of EA planning and implementation:
The Preliminary Phase is an important step in the architecture development process, as it sets the foundation for the rest of the ADM. It helps to ensure that the architecture development effort is focused, well-planned, and has the support of key stakeholders.
Phase A: Architecture Vision: This phase establishes the overall goals and objectives of the EA initiative and defines the scope of the initiative.
Phase B: Business Architecture: This phase identifies the business processes and functions that are required to support the organisation’s goals and objectives.
Phase C: Information Systems Architectures: This phase defines the data, application, and technology architectures that are required to support the organisation’s business processes and functions.
Phase D: Technology Architecture: This phase defines the technical infrastructure and platforms that are required to support the organisation’s information systems architectures.
