Study Notes
TOGAF Architecture Development Cycle Overview
- The ADM cycle consists of 8 phases (A‐H) with Continuous Requirements Management at the center
- Preliminary Phase involves preparation and initiation activities, defining the enterprise, choosing frameworks, and evaluating enterprise maturity
- Architecture Vision (Phase A) involves developing a high‐level vision, obtaining approval for a Statement of Architecture Work, defining scope, estimating resources, and developing a roadmap
- Business Architecture (Phase B) includes developing the baseline and target business architecture, identifying gaps, and assessing architecture maturity and capability
- Information Systems Architecture (Phase C) involves developing baseline and target data and application architecture separately, and identifying gaps
- Technology Architecture (Phase D) includes developing baseline and target technology architecture and identifying gaps
- Opportunities and Solutions (Phase E) involves creating an initial Architecture Roadmap, formulating implementation and migration strategy, and identifying work packages
- Requirements Management Center operates continuously, assessing the impact of changes such as new competitors, legislation, or company policies
- The ADM is iterative across the whole process, between phases, and within phases
- ADM iterations involve defining baseline and target architectures, transition planning, governance, and architecture capability
- Preliminary Phase involves defining “the enterprise,” choosing frameworks, evaluating enterprise maturity, and defining architecture principles
- Architecture Vision (Phase A) involves developing a high‐level vision, obtaining approval for a Statement of Architecture Work, defining scope, and estimating resources
