What does “ADM” stand for?
Architecture Development Method
What does the ADM do?
The ADM develops and manages the lifecycle of Enterprise Architecture
What does the ADM establish?
An architecture framework
Develops architectures and architecture content
How does the ADM get an enterprise from their baseline to target architecture?
It governs the realization and transition of architectures
How many phases are in the ADM?
10 total
8 arranged in a cycle
True or False: EAs need to follow the ADM cycle in order, completing all steps
False: the ADM should be adapted to meet the needs of the enterprise
The steps are recommendations, not requirements
The ADM is a reference model that…
deliver solutions in an architected way
identifies interacting components and relationships
What are the (10) phases of the ADM?
Preliminary Phase
A. Architecture Vision
B. Business Architecture
C. Information System Architecture
D. Technology Architecture
E. Opportunities and Solutions
F. Migration Planning
G. Implementation Governance
H. Architecture Change Management
Requirements Management
Which 2 phases of the ADM are NOT organised in the cycle?
Preliminary phase
Requirements Management
What is the Preliminary phase of the ADM?
It creates the architecture capability of an organization
It builds up the EA discipline within the enterprise
It is where you customize the TOGAF frameowrk to your needs
Where you define the Architecture Principles
What is Phase A of the ADM?
Architecture Vision - initializes the architecture development cycle
What does Phase A. Architecture Vision, of the ADM entail?
Phase A initializes an architecture development cycle
Initial phase of the architecture development cycle
Defines the scope of the architecture development initiative
Identifies stakeholders
Creates Architecture Vision
Obtains approval to proceed with the architecture development
What is the definition of Architecture Vision?
Rough overview of the architecture to be developed
What is Phase B of the ADM?
Business Architecture
What is Phase C of the ADM?
Information Systems Architecture
What is addressed in Phase C - Information Systems Architecture, of the ADM?
Data Architecture
Applications Architecture
What is Phase D of the ASM?
Technology Architecture
What do Phases B, C, and D, do in the ADM?
B: Business Arch
C. Information Systems Arch
D. Technology Arch
All three are architectures that are developed to support the agree Architecture Vision
What is Phase E of the ADM?
Opportunities and Solutions
What occurs in Phase E: Opportunities and Solutions of the ADM?
Conduct the initial implementation planning from baseline to target architecture
Identify delivery vehicles for the architecture defined in the previous phases
What are “delivery vehicles” for architecture delivery?
The programme, projects, and portfolios used to implement the architecture
What is Phase F?
Migration Planning
What occurs in Phase F: Migration planning in the ADM?
Describes how to move from the Baseline to the Target architectures
Finalize a detailed Implementation and Migration Plan
What is Phase G of the ADM?
Implementation Governance
What occurs within Phsae G: Implementation Governance of the ADM?
Supports projects that provide an architectural oversight of the implementaion
*ensures implementation is aligned with the target architecture
What is Phase H of the ADM?
Phase H = Architecture Change Management
What occurs within Phase H: Architecture Change Management in the ADM?
Establish procedures to managing change to the new architecture
Holding phase to keep ADM running, until a change request is approved and ADM re-cycles
Do you have to re-cycle through the entire ADM if a change request is made in Architecture Change Management?
Yes - if a change to the architecture is approved — recycle through the ADM to address it on all levels, business, IT, implementation, etc.
What is the “Requirement Management” phase of the ADM?
Manages the requirements during the ADM cycle
operates the process of managing architecture requirements through the ADM
Continuous phase for requirements management
Ensures changes to requirements are handled through appropriate governanc eprocess and relfected in all phases
When does requirement management occur within the ADM?
All the time - it is a continuous phase for requirements management
Does output from each phase need to be complete, prior to moving onto the next phase?
No - outputs of each stage are defined and may be at different levels of complete
Outputs can be incrementally completed throughout the phases
What are “outputs” from stages of the ADM?
Generally, artifacts and deliverables
True or False: The entire ADM with all its phases in arranged in a cycle
False - 8 of the 10 phases are in a cycle; preliminary is befor ethe cycle and requirements management is continuous
Which phase of the ADM creates the Architecture Capability of an organization?
Preliminary phase
Which phase(s) of the ADM develop architectures to support the Architectural Vision?
Phase B: Business Arch
Phase C: Information Systems Arch
Phase D. Technology Arch
What is the initial phase of the Architecture development cycle?
Phase A: Architecture Vision
(preliminary is befor ethe cycle begins)
Which phase of the ADM conducts the initial implementation planning from baseline to target architecture?
Phase E: Opportunities and Solutions
Which phase identifies the delivery vehicles for the architecture?
Phase E: Opportunities and Solutions
Now that the baseline and target architecture are defined and the plans to get there are complete, what phase begins?
Phase G: Implementation Governance
Which phase ensures that the implementation is in line with the target architecture?
Phase G: Implementation Governance
Which phase is the holding phase in the ADM, to keep it running?
Phase H: Architecture Change Management
Which phase in the ADM is reponsible for managing architecture requirements?
Requirements Management
What is an “artifact”?
The architectural work product that describes aspects of the Enterprise Architecture
Catalogs, diagrams, and matrices are examples of what?
Artifacts
What is a “deliverable”?
The architectural work products that are contracturally specified and approved?
Which architectural work product is contractually specified and reviewed?
Deliverable
What format do “deliverables” usually come in?
Document
Which architectural outputs / work products may be transitioned into an Architecture Repository
Deliverable
True or False: Deliverables contain artifacts
True - deliverables often contain many artifacts, such as catalogs, lists, matrices, diagrams, etc.
True or False: Artifacts contain deliverables
False — deliverables contain artifacts
What 2 phases of deliverables are there?
Draft
Approved
Are all approved deliverables final?
No, they may evolve in subsequent ADM phases - which requires a formal change control process, if already approved
What is a “stakeholder”?
An individual, team, organisation, or class thereof, having and interest in a system
What is a “concern”?
An interest in a system relevant to one or more of its stakeholders and their goals
What would you call a general aspect that EA stakeholders are interested in?
A “concern”
What areas may a concern pertain to?
Any aspect of the system’s functioning, development or operation, including considerations such as performance, reliability, security, distribution, and evolvability

Yes
A requirement is the result of what?
A stakeholder identifying a concern, and it being addressed
What is an “Architecture Viewpoint”?
