THE TOGAF ADM CYCLE
The ADM is about understanding existing architectures and working out the best way to change and
improve them.
Never used without some adaptation, the ADM is more like a cookbook of recommendations, ideas
and checklists than a set way of doing things.
Think of it in three chunks and bear in mind that in a large enterprise, there may be quite a few
projects all using different phases of the ADM.
3
Find ways to make the changes, and
then make it happen
H B
Opportunities & Solutions: Here we move away from a wholly
architectural perspective to figure out how you’re going to deliver,
fund and resource the changes.
Migration Planning: The detailed planning here is more the
province of project managers than architects, but get involved to
make sure commitment is in line with the architecture vision.
G C
Implementation Governance: Along with the policing role of
monitoring each project and solution, this phase needs a delicate
political sensitivity to remind people of the long term vision and
persuade them not to compromise.
Architecture Change Management: When projects and solutions
are unable to meet original expectations - due to cuts in spending,
F D
changes in priority or lack of funding and resources - you need to
revisit the other phases to address the consequences.
Requirements Management: At the heart of the EA role, this is
where a good EA can manage diverse stakeholder concerns and
create an integrated view of how the architecture will evolve. All
work products created or used in the other phases are managed
here!
1
Set up an EA team and make sure it
can do its work
Preliminary: Although out of the main circle, you need to keep
referring back to it to assess effectiveness of both the EA team and
its initiatives. This stage is about the on-going improvement of EA
capabilities.
Preliminary Architecture Vision: This isn’t a one-off before everything else
- architecture visions emerge slowly. And EA is unique in having a
holistic view of all stakeholders, complexity and change, and this is
constantly evolving. Communication is the key.
A
2
Get a good picture of the
architecture: Now and in the future
Business Architecture: It’s important to be independent from
technology - planned or current. Focus on business capabilities,
Requirements process, and products, and relate all analysis to business from an
architectural perspective.
Management
Information System Architecture: ISA breaks down into data and
applications. It doesn’t matter which one you start with - it’s likely
that you’ll have to adjust both as the bigger picture emerges.
Technology Architecture: Focus here is on architecture of IT
platforms, especially hardware and communications. It’s important to
E
separate the different concerns of business, information systems and
technology stakeholders.

This phase prepares the way for the initiation of the ADM. The
outputs from the steps conducted are the foundation from which the

Steps
Preliminary Phase steps center on identifying organizations involved, how the enterprise is governed, finding the right people to conduct the transition from current to target architectures, firmly define principles by which all
aspects of the transition can be judged, integrating TOGAF into the corporate environment, and selecting the right tools for the right job.

Steps
The architecture change process determines how changes are to be managed, what techniques are applied, and what methodologies used. It also identifies which phases of the ADM are
impacted by changes e.g. changes that affect only migration may be of no interest to architecture development phases.

timescales, and business metrics). Once requirements for the current ADM cycle have been finalized, the
