ADM Phases & Objectives - Preliminary Phase:

  • To review the organizational context for conducting enterprise architecture

  • To identify the sponsor stakeholder(s) and other major stakeholders impacted by the business directive to create an enterprise architecture and determine their requirements and priorities from the enterprise, their relationships with the enterprise, and required working behaviors with each other

  • To ensure that everyone who will be involved in, or benefit from, this approach is committed to the success of the architectural process

  • To enable the architecture sponsor to create requirements for work across the affected business areas

  • To identify and scope the elements of the enterprise organizations affected by the business directive and define the constraints and assumptions (particularly in a federated architecture environment)

  • To define the "architecture footprint" for the organization - the people responsible for performing architecture work, where they are located, and their responsibilities

  • To define the framework and detailed methodologies that are going to be used to develop enterprise architectures in the organization concerned (typically, an adaptation of the generic ADM)

  • To confirm a governance and support framework that will provide business process and resources for architecture governance through the ADM cycle; these will confirm the fitness-for-purpose of the Target Architecture and measure its ongoing effectiveness (normally includes a pilot project)

  • To select and implement supporting tools and other infrastructure to support the architecture activity

  • To define the architecture principles that will form part of the constraints on any architecture work
