1. Architecture Development Method
   1. Designed to address needs providing:
      1. A set of architecture views
      2. Guidelines on tools for architecture development
      3. A set of recommended deliverables
      4. Links to practical case studies
      5. A method for managing requirements
   2. An iterative process:
      1. over the whole process
      2. between phases
      3. within phases
   3. For each iteration, reconsider:
      1. Scope
      2. Detail
      3. Schedules
      4. Milestones
   4. Consider assets from:
      1. Previous iterations
      2. Marketplace, according to availability, competence and value
   5. Phases
      1. Preliminary: prepare the organization for a successful project
      2. A: Architecture vision
      3. B: Business Architecture
      4. C: Information System architecture
      5. D: Technology Architecture
      6. E: Implementation Planning
      7. F: Migration Plan
      8. G: Implementation Governance
      9. H: Change Management
2. ADM Guidelines and Techniques
3. Architecture content framework
   1. Deliverables
      1. Formal Products
      2. Contractually specified
      3. Output from a project
      4. A deliverable can contain many artifacts
   2. Artifacts
      1. Fine grained products that describe an architecture from a specific viewpoint
      2. Classified as:
         1. Catalogs
         2. Matrices
         3. Diagrams
   3. Building Blocks
      1. Components that can be combined with other bb to deliver architectures and solutions
   4. Provides
      1. A comprehensive checklist of outputs
      2. Better integration of work products if adopted across the ent
      3. A detailed open standard for how arch should be described
   5. Content Metamodel
      1. Composed of
         1. Core
         2. Extensions
      2. Formalizes the definition of an Ent Arch
      3. Formalizes the relationship between objects
      4. Enables an EA tool mapping
      5. Entities
         1. Actor
         2. Application component
         3. Business Service
         4. Data Entity
         5. Function
         6. Organization
         7. Role
         8. Technology Component
4. Enterprise Continuum
   1. Based on architectures and solutions
      1. Models, patterns, arch descriptions
      2. Deliverables produced in this iteration of the ADM
      3. Deliverables produced in other iterations of the ADM
      4. assets from the industry at large
      5. Showing how artifacts evolve
   2. The Architecture Repository is a practical implementation
      1. Stores output from the ADM
         1. Metamodel: describes the arch fw in use within the ent
         2. Architecture Landscape: shows the state of the operating Ent at particular points in time
            1. Strategic Architectures
            2. Segment Architectures
            3. Capability Architectures
         3. Reference Library: contains resuable arch work products
         4. Standards information base
            1. Business
            2. Applications
            3. Data
            4. Technology
         5. Governance Log
         6. Arch Capability: describes roles, skills and responsibilities of the EA practice
   3. Combination of 2 concepts
      1. Architecture continuum
         1. Foundation Architectures
         2. Comon Systems architectures
         3. Industry Architectures
         4. Organizaiton-specific Architectures
      2. Solutions Continuum
         1. Foundation Solutions
         2. Common Systems Solutions
         3. Industry Solutions
         4. Organization-specific Solutions
   4. Provides a common language within the enterprise and between the ent, customers and vendors
