What is part of the approach in the ADM Preliminary Phase?
Defining the enterprise is a fundamental task in the ADM Preliminary Phase. This phase sets the stage for all subsequent activities by establishing the context, scope, and key requirements. It involves identifying the key elements and drivers that influence the architecture and defining the framework and principles that will guide the architecture work throughout the ADM cycle.
This Preliminary Phase is about defining "where, what, why, who, and how we do architecture" in the enterprise concerned. The main aspects are as follows: 1) Defining the enterprise. 2) Identifying key drivers and elements in the organizational context. 3) Defining the requirements for architecture work. 4) Defining the Architecture Principles that will inform any architecture work. 5) Defining the framework to be used. 6) Defining the relationships between management frameworks. 7) Evaluating the Enterprise Architecture maturity.
