The TOGAF Architecture Development Method (ADM) provides a tested and repeatable process for developing architectures. The ADM includes establishing an architecture framework, developing architecture content, transitioning, and governing the realization of architectures

Phases within the ADM are as follows:

The Preliminary Phase

Describes the preparation and initiation activities required to create an Architecture Capability including customization of the TOGAF framework and definition of Architecture Principles

Phase A: Architecture Vision

Describes the initial phase of an architecture development cycle.
It includes information about defining the scope of the architecture development initiative, identifying the stakeholders, creating the Architecture Vision, and obtaining approval to proceed with the architecture development.

Phase B: Business Architecture

Describes the development of a Business Architecture to support the agreed Architecture Vision

Phase C: Information Systems Architectures

Describes the development of Information Systems Architectures to support the agreed Architecture Vision

Phase D: Technology Architecture

Describes the development of the Technology Architecture to support the agreed Architecture Vision

Phase E: Opportunities & Solutions

Conducts initial implementation planning and the identification of delivery vehicles for the architecture defined in the previous phases

Phase F: Migration Planning

Addresses how to move from the Baseline to the Target Architectures by finalizing a detailed Implementation and Migration Plan

Phase G: Implementation Governance

Provides an architectural oversight of the implementation

Phase H: Architecture Change Management

Establishes procedures for managing change to the new architecture

Requirements Management

Operates the process of managing architecture requirements throughout the ADM
