Enterprise Architecture - Background and Basic Concepts

Since the middle and late last century, with the development of information technology, various industries, manufacturing industries, and even people's daily life areas have achieved rapid development in automation and efficiency. Increased investment in information technology has created a virtuous circle. It can be said that with the development of information technology, people's working methods have gradually changed from the traditional "blue-collar type" work methods to "white-collar type" work methods.

The ADM method is composed of a set of stages arranged in a ring according to the architecture development order of the architecture field. Through these development stages, the designer can confirm whether or not the complex business requirements have been fully discussed. One of the most famous ADM infrastructure diagrams in TOGAF is as follows: The ADM method is applied iteratively throughout the architecture development process, between phases, and within each phase. In the entire life cycle of ADM, each phase needs to confirm the design results based on the original business requirements. This also includes some unique stages in the business process. Confirmation work requires review of the company's coverage, time frame, level of detail, plan, and milestones. Each stage should take into account the reuse of architectural assets (formerly ADM iterations, other frameworks, system models, industry models, etc.).
