The graphic illustrates a method for developing alternative target architectures in Phase E of the TOGAF ADM1. The method involves identifying and evaluating candidate architectures based on criteria such as business value, cost, risk, and feasibility1. The method helps to identify the most suitable architecture solution for the enterprise.
The graphic illustrates a method that supports the TOGAF ADM by identifying and evaluating alternative target architectures. The process begins with a vision, influenced by principles and requirements, leading to the consideration of alternatives. Each alternative is assessed based on different criteria, leading to the selection of the most suitable target architecture. This is consistent with the TOGAF approach of developing a set of potential architectures and then selecting the one that best meets the enterprise's needs.
