What is the Approach for Preliminary Phase
1. Define the **Enterprise** - Scope, Stakeholders, Extent 2. **Identify Key drivers** in Org context: Business models, Process, Skills, Culture, Capabilities 3. Define **Requirement for Architecture Work**: Business need, Cultural aspiration, Org intent, Strategic intent, Financial forecast 4. Define **Architecture Principles** 5. Define the **Framework** to be used: Business capability, PMO, Operations and Solution development 6. Define **relationships** between management frameworks 7. Evaluate architecture **maturity**
19

23
ADN Phase F approach
- Finalize the Architecture Roadmap- Finalize Implementation and Migration Plan- Integrate plan with enterprise change activity- Assess dependencies, cost, benefits of choices
