Defining an IT Architecture
nANSI/IEEE Standard 1471-2000nConceptually an IT Architecture is nThe fundamental organization of a system,nembodied in its components,ntheir relationshipsnto each othernand the environment,
nand the principles governing its design and evolution.nPractically it is represented in Architectural Descriptions from the
viewpoints of the Stakeholders
ANSI/IEEE Standard 1471-2000IEEE Recommended Practice for
Architectural Description ofSoftware-Intensive Systems

What is an Architectural Framework?
nArchitecture design is a complex process
nAn architectural framework is a tool for:nDesigning a broad range of a architecturesnAssisting the evaluation of different architecturesnSelecting and building the right architecture for an organization
n It embodies best practice and acknowledged wisdom
n It presents a set of services, standards, design concepts, components and configurations
n It guides the development of specific architectures

What is an Architectural Framework?
nUse of a framework leads to: nThe use of common principles, assumptions and terminologynThe development of information systems with better integration
and interoperability, especially with respect to issues that affect the whole enterprise
nWARNING!nA framework does not make architectural design an automatic
processnIt is a valuable aid to experienced and knowledgeable IT Architects

The ADM
n Is a comprehensive generalized method.
nWhere necessary it should be tailored to meet the specific needs of an organization:nsome phases may be unnecessary;nsome procedures may need modification;nsome new procedures may need adding;nthe whole may need to be adapted to interact with other
procedures and methodologies.
nChanges on a positive omission basis:nyou should have a good reason with a clear justification for making
a change;notherwise use the approach recommended by TOGAF.

Principles
The recommended approach for Enterprise Architecture development consists of a
preliminary phase followed by a cycle of nine phases.
These phases are iterative, both within each phase and
between the phases.
Sometimes these information sets are in the form of text documents that need to pass through some
formal acceptance, or approval, procedure.
However, this information will mainly be in the form of models generated by some form of IT Architecture tool. The models will be held in a repository and displayed

PreliminaryFramework &
Principles The objective of this phase is to
develop target architectures covering either or both (depending on project scope) of the Data and
Application Systems domains.The scope of the business
processes supported in this phase is limited to those that are supported by information
technology, and the interfaces of those IT-related processes to non-
IT-related processes.
For the Data Architecture, the
objective is to define the major types and sources
of data necessary to support the business, in a
way that is understandable by
stakeholders and which is complete, consistent and
stable.
For the Application Architecturethe objective he goal is to define what kinds of application systems are relevant to the enterprise, and what those applications need to do
in order to manage data and to present information to the human
