Building deliverables for Phase A: Architecture Vision
In Phase A of the TOGAF Architecture Development Method (ADM) you establish the scope of the architecture effort, get buy in from senior management and line management, and develop the vision of the architecture effort.
For a full description on how to build the architecture at this phase, see the TOGAF documentation at:
The phase starts with a Request for Architecture Work, delivered from the sponsoring organization to the architecture organization, and results in a the production of a Statement of Architecture Work.
Deliverables for Phase A: Architecture Vision
Catalogs (Reports)
•Stakeholder Catalog.
Matrices
•No matrices are defined to be created during Preliminary Phase.
Core diagrams
•Solution Concept Diagram – as an aide to articulating the architecture vision, you can create Solution Concept diagrams to provide a high-level view of the solution for an initiative.
•Business Model Diagram.
•Business Capability Map.
Key definition types
The following outputs are created as a result of building Phase A:
•Statement of Architecture Work.
•Project, including scope, constraints, and the plan for the architectural work.
You can use the workspace functionality (see Creating a workspace) within System Architect to model these baseline and target architectures: creating a workspace for the baseline, version 0.1; creating a workspace for the target, version 0.1.
