TOGAF (The Open Group Architecture Framework) provides a comprehensive methodology for developing enterprise architecture. The core is the Architecture Development Method (ADM) - an iterative cycle of 10 phases.
| Domain | Focus | Artifacts |
|---|---|---|
| Business | Processes, capabilities, organization | Business process models, capability maps |
| Data | Information assets, data management | Data models, data flow diagrams |
| Application | Applications and their interactions | Application portfolio, integration diagrams |
| Technology | Infrastructure and platforms | Technology standards, deployment diagrams |
Establish the architecture capability within the organization.
Starting a new EA initiative or formalizing existing practices.
Create a high-level vision aligned with strategic goals.
Beginning a new architecture project or major initiative.
Develop the business architecture to support the vision.
Understanding business needs before technical solutions.
Define data and application architectures.
Designing the systems that support business capabilities.
Define the technology infrastructure.
Selecting platforms, infrastructure, and technology standards.
Identify implementation approaches and projects.
Planning how to get from current to target state.
Create detailed implementation roadmap.
Creating the execution plan with timelines and dependencies.
Oversee architecture implementation.
Projects are executing; ensuring they follow the architecture.
Manage changes to the architecture over time.
Maintaining and evolving the established architecture.
Manage architecture requirements throughout all phases.
Note: This is a cross-cutting activity, not a sequential phase. Requirements management operates continuously across all ADM phases.

npx claudepluginhub melodic-software/claude-code-plugins --plugin enterprise-architectureProvides guidance for TOGAF ADM phases (preliminary, A-H, requirements) including purpose, objectives, key activities, deliverables, and connections to other phases. Useful for enterprise architecture development.
Creates ADRs in MADR format, arc42 documentation, and plan-context.md for architecture proposals. Handles branch verification, GitHub issue/PR creation, artifact triage, and backlog updates.
Guides system design, architecture reviews, ADR creation, hexagonal compliance, Mermaid/PlantUML diagram generation, and layer dependency enforcement.
