The architecture development method (ADM) is a step-by-step software architecture design approach specifically made for enterprise architectures. The ADM was created from the contributions of many software architecture practitioners.
Like the other architecture design methods that we have covered, the ADM is an iterative process. The process as a whole is iterative, but it is also iterative between phases and within a single phase. Each iteration is an opportunity to revisit scope, the level of detail to be defined, schedules, and milestones.
