Which architecture domain is the first architecture activity undertaken in the ADM cycle?

Application
Business
Data
Technology

The correct answer is: Business

The first architecture activity undertaken in the Architecture Development Method (ADM) cycle is in the Business architecture domain. This focuses on understanding the overall context of the enterprise, including its business strategy, governance, organization, and key processes. By starting with the Business architecture, architects can align IT initiatives with business goals effectively, ensuring that any subsequent developments in the Data, Application, and Technology domains are relevant and supportive of the organization's objectives. This initial phase is crucial as it lays the groundwork for all other architecture domains, providing a clear understanding of the organization’s needs and strategic direction. This alignment at the outset is essential for the success of the architectural effort and helps to ensure that the architecture is fit for purpose.
