Agile Sprints to ADM Mapper

Map agile sprint ceremonies and artefacts to ADM phases so teams using Scrum or Kanban can see where architecture fits without adding a parallel waterfall process.

Agile ceremonies mapped to the TOGAF ADM phases

Each recurring Scrum ceremony is one row, tied to the ADM activity it carries, the architecture artefact it produces and the cadence it runs at, so the TOGAF method has a clear home inside the sprint rhythm.

The mapping keeps architecture inside delivery rather than beside it: refinement feeds the backlog, planning produces the increment's artefact, and the review tests it against the architecture contract.

Agile ceremonies mapped to the TOGAF ADM phases An agile-ceremony to ADM-phase mapping for a London Grid DSO programme. Rows are recurring Scrum ceremonies: backlog refinement, sprint planning, sprint review and retrospective. Columns give the ADM activity each ceremony carries, the architecture artefact it produces and the cadence it runs at. The worked example runs every ceremony each sprint, keeping architecture one step ahead of delivery.
