Risk Management (1/2)

by

The Architecture Development Method (ADM) of the TOGAF Standard describes a number of techniques a practitioner has at his disposal. Risk Management is the second-to-last technique that is described. Since it is addressed in several phases (Phase A and Phases E through H), it can be seen as an integral part of architecture development.

I have said it before: the TOGAF Standard is awesome. If you make an effort to really understand the framework you will agree with me.
