✅ What Is QTAM?
The Quick Technical Architecture Method (QTAM) is a streamlined approach to architecture work—perfect for technical professionals who need to move fast, stay clear, and align with stakeholders.
Inspired by the TOGAF® ADM but redesigned for real-world agility, QTAM breaks down architectural analysis into 6 focused actions.
🎯 Design the Architecture Vision
Define the purpose, scope, and stakeholders. Establish the "why" behind the architecture
effort and align expectations early.
✅ Clarifies goals and aligns expectations upfront.
🏢 Design the Business Architecture
Map the business context. Understand the value chain, impacted roles, and how
architecture influences business operations.
✅ Captures the business view to ensure relevance and alignment.
🧩 Design the Information Systems Architecture
Identify the key applications and data flows. Ensure information systems support the
targeted business change.
✅ Connects the business vision to system behaviors and data flows.
🔌 Design the Technology Architecture
Define the infrastructure and technologies. Explore implementation options and assess
feasibility.
✅ Aligns technical choices with operational and project constraints.
📦 Consolidate the Work Packages
Translate analysis into tangible work. Group gaps and tasks into actionable packages
with effort and dependencies.
✅ Turns insights into plans your teams can act on.
🧭 Design the Course of Action
Build the transformation roadmap. Sequence work packages, define milestones, and
identify risks.
✅ Provides stakeholders with a clear, value-driven implementation plan.
