What does re-sequencing mean within the TOGAF ADM?

Re-sequencing within the TOGAF ADM refers to the rearrangement of phases or activities to better align with the specific needs of a project. In the realm of enterprise architecture, it's important to remain flexible and adaptive to the circumstances surrounding a project. This might involve shifting the traditional sequence of the ADM phases to accommodate urgent deadlines, availability of resources, or stakeholder requirements. By allowing for this flexibility, organizations can ensure that their architectural efforts are more closely aligned with their operational goals and immediate challenges.

This approach also emphasizes the iterative nature of the ADM, which encourages continuous alignment with changing business needs and priorities. The ability to re-sequence phases enables practitioners to tailor the architecture process to effectively address real-world complexities, improving overall project outcomes and stakeholder satisfaction.
