Explanation

TOGAF distinguishes between simplification changes and incremental changes. A simplification change reduces complexity - for example, consolidating servers - without altering the operating characteristics or capability of the architecture. Because the fundamental architecture remains unchanged, a full ADM cycle or complete re-architecting is unnecessary. An incremental change, by contrast, adds new functionality or capability. Server consolidation that leaves application behavior identical is the textbook example of a simplification change.
