Explanation

When little or no existing architecture documentation is available, TOGAF recommends a bottom-up approach to developing the Baseline Business Architecture. This means cataloging and documenting what actually exists in the enterprise - people, processes, systems, and data - before abstracting upward. A top-down approach assumes an existing framework to refine; refactoring implies existing assets to restructure; envisioning focuses on the target state. Bottom-up is the practical starting point when you must discover the baseline from scratch.
