Architecture process
Integrates decisions being made and the process of architectural decision making. The architectural process is part of the development of ideas and initiatives. A systems point of view is part of the shared cultural vocabulary.

Architecture development
discussions / decisions and the space where the systems architecture is being expressed architecture grows beyond a series of discussions into a (digital) space where target architectures, system models, ideas, initiatives, patterns and heuristics are emerging.
