EA Framework vs Methodology

A framework provides a structure to organize things. So the F in TOGAF means that there is a structure. One of the elements of this structure is a methodology. The methodology is called ADM (Architecture Development Method). A method is a way of doing things. Usually consisting of phases and steps. A methodology contains one or more methods. However in real life you have to be very careful. A lot of architects and other counterparts, are using terms like framework, method, methodology, approach and process in their own specific way. So I've made a practice to ask what it is they mean with this terms. Asking this early in the conversation usually avoids a lot of confusion and misunderstanding
