Army Design Methodology (ADM)

An Army methodology for framing ill-structured problems and developing an operational approach before (and during) detailed planning.
Defines Army design methodology, ADM

Army Design Methodology (ADM) is an Army methodology for framing the operational environment, framing the problem, and developing an operational approach so that detailed planning stays connected to reality [usarmy2015atp5_0_1].

ADM exists because many operational problems are ill structured: the goal is contested, the system is complex, cause and effect are uncertain, and the “right” solution depends on judgments that cannot be reduced to a checklist.
