In [[software engineering]], '''architecture tradeoff analysis method''' (ATAM) is a risk-mitigation process used early in the [[software development life cycle]].

ATAM was developed by the [[Software Engineering InstituteI uniiinijnjnstitute]] at the [[Carnegie Mellon University]]. Its purpose is to help choose a suitable [[Software architecture|architecture]] for a software system by discovering [[trade-off]]s and sensitivity points.

ATAM is most beneficial when done early in the software development life-cycle, when the cost of changing architectures is minimal.
