TOGAF TOGAF ADM Phases 1 — Questions and Answers
Question 1: Which ADM phase is concerned with defining the scope, constraints, and expectations for a new architecture engagement?
- Phase A: Architecture Vision
- Phase B: Business Architecture
- Preliminary Phase (Correct answer)
- Phase C: Information Systems Architecture
Correct answer: Preliminary Phase
The Preliminary Phase establishes the architecture capability, defines the scope, and sets up the governance framework before formal ADM cycles begin.
Question 2: What is the primary output of Phase A (Architecture Vision) in the ADM?
- Architecture Definition Document
- Statement of Architecture Work (Correct answer)
- Architecture Roadmap
- Capability Assessment
Correct answer: Statement of Architecture Work
The Statement of Architecture Work is the key deliverable of Phase A, formally defining the scope and approach for the architecture project.
Question 3: Which ADM phase focuses on identifying gaps between the Baseline and Target Technology Architectures?
- Phase B
- Phase C
- Phase D (Correct answer)
- Phase E
Correct answer: Phase D
Phase D (Technology Architecture) develops the Baseline and Target Technology Architectures and performs gap analysis between them.
Question 4: In the ADM, what does Phase E (Opportunities and Solutions) primarily produce?
- Architecture Vision Statement
- Work Packages and Implementation Roadmap (Correct answer)
- Business Scenarios
- Architecture Principles
Correct answer: Work Packages and Implementation Roadmap
Phase E generates Work Packages, identifies major implementation projects, and produces the initial Architecture Roadmap.
Question 5: Which phase of the ADM is responsible for managing the transition from the current to the target architecture?
- Phase F
- Phase G (Correct answer)
- Phase H
- Phase E
Correct answer: Phase G
Phase G (Implementation Governance) provides architectural oversight of the implementation and ensures conformance with the defined architecture.
Question 6: What is the central hub of the ADM cycle that all phases revolve around?
- Architecture Vision
- Requirements Management (Correct answer)
- Architecture Repository
- Architecture Board
Correct answer: Requirements Management
Requirements Management is the central process in the ADM that manages architecture requirements throughout all phases.
