Answer should be "Phase B", in "Phase A" we identify and define/refined statement. But don't do validation., I think in "Phase B" we validate. Refer to Phase B and Phase A Outputs

misleading answers here.. the answer isB: Phase A. http://www.togaf.com/admref/_chap05.html

The steps in Phase A are as follows: • 6.3.1 Establish the Architecture Project • 6.3.2 Identify Stakeholders, Concerns, and Business Requirements • 6.3.3 Confirm and Elaborate Business Goals, Business Drivers, and Constraints • 6.3.4 Evaluate Capabilities • 6.3.5 Assess Readiness for Business Transformation • 6.3.6 Define Scope • 6.3.7 Confirm and Elaborate Architecture Principles, including Business Principles • 6.3.8 Develop Architecture Vision • 6.3.9 Define the Target Architecture Value Propositions and KPIs • 6.3.10 Identify the Business Transformation Risks and Mitigation Activities 6.3.11 Develop Statement of Architecture Work; Secure Approval

To validate the business principles, business goals, and strategic business drivers of the organization and the enterprise architecture Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)

Correct answer: B - Phase A To validate the business principles, business goals, and strategic business drivers of the organization OR Phase A identifies the stakeholders and their concerns and requirements, and confirms business goals, drivers and constraints from the Preliminary Phase. https://pubs.opengroup.org/architecture/togaf811-doc/arch-redline/chap05.html https://www.orbussoftware.com/resources/video-library/video/adm-phase-a-architecture-vision

B - Normally, the business principles, business goals, and strategic drivers of the organization are already defined elsewhere in the enterprise. If so, the activity in Phase A is involved with ensuring that existing definitions are current, and clarifying any areas of ambiguity. Otherwise, it involves defining these essential items for the first time.

Answer should be Phase B https://pubs.opengroup.org/architecture/togaf9-doc/arch/index.html

Outputs for Phase B: Validated business principles, business goals, and business drivers

Output for phase B: • Validated business principles, business goals, and business drivers

Answer should be Phase B

http://www.togaf.com/admref/_chap05.html

https://pubs.opengroup.org/architecture/togaf92-doc/arch/chap07.html#tag_07_02_02 Phase B inputs Business principles, business goals, and business drivers https://pubs.opengroup.org/architecture/togaf92-doc/arch/chap07.html#tag_07_04 Phase B outputs include Refined and updated versions of the Architecture Vision phase deliverables, where applicable, including: * Validated business principles, business goals, and business drivers, updated if necessary

Phase A does not validate, however, refine. Architecture Vision Outputs Approved Statement of Architecture Work => Refined statements of business principles, business goals, and business drivers

Phase B: Business Architecture Outputs Statement of Architecture Work, updated if necessary => Validated business principles, business goals, and business drivers Refined and updated Architecture Principles, if applicable

Output of phase B is: Validated business principles, business goals, and business drivers

Answer is B https://pubs.opengroup.org/architecture/togaf9-doc/arch/ 6.3.3 Confirm and Elaborate Business Goals, Business Drivers, and Constraints Identify the business goals and strategic drivers of the organization. If these have already been defined elsewhere within the enterprise, ensure that the existing definitions are current, and clarify any areas of ambiguity. Otherwise, go back to the originators of the Statement of Architecture Work and work with them to define these essential items and secure their endorsement by corporate management. Define the constraints that must be dealt with, including enterprise-wide constraints and project-specific constraints (time, schedule, resources, etc.).

phase A includes validation of business principles , goals m strategic drivers and KPIs
