Which ADM Phase includes obtaining approval for the Statement of Architecture Work?

The Preliminary Phase focuses on establishing the architecture capability and customizing TOGAF, not on obtaining approval for a specific Statement of Architecture Work for an individual architecture project.

Phase A: Architecture Vision is the initial phase where the architecture vision is developed, the business value is established, and the Statement of Architecture Work is finalized and approved, setting the foundation for subsequent ADM phases. This document serves as a contract between the architecture team and stakeholders, outlining the scope, deliverables, and constraints of the architecture engagement.

Phase B: Business Architecture focuses on developing the business architecture, which occurs after the Statement of Architecture Work has been approved.

Phase F: Migration Planning deals with creating a detailed implementation and migration plan, which is much later in the ADM cycle.

Phase G: Implementation Governance focuses on overseeing the implementation of the architecture, ensuring conformance, and occurs after the architecture has been defined and planned.
