Which one of the following is a key objective of Phase A of the TOGAF ADM?

Creating an Architecture Roadmap is typically part of Phase F, Migration Planning, not Phase A.

Preparing a Solution Architecture is a more detailed activity that would occur in later ADM phases, not the initial Vision phase.

Defining an IT Strategy is a broader organizational activity that informs architecture, but Phase A specifically focuses on the architecture vision, not the overall IT strategy.

Resource allocation for implementation happens much later in the ADM cycle, typically during Migration Planning (Phase F) or Implementation Governance (Phase G).

Phase A, Architecture Vision, is specifically designed to articulate the Architecture Vision, which involves defining the scope of the architecture effort, identifying stakeholders, and creating a high-level view of the baseline and target architectures to obtain approval. This initial phase sets the context and direction for the entire architecture development cycle.
