**Question 1:** Which ADM phase(s) does this describe?

**Output & Outcome:** Work package description, Implementation and Migration strategy\
**Input:** Analysis of differences between the Baseline and Target Architectures\\

A: Phase D

B: Phase C

C: Phase F

<mark style="background-color:green;">**D: Phase E**</mark>

**Explanation**: Phase E: Opportunities and Solutions is where the initial implementation plans are formulated, and the migration strategy is developed. This phase takes the results of the gap analysis and begins to shape them into Work Packages, while also defining the Implementation and Migration strategy. The focus is on identifying major implementation projects and grouping them into work packages.\

**Question 2:** Which of the following architectural deliverables provides a set of quantitative statements that outline what an implementation project must do?

A: Blueprint

B: Catalog

<mark style="background-color:green;">**C: Architecture Requirements Specification**</mark>

D: Matrix

**Explanation**: The Architecture Requirements Specification provides a set of quantitative statements that outline what an implementation project must do in order to comply with the architecture. An Architecture Requirements Specification will typically form a major component of an implementation contract or contract for more detailed Architecture Definition.

***

**Question 3:** In TOGAF, which deliverable would typically provide a high-level (often contractual) representation of the overall architecture?

A: Detailed report

<mark style="background-color:green;">**B: Architecture Definition Document**</mark>

C: Matrix

D: Catalog

**Explanation**: The Architecture Definition Document provides a high-level representation of the architecture, often serving as a contractual means between stakeholders.
