TOGAF 9 Foundation (Level 1) — Question 239

In which part of the ADM cycle do the earliest building block definitions start as abstract entities?

Answer options

• A. Phases E and F
• B. Preliminary Phase
• C. Phase B, C, and D
• D. Phase G and H
• E. Phase A

Correct answer: E

Explanation

The correct answer is E, as Phase A focuses on the architecture vision and is where the earliest definitions of building blocks are conceptualized. The other phases, such as B, C, D, E, F, G, and H, deal with more concrete development and implementation aspects rather than the initial abstract definitions.
