The inflexibility of the baseline IT technical architecture

The realities of resource and time constraints often mean there is not enough time, funding, or resources to build a top-down, all-inclusive architecture description encompassing all four architecture domains

Which of the following statements about Requirements Management phase is correct?

It focuses on minimizing changes to requirement

This phase is executed at the beginning

It does not dispose of, address, or prioritize any requirements; this is done within the relevant phase of the ADM
