In TOGAF’s ADM, the Request for Architecture Work is the deliverable issued by the sponsoring organization (or stakeholder) to formally request that the architecture team perform a full architecture development cycle. That corresponds to your “deliverable 3.” Then, the architecture team responds by producing a Statement of Architecture Work (in Phase A), which defines the scope, constraints, approach, and highlevel tasks for the architecture development. That is your “deliverable 4” (the scope and approach). Thus deliverable 3 is the Request for Architecture Work, and deliverable 4 is generated in Phase A. The Request triggers the cycle; the Statement of Architecture Work (in Phase A) lays down how the architecture work will proceed, including scoping and approach.

In TOGAF, Phase E (Opportunities & Solutions) is the first phase that transitions from architecture models into actionable implementation. Within Phase E, architects identify candidate implementation projects or work packages, assess dependencies, cost/benefit, constraints, and derive a highlevel implementation and migration strategy and initial plans. That means the first planning around how to carry out the architecture begins in Phase E. Later phases refine and govern the implementation (e.g. in Phase F and G), but the initial planning belongs in Phase E. Thus Phase E includes the initial implementation planning.

In the context of TOGAF, a stakeholder is any individual, team, or organization who has interests in, or concerns relative to, the outcome of the architecture. Concerns are those interests which pertain to any aspect of the system’s functioning, development or operation, including considerations such as performance, reliability, and security1. References:
