Question 36/56

Please read this scenario prior to answering the question
You are employed as an Enterprise Architect consultant within a manufacturing company. The company hasmultiple business units located worldwide, including retail, manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, and technology.
The company has a mature Enterprise Architecture (EA) practice and uses the TOGAF standard for itsarchitecture development method. The EA practice is engaged throughout all the business units, withgovernance provided by multiple Architecture Boards with responsibility for a business line. In addition to theEA program, the company uses a number of management frameworks, including business planning, project/portfolio management, and operations management. The EA program is sponsored by the ChiefInformation Officer (CIO).
After a recent study, senior management are concerned about the impact of the company's multiple datacenters and duplication of applications on the business efficiency. To address the concern, a strategicarchitecture has been defined; it will help improve the ability to meet customer demand and improve theefficiency of operations. The strategic architecture involves the consolidation of multiple applicationsprograms that are currently used in different business units and putting them all onto a cloud- based solutioninstead.
Each business unit has completed the Architecture Definition documentation to meet its own specificoperational requirements. The Enterprise Architects have analyzed the corporate changes andimplementation constraints. A consolidated gap analysis has been completed. Based on its results, thearchitects have reviewed the requirements, dependencies and interoperability requirements needed tointegrate the cloud-based solution. The architects have completed the Business Transformation ReadinessAssessment. Based on all these factors they have produced a risk assessment. They have also completedthe draft Implementation and Migration Plan, the draft Architecture Roadmap, and the CapabilityAssessment deliverables.
Due to the risks of changing from the current environment, the decision has been taken that a gradualapproach is needed to implement the target architectures. It will likely take a few years to complete thewhole implementation process.
Refer to the scenario
You have been asked to decide on the next steps for the migration planning.
Based on the TOGAF standard which of the following is the best answer?

A. You update the Architecture Definition Document, which includes setting project objectives and documenting the final requirements. This will ensure that the architecture remains relevant and responsive to the needs of the enterprise. You then produce an Implementation Governance Model to manage the lessons learned prior to finalizing the Implementation and Migration plan. You recommend that lessons learned be quickly applied as changes to the architecture.

B. You estimate the business value for each project by applying the Business Value Assessment Technique. The assessment should focus on return on investment and performance evaluation criteria used to monitor the progress of the architecture transformation. You confirm and plan a series of Transition Architecture phases using an Architecture Definition Increments Table. You then document the lessons learned and generate the final Implementation and Migration Plan.

C. You need to determine how the Implementation and Migration plan fits with the other frameworks being used in the organization. You coordinate the planning with the business planning, project/portfolio management and operations management frameworks. You assign a business value to each project, considering the available resources and how well they align with the strategy. You then update the architecture roadmap and the Implementation and Migration Plan.

D. You conduct a Compliance Assessment to ensure that the architecture is being implemented according to the contract. The Compliance Assessment verifies that the implementation team is using the proper development methodology. It should also include deployment of monitoring tools. If the monitoring tools show that performance targets are not being met, then the performance requirements should be changed and the Implementation and Migration Plan updated.

Correct Answer: C

OptionCaligns best withTOGAF Phase F: Migration Planning, which deals with developing adetailed Implementation and Migration Plan, ensuringalignment with other enterprise frameworks, and assigning business valueto work packages and projects.
#TOGAF Phase F Activities (from the standard):
* Confirm Management Framework Interactions:
* Per TOGAF,Phase Fensures that the migration planning isaligned with the business planning, portfolio/project management, and operations management frameworksused by the enterprise (which are mentioned in the scenario).
* TOGAF emphasizes coordination between EA and other enterprise governance processes.
* Prioritize Projects:
* TOGAF recommends usingbusiness value, resource availability, and strategic alignmentto prioritize the various work packages and projects for implementation.
* This is directly referenced in option C:"assign a business value to each project, considering the available resources and how well they align with the strategy."
* Update Roadmaps and Implementation Plan:
* After coordination and prioritization, theArchitecture Roadmapand theImplementation and Migration Planare updated.
* This is essential before formal governance (Phase G).
#Why the Other Options Are Incorrect:
* A: Incorrect focus on updating the Architecture Definition Document and lessons learned.
* The Architecture Definition Document is mostly finalized in Phases B-E.
* Lessons learned and governance modeling are more relevant toPhase G(Implementation Governance) andPhase H(Architecture Change Management), not Phase F.
* B: Although it mentions theBusiness Value Assessment Technique(a valid tool in TOGAF), it includes Architecture Definition Increments Table, which isnot a standard TOGAF artifact.
* Also, "document the lessons learned" isprematurein Phase F; these are more applicable inPhase H).
* D: Focuses onCompliance Assessment, which is part ofPhase G(Implementation Governance),not Phase F.
* Changing performance requirements based on monitoring tools is handled duringoperations and change management, not during migration planning.

"Activities include confirming the enterprise's capability for transition, prioritizing projects, identifying dependencies and resource availability, and co-ordinating with other management frameworks."
* TOGAF 9.2 - Section 11.4 Outputs:
* Architecture Roadmap (updated)
* Implementation and Migration Plan (updated)
* Business Value Assessment
* Consolidated Gaps, Solutions, and Dependencies
