TP Banking is a strong financial institute with a well-known acquisition history with an internal IT department
managing over 100 projects related to infrastructure and services.
The CIO has decided to create an Enterprise Architecture based on TOGAF 9 as reaction to the difficult market
conditions. An Architecture Vision and a set of domain architectures were approved. The CIO is asking you (the
Lead Architect) to define an Implementation and Migration Plan that realizes the vision already agreed with the
stakeholders involved.
Refer to the scenario above
You are leading a group of domain architects and you are working with the corporate PMO, the business
strategy team and service operations. You are meeting the stakeholders to clarify how you want to proceed with
the Implementation and Migration Plan.
Choose one of the following answers

A.
You propose to start collecting the existing deliverables describing the different domains in order to enable
the Enterprise Architecture tram to integrate them with the support of the operation management. Every
domain architect will then evaluate the impact on the projects already planned for the domain. The single
revised plans will be integrated together and consolidated into a strategic implementation and migration
strategy defining an IT roadmap.

B.
You communicate the need for urgency. The projects already planned will be cancelled and the
implementation of the new architecture vision will be set as first priority. A set of new projects will be defined
to implement the new strategy. You will use the requirements from Phases B through D and define new
projects for each one of the requirements. The use of defined interoperability architecture guidelines will
then enable the project teams to work together and define a set of new point-to-point interfaces.

C.
You describe the concept of Transition Architectures and clarify that the business value can be achieved by
all the projects delivering their increments in a coordinated approach. Capability gaps and project
dependencies are analyzed for each domain this will then enable the projects to be organized in work
packages. You will then agree on the roadmap for the implementation and migration strategy meeting with
all the key stakeholders.

D.
You communicate the CIO’s will to transform the corporation and then that he’s seeking help from the
domain architects to do that. The requirements are managed in order to enable every Architect to
participate to the planning that will result in a detailed list of work activities with impact on the IT portfolio of
projects. A five year Target Architecture will then be defined and a report will keep track of dependencies
and factors assessment.
