Scenario
Please read this scenario prior to answering the question
Your role is consultant to the Lead Architect within a multinational semiconductor and software
design company. Its largest business is in processors, although it also designs system-on-a-chip
infrastructure and manufactures memory chips. A characteristic feature of its processors is their low
electric power consumption, which makes them particularly suitable for use in portable devices. As
well as licensing its technology, the company has several manufacturing divisions.
The company has a mature enterprise architecture practice and uses TOGAF 9 for the basis of its
architecture framework. In addition to the EA program, the company has a number of management
frameworks in use, including business planning, portfolio/project management, and operations
management. The EA program is sponsored by the CIO.
The company has defined a strategic architecture to improve its ability to meet customer demand
and improve its ability to manage its supply chain. The strategic architecture called for the
consolidation of multiple Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) applications that have been operating
independently in the divisions’ production facilities. The goal is to replace the functionality of the
existing applications with a new ERP product running as a single instance in the company’s primary
data center.
Each division has completed the Architecture Definition documentation required to tailor and
configure the environment to meet its own specific manufacturing requirements.
The enterprise architects have analyzed the key corporate change attributes and implementation
constraints. A consolidated gap analysis has been completed which has identified the gaps across the
Business, Data, Application, and Technology domains. Based on the results of the gap analysis, the
architects have reviewed the requirements, dependencies and interoperability requirements needed
to integrate the new ERP environment into the existing environment. The architects have completed
the Business Transformation Readiness Assessment started in Phase A.
Based on all of these factors they have produced a risk assessment. They have also completed the
Implementation and Migration Plan v0.1, the draft Architecture Roadmap, and the Capability
Assessment deliverables.
Because of the risks posed by the complexity of the current environment, it has been determined
that a phased approach is needed to implement the target architectures. The overall
implementation process is estimated to take several years.
Refer to the Scenario
You have been asked to recommend the next steps to prepare the final Implementation and
Migration Plan.
Based on TOGAF, which of the following is the best answer?

A.
You recommend that the enterprise architects apply the Business Value Assessment Technique to
prioritize the implementation projects and project increments. The assessment should focus on
return on investment and performance evaluation criteria that can be used to monitor the progress
of the architecture transformation. They should confirm the Transition Architecture phases using an
Architecture Definition Increments Table to list tine projects. They should then document the
lessons learned and generate the final Implementation and Migration Plan.

B.
You recommend that the enterprise architects conduct a series of Compliance Assessments to
ensure that the architecture is being implemented according to the contract. The Compliance
Assessment should verify that the implementation team is using the proper development
methodology. It should include deployment of monitoring tools and ensure that performance
targets are being met. If they are not met, then changes to performance requirements should be
identified and updated in the Implementation and Migration Plan.

C.
You recommend that the enterprise architects assess how the plan impacts the other frameworks
in use in the organization. Minimally, the plan should be coordinated with the business planning,
portfolio/project management and operations management frameworks. They should then assign a
business value to each project, taking into account available resources and priorities for the projects.
Finally, they should generate the Implementation and Migration Plan.

D.
You recommend that the enterprise architects place the Architecture Definition Document under
configuration control. This will ensure that the architecture remains relevant and responsive to the
needs of the enterprise. They should then produce an Implementation Governance Model to
manage the lessons learned prior to finalizing the plan. You recommend that lessons learned be
applied as changes to the architecture without review.
