MightyGears produces components for the Car industry. Driven by the global financial downturn
they are looking to reduce IT costs. They believe there is a cost saving opportunity within IT but this
is not quantified in terms of potential savings nor is there an agreed target architecture. Final
decisions on the solutions are not yet fully agreed. They have completed the first pass architecture
and now are looking at the best opportunities and solutions to meet their financial goals.
You are the Chief Architect from a consulting organization brought into review the work to date by
MightyGears and to make recommendations to the CIO and the board on the opportunities and
solutions present.
Refer to the scenario above
Which of the following answers best describes how TOGAF recommends examining the
opportunities and solutions before presenting to the board?
Choose one of the following answers
A.
I would examine the architecture work today ensuring it is complete and accurate and addressing
any gaps. I would look at functional and integration requirements. I would then ensure all
dependencies are understood and documented. I would then create the necessary artefacts
including major work packages and transition architectures and the project charters for the
recommended projects for presentation to the board.
B.
I would assess the architecture work today, create, and priorities projects to transition Widget Inc
from the current architecture to target architecture. This will include a business value for each
project, the resources required and the intended timing. I would then validate the prioritizations
with the board particularly looking at cost benefits and risks. Lastly, I would generate the
Architecture Implementation Roadmap and document lessons learned.
C.
I would assess the requirements of the organization particularly those requirements describing
the functions required and information flows within the architecture. I would then look to produce
artifacts that describe the recommended projects, the risk, issues and dependencies. This would also
include transition architects to move us from current architecture to the recommended target
architectures. I would present my recommendations to the board for agreement. Once this is done, I
would update the architectures reflecting any changes resulting from the board discussion.
D.
I would look at the corporate culture and attitude to change, understand the constraints such as
cost and the required time horizons. I would then look at the architecture work to ensure it is
complete and seek to address any gaps. I would review the functional requirements and ensure
there are complete interoperability requirements. I would then validate any dependencies and risks.
Then formulate an implementation and migration strategy identifies major work packages and the
transition architecture required. Finally, once agreement is reached with the board I will create
project charters and re-factor any changes needed from the board discussion into the architecture.

48) I think the answer should be D
I agree with answer I found on another site:
D is the correct answer. This is the most complete description of the TOGAF approach to the Opportunities and Solutions phase this is specifically different from the other answers because it includes an assessment of the organisation. TOGAF refers to this as ‘Determine/confirm key
corporate change attributes’
C is the second best answer, this misses out the assessment of key corporate change attributes.
A is the third best answer because this misses out assessment of key corporate change
attributes, and does not include the creation of portfolio and project charters and a
retrospective update of the architectures.
B is the red herring answer this is a description of the Migration phase in ADM.

D is the best answer for me as it is follow Opp and Solution phase steps of togaf.
D includes what mentioned in A.
I dont know why this website consider A is the best answer.

A is correct, this is opportunity and solutions, no resource estimation are required at this stage. D is incorrect

Yes, this is Opportunities & Solution (O&S) Phase, Only Option D clearly lists the steps of O&S.

I think the answer is D
The scenario is same with question 31, and for that question, the answer the website raise is same with D

Project charters are the optional output of Phase F.

project charters is both in A and D
Any particular reason of A (Different than Q:31) ?

I think D is best answer because:
Steps for Phase E: Opportunities & Solutions:
* Determine/confir m key cor porate change attributes (see Section 13.4.1)
* Deter mine business constraints for implementation (see Section 13.4.2)
* Review and consolidate gap analysis results from Phases B to D (see Section 13.4.3)
* Review consolidated requirements across related business functions (see Section 13.4.4)
* Consolidate and reconcile interoperability requirements (see Section 13.4.5)
* Refine and validate dependencies (see Section 13.4.6)
* Confir m readiness and risk for business transfor mation (see Section 13.4.7)
* Formulate Implementation and Migration Strategy (see Section 13.4.8)
* Identify and group major wor k packages (see Section 13.4.9)
* Identify Transition Architectures (see Section 13.4.10)
* Create the Architecture Roadmap & Implementation and Migration Plan (see Section
13.4.11)
what do you think?

Option D would be the best possible answer as it covers steps of Phase E.

D is a Distractor….Correct Option is A. Project charter is created (optional) in Phase F

Precise answer is A w.r.t to cost saving.
Whereas Option D covers additional steps i.e interoperability review, gap analysis, risks/dependencies etc.. of Togaf phases which already defined in (BDAT phases).
“They have completed the first pass architecture and now are looking to at best oppourtunities and solutions to meet their financial goals”
Going through with the same steps, will not generated Efficient & cost effective results, Hence Option D can be considered as 2nd best choice.

I agree with the answer. A

D is the beset answer, the 2nd best is C
Consider phase E’s steps below
Determine/confirm key corporate change attributes
Determine business constraints for implementation
Review and consolidate gap analysis results from Phases B to D
Review consolidated requirements across related business functions
Consolidate and reconcile interoperability requirements
Refine and validate dependencies
Confirm readiness and risk for business transformation
Formulate Implementation and Migration Strategy
Identify and group major work packages
Identify Transition Architectures
Create Architecture Roadmap & Implementation and Migration Plan

The question is : “how TOGAF recommends examining the opportunities and solutions before presenting to the board?”
Well, the good answer is D then: It lists the steps to create the Implementation and Migration Strategy (KLP 13.4)

I also answered D but agree that the correct answer is A because project has already completed first phase which also includes phase E. As a consultant at this stage, one will just review the incomplete work and fill-in the gaps before presenting to the board.

First pass could be just BDAT phases (Iterations – Tailored TOGAF). So now they may be at Opportunities and Solutions phase. There is no direct mention that they did O&S prior (we cannot assume that). Based on that D is the right answer. Matches completely to Spec.
