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 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.

B.
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.

C.
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 the
projects. They should then document the lessons learned and generate the final
Implementation and Migration Plan.

D.
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.
