which of the following is the best answer?

Scenario
Please read this scenario prior to answering the question
Your role is that of a consultant to the Lead Enterprise Architect in a company that develops photovoltaic
technologies for use in large-scale solar power farms. The company has three manufacturing facilities, two in
the United States, and one in Southern France. Each of these facilities supplies a different manufacturer that
assembles and sells complete systems. The solar panels and photovoltaic arrays are custom engineered to
meet each manufacturer’s design specifications.
A challenge that the solar power industry has faced is the efficiency of energy conversion. When a conventional
solar panel overheats, it becomes inefficient and generates less energy. In response to this, the research arm
of the company has pioneered the development of a new solar panel design that will produce up to 50% more
energy than standard solar panels when operating at elevated temperatures. This will allow the production of
significantly more useable energy per square meter than from standard solar technology. This new design is
ready to go into production.
The company has a mature Enterprise Architecture practice that is supported by a cross-functional Architecture
Board. TOGAF 9 is used for developing the automated manufacturing process and systems used to design,
manufacture and test the solar power technologies they produce. The Chief Information Officer and the Chief
Operating Officer co-sponsor the Enterprise Architecture program.
As part of putting the new solar panel design into production, a pilot architecture project at a single location has
defined an updated standard approach for controlling the automated test systems used to perform final quality
assurance. The Chief Engineer, sponsor of the activity, and the Architecture Board have approved the plan for
immediate implementation at each plant.
Architecture Contracts have been developed that detail the work needed to implement and deploy the new
automated test system controller for each location. The Chief Engineer has expressed concern that a uniform
process be employed at each location to ensure consistency and high yields.
Refer to the Scenario
The Lead Enterprise Architect has asked you to recommend the best approach to address the Chief Engineer’s
concern.
Based on TOGAF, which of the following is the best answer?

A.
You review the applicable Architecture Contract for each location, ensuring that it addresses the project
objectives, effectiveness metrics, acceptance criteria, and risk management. In cases where the contract is
issued to an external party, you ensure that it is a legally enforceable contract.
You schedule compliance reviews at key points in the implementation process to ensure that the work is
proceeding in accordance with the Architecture Definition. You ensure that the Architecture Board reviewsall deviations from the Architecture Contract, and considers whether or not to grant a dispensation to allow
the implementation organization to customize the process to meet their local needs.

B.
You create an Architecture Contract to manage and govern the implementation and migration process at
each location. For internal development projects, you issue a memorandum of understanding between the
Architecture Board and the implementation organization. For contracts issued to an external party, you
ensure that it is a fully enforceable legal contract.
You ensure that the Architecture Board reviews all deviations from the Architecture Contract, and considers
whether or not to grant a dispensation to allow the implementation organization to customize the process to
meet their local needs.

C.
You create an Architecture Contract to manage and govern the implementation and migration process. If
the contract is issued to an external party, you ensure that it is a fully enforceable legal contract. For internal
development projects, you decide it is adequate to utilize a memorandum of understanding between the
Architecture Board and the implementation organization.
You recommend that if a deviation from the Architecture Contract is detected, the Architecture Board grant
a dispensation to allow the implementation organization the ability to customize the process to meet their
local needs.

D.
You use the Architecture Contracts to manage the architecture governance processes for the project across
the locations. You deploy monitoring tools to assess the performance of each completed solar panel
assembly at each location and develop change requirements if necessary.
You recommend that if a deviation from the contract is detected, the Architecture Board should modify the
Architecture Contract to allow the implementation organization the ability to customize the process to meet
their local needs. As a result, you then issue a new Request for Architecture Work to implement the
modified Architecture Definition.
