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 the 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 lessonslearned prior to finalizing the plan. You recommend that lessons learned be applied as changes to the
architecture without review.
