Scenario
MedInc Products Ltd.
Please read this scenario prior to answering the Question. MedInc Products Ltd. is a leading medical
device manufacturer in the highly competitive market for Migraine Headache Pain Management
(MHPM) devices. These tiny wireless devices are implanted in the brain and can deliver a precise
electric shock when the wearable Pain Control Unit (PCU) detects an increase in stress induced by
the onset of a migraine headache. This technology will be a breakthrough in the treatment of this
condition, and several competitors are striving to be the first to introduce a product into the market.
However, all of them must demonstrate the effectiveness and safety of their products in a set of
clinical trials that will satisfy the regulatory requirements of the countries in the target markets. The
Enterprise Architecture group at MedInc Products has been engaged in an architecture development
project to create a secure networked collaboration system that will allow researchers at its product
development laboratories worldwide to share information about their independent clinical trials.
The Enterprise Architecture group is a mature organization that has been utilizing TOGAF for several
years. The MedInc Architecture Development Method is strictly based on TOGAF 9 with extensions
required to support current good manufacturing practices and good laboratory practices in their
target markets. The project team has now completed the Business, Information Systems, and
Technology Architecture phases and has produced a complete set of deliverables for each phase.
Due to the highly sensitive nature of the information that is managed, special care was taken to
ensure that each architecture domain included an examination of the security and privacy issues
that are relevant for each domain. A corresponding Security Architecture has been defined. The
Executive Vice President for Clinical Research is the sponsor of the Enterprise Architecture activity.
He has stated that the changes to the enterprise architecture for the new system will need to be
rolled out on a geographic basis that will minimize disruptions to ongoing clinical trials. The work will
need to be done in stages and rolled out in geographical regions. Refer to the Medlnc Products Ltd.
Scenario You are serving as the Lead Architect for the project team. You have been asked to
recommend the approach to identify the work packages that will be included in the Transition
Architecture(s). Based on TOGAF 9, which of the following is the best answer?

A.
Create an Implementation Factor Assessment and Deduction Matrix and a Consolidated Gaps,
Solutions and Dependencies Matrix. For each gap, identify a proposed solution and classify it as new
development, purchased solution, or based on an existing product. Group similar solutions together
to form work packages. Identify dependencies between work packages factoring in the clinical trial
schedules. Regroup the packages into a set of Capability Increments scheduled into a series of
Transition Architectures and documented in an Architecture Definition Increments Table.

B.
Determine the set of Solution Building Blocks required by identifying which Solution Building
Blocks need to be developed and which need to be procured. Eliminate any duplicate building
blocks. Group the remaining Solution Building Blocks together to create the work packages using a
CRUD matrix. Rank the work packages in terms of cost and select the most cost-effective options for
inclusion in a series of Transition Architectures. Schedule the roll out of the work packages to be
sequential across the geographic regions.

C.
Use a Consolidated Gaps, Solutions and Dependencies Matrix as a planning tool. For each gap
classify whether the solution is either a new development, purchased solution, or based on an
existing product. Group the similar solutions together to define the work packages. Regroup the
work packages into a set of Capability Increments to transition to the Target Architecture taking into
account the schedule for clinical trials.

D.
Group the Solution Building Blocks from a Consolidated Gaps, Solutions and Dependencies Matrix
into a set of work packages. Using the matrix as a planning tool, regroup the work packages to
account for dependencies. Sequence the work packages into the Capability Increments needed to
achieve the Target Architecture. Schedule the rollout one region at a time. Document the
progression of the enterprise architecture using an Enterprise Architecture State Evolution table.
