which of the following is the best answer?

Scenario
Please read this scenario prior to answering the question Your role is consultant to the Lead
Architect within a company that manufactures a variety of small electromechanical devices. As part
of a corporate-wide Lean Manufacturing initiative, the company has defined a strategic architecture
to improve its ability to meet consumer 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 several of 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. 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. 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 PhaseA .
Based on all of these factors they have produced a risk assessment. 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 The Implementation and Migration Plan v0.l, the draft
Architecture Roadmap, and the Capability Assessment deliverables are now complete. You have
been asked to recommend the next steps to prepare the final Implementation and Migration Plan.
Based on TOGAF 9, which of the following is the best answer?

A.
You would 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. You would confirm the Transition Architecture phases using an Architecture
Definition Increments Table to list the projects. You would then document the lessons learned and
generate the final plan.

B.
You would 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. You would then assign a business value to
each project, taking into account available resources and priorities for the projects. Finally, you
would generate the Implementation and Migration Plan.

C.
You would conduct a series of Compliance Assessments to ensure that the implementation team
is implementing the architecture 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.

D.
You would place the strategic Architecture Definition and Transition Architectures under
configuration control as part of the ongoing architecture development cycle. This will ensure that
the architecture remains relevant and responsive to the needs of the enterprise. You would then
produce an Implementation Governance Model to manage the lessons learned prior to finalizing the
plan. You recommend that lessons learned be accepted by the Architecture Board as changes to the
architecture without review.

    Hey guys, you’re just leaving phase E and starting phase F (far from phase G)
    So it couldn’t be answer C that deals with implementation.

    First step in phase F is “assess how the plan impacts the other frameworks in use in the organization” (see 14.4)

    So B that list most phase F steps.
