TP Banking is a strong financial institute with a well-known acquisition history with an internal IT
department managing over 100 projects related to infrastructure and services.
The CIO has decided to create an Enterprise Architecture based on TOGAF 9 as reaction to the
difficult market conditions. An Architecture Vision and a set of domain architectures were approved.
The CIO is asking you (the Lead Architect) to define an Implementation and Migration Plan that
realizes the vision already agreed with the stakeholders involved.
Refer to the scenario above
You are leading a group of domain architects and you are working with the corporate PMO, the
business strategy team and service operations. You are meeting the stakeholders to clarify how you
want to proceed with the Implementation and Migration Plan.
Choose one of the following answers

A.
You propose to start collecting the existing deliverables describing the different domains in order
to enable the Enterprise Architecture tram to integrate them with the support of the operation
management. Every domain architect will then evaluate the impact on the projects already planned
for the domain. The single revised plans will be integrated together and consolidated into a strategic
implementation and migration strategy defining an IT roadmap.

B.
You communicate the need for urgency. The projects already planned will be cancelled and the
implementation of the new architecture vision will be set as first priority. A set of new projects will
be defined to implement the new strategy. You will use the requirements from Phases B through D
and define new projects for each one of the requirements. The use of defined interoperability
architecture guidelines will then enable the project teams to work together and define a set of new
point-to-point interfaces.

C.
You describe the concept of Transition Architectures and clarify that the business value can be
achieved by all the projects delivering their increments in a coordinated approach. Capability gaps
and project dependencies are analyzed for each domain this will then enable the projects to be
organized in work packages. You will then agree on the roadmap for the implementation and
migration strategy meeting with all the key stakeholders.

D.
You communicate the CIO’s will to transform the corporation and then that he’s seeking help from
the domain architects to do that. The requirements are managed in order to enable every Architect
to participate to the planning that will result in a detailed list of work activities with impact on the IT
portfolio of projects. A five year Target Architecture will then be defined and a report will keep track
of dependencies and factors assessment.
