Which phase does each objective match?

Consider the following ADM phases objectives.

Objective

1-Determine whether an incremental approach is required, and if so identify Transition Architectures that will deliver continuous business value

2-Generate the initial complete version of the Architecture Roadmap, based upon the gap analysis and candidate Architecture Roadmap components from Phases B, C, and D

3-Finalize the Architecture Roadmap and the supporting Implementation and Migration Plan

4-Ensure that the business value and cost of work packages and Transition Architectures is understood by key stakeholders

Which phase does each objective match?
A . 1E-2F-3E-4F
B . 1G-2E-3F-4F
C . 1E-2E-3F-4F
D . 1F-2E-3F-4G

Answer: B

Explanation:

According to the TOGAF standard, the objectives of each ADM phase are as follows1:

• Phase E: Opportunities and Solutions

– Determine whether an incremental approach is required, and if so identify Transition Architectures that will deliver continuous business value

– Identify and group major work packages within the Architecture Roadmap

– Identify and group major implementation projects to realize the Architecture Roadmap oIdentify dependencies between increments and projects

– Estimate cost, benefit, and risk at a high level for each increment and project oConduct initial prioritization and sequencing of the Architecture Roadmap and projects • Phase F: Migration Planning

– Generate the initial complete version of the Architecture Roadmap, based upon the gap analysis and candidate Architecture Roadmap components from Phases B, C, and D

– Confirm the Transition Architectures with relevant stakeholders

– Create the Implementation and Migration Plan, including Transition Architectures, work packages, projects, and other activities

– Confirm and agree the Architecture Roadmap and Implementation and Migration Plan with relevant stakeholders

• Phase G: Implementation Governance

– Finalize the Architecture Roadmap and the supporting Implementation and Migration Plan oEnsure conformance with the Target Architecture by implementation projects

– Perform appropriate Architecture Governance functions for the solution and any implementation-driven architecture Change Requests

– Ensure that the architecture lifecycle is maintained

– Ensure that the Architecture Governance Framework is executed • Phase H: Architecture Change Management

– Ensure that the business value and cost of work packages and Transition Architectures is understood by key stakeholders

– Manage risks and issues related to the Architecture Roadmap and Implementation and Migration Plan – Monitor the implementation projects and Transition Architectures

– Manage changes to the architecture baseline

– Manage changes to the Architecture Capability

Therefore, the correct matching of the objectives and the phases is:

• 1G: Determine whether an incremental approach is required, and if so identify Transition Architectures that will deliver continuous business value

• 2E: Generate the initial complete version of the Architecture Roadmap, based upon the gap analysis and candidate Architecture Roadmap components from Phases B, C, and D

• 3F: Finalize the Architecture Roadmap and the supporting Implementation and Migration Plan

• 4F: Ensure that the business value and cost of work packages and Transition Architectures is understood by key stakeholders
