Actual exam question from The Open Group's OGEA-103
Question #: 46
Topic #: 1
[All OGEA-103 Questions]

Please read this scenario prior to answering the question.
Your role is consultant to the Lead Architect within a multinational company that manufactures electronic components. The company has several manufacturing divisions located worldwide and a complex supply chain. After a recent study, senior management have stated a concern about business efficiency considering the company's multiple data centers and duplication of applications.
The company has a mature Enterprise Architecture (EA) practice and uses the TOGAF architecture development method in its EA practice. In addition to the EA program, the company has several management frameworks in use, including business planning, project-portfolio management, and operations management. The EA program is sponsored by the CIO.
A strategic architecture has been defined to improve the ability to meet customer demand and improve management of the supply chain. The strategic architecture includes the consolidation of multiple Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) applications that have been operating independently in the divisions’ production facilities.
Each division has completed the Architecture Definition documentation to meet its own specific manufacturing requirements. The enterprise architects have defined a set of work packages that address the gaps identified. They have identified the value produced, effort required, and dependencies between work packages to reach a target architecture that would integrate a new ERP environment into the company.
Because of the risks posed by change from the current environment, the architects have recommended that a phased approach occurs to implement the target architecture with several transition states. The overall implementation process is estimated to take several years.
Refer to the scenario.
You have been asked what the next steps are for the migration planning.
Based on the TOGAF standard which of the following is the best answer?

  • A. You place the Architecture Definition Document under configuration control. This will ensure that the architecture remains relevant and responsive to the needs of the enterprise. You would identify the development resources to undertake the projects. You would then produce an Implementation Governance Model to manage the lessons learned prior to finalizing the plan. You recommend that lessons learned be applied as changes to the architecture without review.
  • B. You estimate the business value for each project by applying 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 and plan a series of Transition Architecture phases using an Architecture Definition Increments Table that lists the projects.
  • C. You assess how the Implementation and Migration plan impacts the other frameworks in use in the organization. Minimally, you ensure that the plan is coordinated with the business planning, project/portfolio management and operations management frameworks. You would then assign a business value to each work package, considering available resources and strategic fit. You then use the work packages to identify projects that will be in the Implementation and Migration Plan.
  • D. You 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 you would identify changes to performance requirements and update those in the Implementation and Migration Plan.

Selected Answer: C
C is the right answer because it talks about the next steps of migration planning, which is directly inclined towards the ask of the question. It discusses the next steps of migration planning, which is assigning a business value to every work package. Other options do not talk about the next steps in the migration planning phase, and hence can be easily discarded.

Value, efforts dependencies and risks are already identified, and transition states are recommended by architects. Therefore, next step is Phase: Migration Planning

"Because of the risks posed by change from the current environment, the architects have recommended that a phased approach occurs to implement the target architecture with several transition states. The overall implementation process is estimated to take several years." The technique of creating an Architecture Definition Increments table allows the architect to plan a series of Transition Architectures outlining the status of the enterprise architecture at specified times. https://pubs.opengroup.org/architecture/togaf91-doc/arch/chap28.html

"The assessment should focus on return on investment and performance evaluation criteria that can be used to monitor the progress of the architecture transformation >> Business Value Assessment Technique is not used to monitor the transformation progress, therefore Option B is not correct. Answer is C.

Correct Answer C, it follows the steps of phase F : Migration Planning https://pubs.opengroup.org/togaf-standard/adm/chap10.html#tag_10_03 I think B is the second best choice. I don't find the worst answer, between A and D
