Scenario: St. Croix Consulting -
St. Croix Consulting started as an accounting and financial services company. It has expanded over the years and is now a leading North American IT and
Business Services provider.
With numerous practice areas and a multitude of diverse engagements underway at any given time, overall engagement management has become challenging.
The company does not want to risk its outstanding reputation or its international certifications and CMM ratings. Senior partners must become team players, working to support the broader needs of the company and its shareholders.
The Enterprise Architecture team has been working to create St. Croixs Enterprise Architecture framework to address these issues. The team has defined a preliminary framework and held workshops with key stakeholders to define a set of principles to govern the architecture work. They have completed an
Architecture Vision at a strategic level and laid out Architecture Definitions for the four domains. They have set out an ambitious vision of the future of the company over a five-year period.
An Architecture Review Board has been formed comprised of IT staff executives and executives from the major practice areas.
The Enterprise Architecture framework is based on TOGAF 9.
The Chief Executive Officer and Chief Information Officer have co-sponsored the creation of the Enterprise Architecture program.
You have been assigned to the role of Chief Enterprise Architect.
As the EA team prepares to formulate an Implementation plan, they have been asked by the CIO to assess the risks associated with the proposed architecture.
He has received concerns from senior management that the proposed architecture may be too ambitious and they are not sure it can produce sufficient value to warrant the attendant risks.
You have been asked to recommend an approach to satisfy these concerns.
Based on TOGAF 9, which of the following is the best answer?

  • A. An interoperability analysis should be applied to evaluate any potential issues across the Solution Architecture. Once all of the concerns have been resolved, the EA team should finalize the Architecture Implementation Roadmap and the Migration Plan.
  • B. The EA team should gather information about potential solutions from the appropriate sources. Once the Solution Architecture has been assembled, it should be analyzed using a state evolution table to determine the Transition Architectures.
  • C. Prior to preparing the Implementation plan, the EA team should create a consolidated gap analysis to understand the transformations that are required to achieve the proposed Target Architecture. The EA team should gather information about potential solutions from the appropriate sources. Once the Solution Architecture has been assembled, it should be analyzed using a state evolution table to determine the Transition Architectures. An interoperability analysis should be applied to evaluate any potential issues across the Solution Architecture.
  • D. Prior to preparing the Implementation plan, there are several techniques that should be applied to assess the risks and value of the proposed transformation. In particular, the EA team should pay attention to the Business Transformation Readiness Assessment and the Business Value Assessment.

I go with D as well since it mentioned the Business Transformation Readiness Assessment that are done in Phase A but will be taken out again in the Implementation Phase to evaluation implementation risk.

Selected Answer: D
The main concern is "produce sufficient value to warrant the attendant risks". So for this one we can use the technique "Business Transformation Readiness Assessment" that contains the risk analysis and the actions for the mitigation of the risk.

Selected Answer: C
Before to answer, you need to identify the phase where is the project. Based on "the EA team prepares to formulate an Implementation plan", I identified the E Phase, which "conducts initial implementation planning and the identification of delivery vehicles for the architecture defined in the previous phases". You cannot perform a risk assessment without a gap analysis. Risks are identified in the Consolidated Gaps, Solutions, and Dependencies Matrix (from Phase E). In Phase F you "Estimate the business value for each project using the Business Value Assessment Technique" as is written in D. So, based on the above, I consider that the C is the complete answer.

Option D is correct because this talks about Risk assessment. Also that there is a concern that the plan is aggressive. This can be evaluated by revisiting the Business Readiness assessment

A: There is no such thing as an “interoperability analysis” in TOGAF. Therefore, the answer is incorrect B: A “state evolution table” is used in the phase F “Migration Planning”. They are nowhere near this phase yet. Remember the ask is it so assess the risk with the inference of doing that “now”. Therefore, this answer is incorrect. C: GAP analysis does not address risk or business value, which are the two things the CIO has asked us to consider. The risks may be outside of the risk that an interoperability assessment would show. As such, I would not choose this answer. D: Being that they just ended or are about to end the vision phase, the timing to do the business transformation readiness assessment is okay. The business value assessment is listed in TOGAF as a technique to support migration phases E and F and NOT the vision phase, A. However, I don’t see any particular reason that it could not be used in phase A. As such, D is the correct answer.

Answer should be D based on this: A technique to assess business value is to draw up a matrix based on a value index dimension and a risk index dimension. The value index should include criteria such as compliance to principles, financial contribution, strategic alignment, and competitive position. The risk index should include criteria such as size and complexity, technology, organizational capacity, and impact of a failure. Each criterion should be assigned an individual weight. The index and its criteria and weighting should be developed and approved by senior management. It is important to establish the decision-making criteria before the options are known.
