[All OG0-092 Questions]

Scenario:
You have been assigned the role of Chief Enterprise Architect within a leading North American information technology services company. The company has a number of service portfolios including infrastructure, applications, business process outsourcing, accounting, and financial services.
With numerous practice areas and a multitude of diverse engagements underway at any given time, overall engagement management within the company has become challenging. The company does not want to risk its outstanding reputation or its international certifications and CMM ratings.
The Chief Executive Officer and Chief Information Officer have co-sponsored the creation of an Enterprise Architecture prog-am based on TOGAF 9. An
Architecture Board has been formed comprised of IT staff executives and executives from the major practice areas.
The Enterprise Architecture team has been working with the Strategic Planning team to create a strategic enterprise architecture to address these issues. The team has defined a framework and held workshops with key stakeholders to define a set of architecture 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. This includes a solution architecture including three distinct transformations.
The CIO has made it clear that prior to the approval of the detailed Implementation and Migration plan, the EA team will need to assess the risks associated with the proposed architecture. He has received concerns from some of the senior partners 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. You recommend that before preparing the detailed Implementation and Migration plan, the EA team should review and consolidate the gap analysis results from Phases B to D to understand the transformations that are required to achieve the proposed Target Architecture. The EA team should assess the readiness of the organization to undergo change. Once the Solution Architecture has been assembled, it should be analyzed using a state evolution table to determine the Transition Architectures.
  • B. You recommend that the EA team apply an interoperability analysis to evaluate any potential issues across the Solution Architecture. This should include the development of a matrix showing the interoperability retirements. Once all of the concerns have been resolved, the EA team should finalize the Architecture Roadmap and the Implementation and Migration Plan.
  • C. You recommend that the EA team apply the Business Transformation Readiness Assessment technique which will allow the risks associated with the transformations to be identified and mitigated for, it will also identify improvement actions to be worked into the Implementation and Migration Plan. A Business Value Assessment should be used to determine the business value and associated risks for the transformation.
  • D. You recommend that 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. A value realization process should then be established to ensure that the concerns raised are addressed.

Selected Answer: C
C is the correct answer, because the main concerns are adressed: "the EA team will need to assess the risks associated with the proposed architecture" --> Business Transformation Readiness Assessment: Phase E (step 12.3.7) "they are not sure it can produce sufficient value to warrant the attendant risks" --> Business Value Assessment: Phase F (step 13.3.2)

Should be A as BTR is required to review the organization's readiness to undergo change.

Option C mentions the Business Transformation Readiness Assessment technique, which is useful for identifying risks and improvement actions, but it does not address the need to consolidate gap analysis results and determine Transition Architectures.

Should be A. "The EA team should assess the readiness of the organization to undergo change" -> This is the same as Business Transformation Readiness Assessment. Assessing risk is part of it. Plus, there's a mention of Review and Consolidate Gap Analysis Results from Phases B to D in A.

A also makes sense. But I also decided to go for C as there are more TOGAF wording in it. Also I interpreted the statement "The CIO has made it clear that prior to the approval of the detailed Implementation and Migration plan" that you can go the effort und do a BTRA in Phase F.
