Exam OG0-093 topic 1 question 178 discussion

In Phase H it is critical that the governance body establish criter ia to judge whether a Change Request warrants just an architecture update or whether it warrants starting a new cycle of the ADM. It is especially important to avoid "creeping elegance", and the governance body must continue to look for changes that relate directly to business value. An Architecture Compliance report should state whether the change is compliant to the current architecture. If it is non-compliant, an exemption may be granted with valid rationale. If the change has high impact on the architecture, then a strategy to manage its impact should be defined.

32.2.11 Change Request Purpose During implementation of an architecture, as more facts become known, it is possible that the original Architecture Definition and requirements are not suitable or are not sufficient to complete the implementation of a solution. In these circumstances, it is necessary for implementation projects to either deviate from the suggested architectural approach or to request scope extensions. Additionally, external factors - such as market factors, changes in business strategy, and new technology opportunities - may open up opportunities to extend and refine the architecture. In these circumstances, a Change Request may be submitted in order to kick-start a further cycle of architecture work. https://pubs.opengroup.org/architecture/togaf9-doc/arch/chap32.html

B. To request a dispensation or to kick-start a further cycle of architecture work
