Exam OGEA-103 Topic 1 Question 8 Discussion

According to the TOGAF standard, the objectives of each ADM phase are as follows1:
* Phase E: Opportunities and Solutions
o Determine whether an incremental approach is required, and if so identify Transition Architectures that will deliver continuous business value o Identify and group major work packages within the Architecture Roadmap o Identify and group major implementation projects to realize the Architecture Roadmap o Identify dependencies between increments and projects o Estimate cost, benefit, and risk at a high level for each increment and project o Conduct initial prioritization and sequencing of the Architecture Roadmap and projects
* Phase F: Migration Planning
o 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 o Confirm the Transition Architectures with relevant stakeholders o Create the Implementation and Migration Plan, including Transition Architectures, work packages, projects, and other activities o Confirm and agree the Architecture Roadmap and Implementation and Migration Plan with relevant stakeholders
* Phase G: Implementation Governance
o Finalize the Architecture Roadmap and the supporting Implementation and Migration Plan o Ensure conformance with the Target Architecture by implementation projects o Perform appropriate Architecture Governance functions for the solution and any implementation-driven architecture Change Requests o Ensure that the architecture lifecycle is maintained o Ensure that the Architecture Governance Framework is executed
* Phase H: Architecture Change Management
o Ensure that the business value and cost of work packages and Transition Architectures is understood by key stakeholders o Manage risks and issues related to the Architecture Roadmap and Implementation and Migration Plan o Monitor the implementation projects and Transition Architectures o Manage changes to the architecture baseline o 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
