Exam OG0-093 topic 1 question 209 discussion

Actual exam question from The Open Group's OG0-093
Question #: 209
Topic #: 1
[All OG0-093 Questions]

Scenario:
Please read this scenario prior to answering the Question.
The ABC Ltd. is a leading medical device manufacturer in the highly competitive market for Migraine Headache Pain Management (MHPM) devices. These tiny wireless devices are implanted in the brain and can deliver a precise electric shock when the wearable Pain Control Unit (PCU) detects an increase in stress induced by the onset of a migraine headache. This technology will be a breakthrough in the treatment of this condition, and several competitors are striving to be the first to introduce a product into the market. However, all of them must demonstrate the effectiveness and safety of their products in a set of clinical trials that will satisfy the regulatory requirements of the countries in the target markets.
The Enterprise Architecture group at the company has been engaged in an architecture development project to create a secure networked collaboration system that will allow researchers at its product development laboratories worldwide to share information about their independent clinical trials. The Enterprise
Architecture group is a mature organization that has been utilizing TOGAF for several years. The company Architecture Development Method is strictly based on
TOGAF 9 with extensions required to support current good manufacturing practices and good laboratory practices in their target markets. The project team has now completed the Business, Information Systems, and Technology Architecture phases and has produced a complete set of deliverables for each phase. Due to the highly sensitive nature of the information that is managed, special care was taken to ensure that each architecture domain included an examination of the security and privacy issues that are relevant for each domain. A corresponding Security Architecture has been defined.
The Executive Vice President for Clinical Research is the sponsor of the Enterprise Architecture activity. He has stated that the changes to the enterprise architecture for the new system will need to be rolled out on a geographic basis that will minimize disruptions to ongoing clinical trials. The work will need to be done in stages and rolled out in geographical regions.

Refer to the Scenario -
You are serving as the Lead Architect for the project team.
You have been asked to recommend the approach to identify the work packages that will be included in the Transition Architecture(s).
Based on TOGAF 9, which of the following is the best answer?

  • A. Create an Implementation Factor Assessment and Deduction Matrix and a Consolidated Gaps, Solutions and Dependencies Matrix. For each gap, identify a proposed solution and classify it as new development, purchased solution, or based on an existing product. Group similar solutions together to form work packages. Identify dependencies between work packages factoring in the clinical trial schedules. Regroup the packages into a set of Capability Increments scheduled into a series of Transition Architectures and documented in an Architecture Definition Increments Table.
  • B. Determine the set of Solution Building Blocks required by identifying which Solution Building Blocks need to be developed and which need to be procured. Eliminate any duplicate building blocks. Group the remaining Solution Building Blocks together to create the work packages using a CRUD matrix. Rank the work packages in terms of cost and select the most cost-effective options for inclusion in a series of Transition Architectures. Schedule the roll out of the work packages to be sequential across the geographic regions.
  • C. Use a Consolidated Gaps, Solutions and Dependencies Matrix as a planning tool. For each gap classify whether the solution is either a new development, purchased solution, or based on an existing product. Group the similar solutions together to define the work packages. Regroup the work packages into a set of Capability Increments to transition to the Target Architecture taking into account the schedule for clinical trials.
  • D. Group the Solution Building Blocks from a Consolidated Gaps, Solutions and Dependencies Matrix into a set of work packages. Using the matrix as a planning tool, regroup the work packages to account for dependencies. Sequence the work packages into the Capability Increments needed to achieve the Target Architecture. Schedule the rollout one region at a time. Document the progression of the enterprise architecture using an Enterprise Architecture State Evolution table.

Selected Answer: A
Phases Required: Phase E (Opportunities and Solutions): This is where you identify work packages and solutions. The Implementation Factor Assessment and Deduction Matrix is crucial here. Phase F (Migration Planning): This is where the work packages are grouped into Capability Increments and scheduled into a series of Transition Architectures. The Architecture Definition Increments Table is used here.

How They Proceed: Identify Gaps: Use the Consolidated Gaps, Solutions, and Dependencies Matrix to identify gaps between the baseline and target architectures. Propose Solutions: For each gap, propose a solution and classify it as new development, purchased solution, or based on an existing product. Group Solutions: Group similar solutions together to form work packages. Identify Dependencies: Use the Implementation Factor Assessment and Deduction Matrix to identify dependencies between work packages, taking into account the clinical trial schedules. Create Capability Increments: Regroup the packages into a set of Capability Increments. Schedule Transition Architectures: Document these in an Architecture Definition Increments Table and schedule them to minimize disruptions to ongoing clinical trials.

Selected Answer: A
Ans A should better than C:C doesn't talk about transition architecture, and TOGAF recommends to "Using the Consolidated Gaps, Solutions, and Dependencies matrix together with the Implementation Factor Assessment and Deduction matrix, logically group the various activities into work packages."
