Actual exam question from The Open Group's OG0-092

Question #: 31
Topic #: 1

Scenario: AutoComp Corporation -
AutoComp Corporation produces components for the Car industry. Driven by the global financial downturn they are looking to reduce IT costs. They believe there is a cost saving opportunity within IT but this is not quantified in terms of potential savings nor is there agreed target architecture.
Final decisions on the solutions are not yet fully agreed. They have completed their Vision Phase and first pass of the three architecture definition phases and now they want to finalize and plan their solutions. You are the Chief Architect from a consulting organization brought into review the work to date by AutoComp
Corporation and to make recommendations to the CIO and the board on this.
Which of the following answers best describes how TOGAF recommends in this context?

A. I would determine the business value of each solution, prioritize accordingly each set of solutions, conduct detailed Risk Assessment and Mitigation, do Compliance reviews and then implement the solutions. I would present my recommendations to the board for agreement. Once this is done, I would update the architectures reflecting any changes resulting from the board discussion.
B. I would after confirming Enterprise Change Attributes and constraints, do a Consolidated Gap Analysis then dependencies, then group and allocate the transitions. I would also assess Enterprise readiness and risks. Then I would also assess the business value of the solutions, do risk analysis with mitigation and then schedule the work products.
C. I would do a Consolidated Gap Analysis by considering then dependencies, then group and allocate the transitions. I would then look to produce artifacts that describe the recommended projects, the risk, issues and dependencies. This would also include transition architects to move us from current architecture to the recommended target architectures. I would present my recommendations to the board for agreement. Once this is done, I would update the architectures reflecting any changes resulting from the board discussion.
D. I would look at the corporate culture and attitude to change, understand the constraints such as cost and the required time horizons. I would then look at the architecture work to ensure it is complete and seek to address any gaps. I would review the functional requirements and ensure there are complete interoperability requirements. I would then validate any dependencies and risks. Then formulate an implementation and migration strategy identifies major work packages and the transition architecture required. Finally, once agreement is reached with the board I will create project charters and re-factor any changes needed from the board discussion into the architecture.

Selected Answer: C

Correct Answer: C Explanation: Option C is most aligned with TOGAF’s guidance for the phase following the Vision and initial architecture definition work—that is, in Phase E. At this stage, the primary goal is to consolidate the gaps identified between the current and target architectures, assess dependencies, and group the necessary changes into logical transition increments. This process produces artifacts that detail the recommended projects, along with their risks, issues, and dependencies. These artifacts form the basis for the Transition Architectures, which will guide the migration from the current state to the target state. Once these recommendations are prepared, they are presented to the board for agreement and then the architecture artifacts are updated based on the board’s feedback. This method of consolidating and planning the solutions corresponds directly with the TOGAF ADM approach described in Phase E.

My only concern with D is why the Lead Architect creates the project charter. Is it role of the PM?

In the context of enterprise architecture and TOGAF, project charters are typically created by the organization's management or project sponsors. The project charter is a formal document that authorizes the existence of a project and provides the project manager with the authority to apply resources to project activities.

"They have completed their Vision Phase and first pass of the three architecture definition phases and now they want to finalize and plan their solutions." So next Phase is Phase E, where they do GAP analysis and then Migration & transition phases. it is more aligned to Answer "C".

I think its D, because the question asked was to "finalize and plan their solutions. " so we are in Phase F not E.that is why the cost factor.

"finalize and plan their solutions" means, that the solutions are not yet decided on. this means, that the SBBs are not yet chosen. so we cannot be in phase F because the SBBs are selected in phase E.

TOGAF recommends "Consolidated Gaps, Solutions, & Dependencies Matrix" for migration planning instead of "Consolidated Gap Analysis". Besides, Phase E contains other key steps instead of just focusing on the transition architecture.
