Consider the following statements of Phase E and Phase F objectives:
Determine whether an incremental approach is required, and if so identify Transition Architectures that will deliver continuous business value
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
Finalize the Architecture Roadmap and the supporting Implementation and Migration Plan
Ensure that the business value and cost of work packages and Transition Architectures is understood by key stakeholders
Which two are objectives of ADM Phase E?
Comprehensive and Detailed Explanation
The TOGAF ADM defines distinct objectives for Phase E (Opportunities and Solutions) and Phase F (Migration Planning).
Phase E: Opportunities and Solutions
Focuses on generating the initial Architecture Roadmap.
Identifies major work packages, Transition Architectures, and projects.
Determines if an incremental approach is needed, and defines Transition Architectures to ensure delivery of continuous business value.
Therefore:
Statement 1 (incremental approach and Transition Architectures) belongs to Phase E.
Statement 2 (initial Architecture Roadmap based on gap analysis) also belongs to Phase E.
Phase F: Migration Planning
Finalizes the Architecture Roadmap.
Develops the detailed Implementation and Migration Plan.
Ensures stakeholders understand the business value and cost of work packages and Transition Architectures.
Therefore:
Statement 3 (finalizing the Roadmap and Plan) belongs to Phase F.
Statement 4 (ensuring value and cost are understood by stakeholders) belongs to Phase F.
Correct Mapping
Phase E Objectives = Statements 1 and 2
Phase F Objectives = Statements 3 and 4
Thus the correct answer is A (1 & 2).
