Please read this scenario prior to answering the question
You are the Chief Enterprise Architect at a large food service company specializing in sales to trade and
wholesale, for example, restaurants and other food retailers.
One of your company's competitors has launched a revolutionary product range and is running a very
aggressive marketing campaign. Your company's resellers are successively announcing that they are not
interested in your company's products and will sell your competitor's.
The CEO has stated there must be significant change to address the situation. He has made it clear that
new markets must be found for the company's products, and that the business needs to pivot, and address the
retail market as well as the existing wholesale market.
A consideration is the company's ability and willingness to change its business model, and if it is a temporary
or permanent change. An additional risk factor is one of culture. The company has been used to a stable
business with a reasonably well known and settled client base - all with its own local understandings and
practices.
The CEO is the sponsor of the EA program within the company. You have been engaged with the sales,
logistics, production, and marketing teams, enabling the architecture activity to start. An Architecture Vision,
Architecture Principles, and Requirements have all been agreed. As you move forward to develop a possible
Target Architecture you have identified that some of the key stakeholders' preferences are incompatible. The
incompatibilities are focused primarily on time-to-market, cost savings, and the need to bring out a fully
featured product range, but there are additional factors.
Refer to the scenario
You have been asked how you will address the incompatibilities between key stakeholder preferences.
Based on the TOGAF standard which of the following is the best answer?
Scenario You are working as an Enterprise Architect within a large manufacturing company. The company has multiple divisions located worldwide. After a recent study, senior management is concerned about the impact of the company’s multiple data centers and duplication of applications on business efficiency. To address this concern, a strategic architecture has been defined; it will help improve the ability to meet customer demand and improve the efficiency of operations. The strategic architecture involves the consolidation of multiple application programs that are currently used in different divisions and putting them all onto a cloud-based solution instead. Each division has completed the Architecture Definition documentation to meet its own specific operational requirements. The enterprise architects have analyzed the corporate changes and implementation constraints. A consolidated gap analysis has been completed. Based on its results, the architects have reviewed the requirements, dependencies, and interoperability requirements needed to integrate the cloud-based solution. The architects have completed the Business Transformation Readiness Assessment. Based on all these factors, they have produced a risk assessment. They have also completed the draft Implementation and Migration Plan, the draft Architecture Roadmap, and the Capability Assessment deliverables. Due to the risks of changing from the current environment, the decision has been taken that a gradual approach is needed to implement the target architecture. It will likely take a few years to complete the whole implementation process. The company has a mature Enterprise Architecture (EA) practice and uses the TOGAF standard for its architecture development method. The EA practice is engaged throughout all the divisions, with implementation governance assigned to a business line. In addition to providing guidance on using architecture frameworks, including business planning, project/portfolio management, and operations management, the EA program is sponsored by the Chief Information Officer (CIO). You have been asked to decide on the next steps for the migration planning. Based on the TOGAF standard, which of the following is the best answer?
