According to the TOGAF standard, the objectives of each ADM phase are as follows1:
•Phase E: Opportunities and Solutions
oDetermine whether an incremental approach is required, and if so identify Transition Architectures that will deliver continuous business value
oIdentify and group major work packages within the Architecture Roadmap
oIdentify and group major implementation projects to realize the Architecture Roadmap
oIdentify dependencies between increments and projects
oEstimate cost, benefit, and risk at a high level for each increment and project
oConduct initial prioritization and sequencing of the Architecture Roadmap and projects
•Phase F: Migration Planning
oGenerate the initial complete version of the Architecture Roadmap, based upon the gap analysis and candidate Architecture Roadmap components from Phases B, C, and D
oConfirm the Transition Architectures with relevant stakeholders
oCreate the Implementation and Migration Plan, including Transition Architectures, work packages, projects, and other activities
oConfirm and agree the Architecture Roadmap and Implementation and Migration Plan with relevant stakeholders
•Phase G: Implementation Governance
oFinalize the Architecture Roadmap and the supporting Implementation and Migration Plan
oEnsure conformance with the Target Architecture by implementation projects
oPerform appropriate Architecture Governance functions for the solution and any implementation-driven architecture Change Requests
oEnsure that the architecture lifecycle is maintained
oEnsure that the Architecture Governance Framework is executed
•Phase H: Architecture Change Management
oEnsure that the business value and cost of work packages and Transition Architectures is understood by key stakeholders
oManage risks and issues related to the Architecture Roadmap and Implementation and Migration Plan
oMonitor the implementation projects and Transition Architectures
oManage changes to the architecture baseline
oManage 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
