The Open Group OGEA-103 Question Answer

Please read this scenario prior to answering the question

You are employed as an Enterprise Architect within a multinational company. The

company has been very successful and has been buying companies around the

world. This has led to a growing number of manufacturing divisions in various

locations with a complex supply chain.

The top management recently expressed concerns about the company's effectiveness

because of its multiple data centers and duplicate applications. The EA team has

been working on a project to solve this issue. An analysis shows that supply chain

issues have led to not enough products being produced to meet all the customer

demand.

A strategic architecture has been defined to help meet customer demand and manage

the supply chain more effectively. The strategic architecture involves combining

different Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) applications that are currently used

separately in the company's production sites.

Each division has finished the Architecture Definition documentation to address their

own specific manufacturing needs. The Enterprise Architects have agreed an overall

strategy for the migration. They have defined a set of work packages that address the

gaps found. They have defined the intermediate architectural states between the

Baseline and Target architecture to add a new ERP environment into the company.

Because of the risks posed by this change from the current environment, the

architects have recommended that a phased approach should be taken to implement

the target architecture with several stages of change. They have created a draft

roadmap with the implementation process estimated to take over two years.

The company has an established Enterprise Architecture (EA) practice and follows the

TOGAF Architecture Development Method. The company also uses various

management frameworks such as business planning, project/portfolio management,

and operations management. The EA program is sponsored by the Chief Information

Officer (CIO). In your role as an Enterprise Architect within the EA team, you work

closely with the important stakeholders from the various divisions within the company.

Refer to the scenario

You have been assigned to plan the next steps for the migration. Which approach will

you choose?

Based on the TOGAF standard which of the following is the best answer?

You finalize the Architecture Definition documentation with updates to reflectthe implementation approach. You ensure that Implementation and MigrationPlan is consistent with the chosen approach. You identify the resourcesneeded to undertake the development projects. You would then produce anImplementation Governance Model to manage the lessons learned beforefinishing the plan. You ensure that the lessons learned are applied to theImplement

You will focus on project selection. You make sure that the Implementation andMigration plan aligns with the other management frameworks in use in thecompany. Next, you assign a value to each work package, taking into accountthe resources available and how they fit into the overall strategy.

This involvesusing monitoring tools and making sure that performance targets are beingachieved. If the targets are not met, you would then need to make adjustmentsto the pe

Explanation:

At this stage in the scenario:

A strategic architecture has been completed.

All divisions have completed their Architecture Definition Documents.

Work packages have been defined.

Transition Architectures between Baseline and Target are already identified.

A draft roadmap exists for a multi-year phased migration.

You are now asked to plan the next steps for the migration, which aligns exactly with TOGAF ADM Phase F: Implementation and Migration Planning.

In Phase F, TOGAF prescribes the following key activities:

Evaluate and prioritize projects and work packages

Determine business value, cost, risk, dependencies

Confirm Transition Architectures and sequencing

Update and finalize the Implementation & Migration Plan

Option B is the ONLY answer that correctly follows these required TOGAF steps.

✔ Why Option B is correct

Option B states:

“Estimate the business value for each project by applying the Business Value Assessment Technique … to prioritize the migration projects.”✔ This is a TOGAF-recommended technique specifically for Phase F to evaluate and prioritize transformations using value, risk, and ROI.

“Confirm and plan a series of Transition Architecture phases … using a table of Architecture Definition Increments.”✔ Exactly aligned with TOGAF:

Transition Architectures were identified earlier.

In Phase F, they must be confirmed, sequenced, and documented.

“Update the Implementation and Migration Plan.”✔ This is the required output of ADM Phase F.✔ At this point, the plan must be validated and finalized based on value and prioritization.

Thus, Option B directly matches TOGAF’s prescribed migration planning process.

✘ Why the other options are incorrect

A – Incorrect

Suggests finalizing Architecture Definition documentation—this was already completed by each division.

Introduces an “Implementation Governance Model,” which is not a TOGAF artifact at this stage.

Focuses on lessons learned BEFORE execution, which is not appropriate for migration planning.

C – Incorrect

Focuses only on project selection and resource assignment.

Does not use TOGAF techniques for value/risk evaluation.

Does not reference Transition Architectures, which are central in the scenario.

Oversimplifies Implementation & Migration Planning to resource scheduling.

D – Incorrect

Compliance Assessments occur DURING execution, not before migration planning.

At this stage, no implementation has started, so compliance reviews are premature.

Adjusting performance requirements now has no alignment with TOGAF’s ADM sequence.
