QuestionQ13

The TOGAF Standard, Version 9.2

You are the Lead Architect for this activity.

You have been asked to recommend the best approach to adopt to address the Chief Engineer's concern.

Based on TOGAF 9, which of the following is the best answer?

  • A You create an Architecture Contract to manage and govern the implementation and migration process. If the contract is issued to an external party, you ensure that it is a fully enforceable legal contract. For internal development projects, you decide it is adequate to utilize a memorandum of understanding between the Manufacturing Architecture Board and the implementation organization. You recommend that if a deviation from the contract is detected, the Manufacturing Architecture Board should modify the Architecture Contract to allow the implementation organization the ability to customize the process to meet their local needs. As a result, you then issue a new Request for Architecture Work to implement the modified Architecture Definition.
  • B You create an Architecture Contract to manage and govern the implementation and migration process. If the contract is issued to an external party, you ensure that it is a fully enforceable legal contract. For internal envelopment projects, you decide it is adequate to utilize a memorandum of understanding between the Manufacturing Architecture Board and the implementation organization. You recommend that if a deviation from the Architecture Contract is detected, the Manufacturing Architecture Board grant a dispensation to allow the implementation organization the ability to customize the process to meet their local needs.
  • C You create an Architecture Contract to manage and govern the implementation and migration process. If the contract is issued to an external party, you ensure that it is a fully enforceable legal contract. For internal development projects, you decide it is adequate to utilize a memorandum of understanding between the Manufacturing Architecture Board and the implementation organization. You ensure that the Manufacturing Architecture Board reviews all deviations from the Architecture Contract, and considers whether or not to grant a dispensation to allow the implementation organization to customize the process to meet their local needs.
  • D You create an Architecture Contract to govern the implementation and migration process at each site. If the contract is issued to an external party, you ensure that it is a fully enforceable legal contract. You ensure that the contract addresses the project objectives, effectiveness metrics, acceptance criteria, and risk management. You then schedule compliance reviews at key points in the implementation process to ensure that the work is proceeding in accordance with the Architecture Definition. Based on the results, you ensure that the Manufacturing Architecture Board reviews all deviations from the Architecture Contract, and considers whether or not to grant a dispensation to allow the implementation organization to customize the process to meet their local needs.
Explanation

TOGAF 9 architecture governance uses an Architecture Contract to govern implementation and migration, with defined objectives, effectiveness measures, acceptance criteria, and risk management. Compliance reviews at key implementation points provide assurance that delivery conforms to the Architecture Definition. The Architecture Board must evaluate deviations and may grant a dispensation when justified, rather than automatically permitting local variation.
