QuestionQ41

VerifiedThe TOGAF Standard, Version 9.2

RIG Networks, a global network supplier, is carrying out a massive replacement of its supply chain to reduce the production cost of its new LTE (Long Term Evolution) gateways. As part of this renovation process, the CIO decided to replace its ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) system using a greenfield approach (where the legacy ERP system will be decommissioned). The CIO engaged a team of TOGAF 9 certified consultants to design the solution, then identified the suppliers and asked you, as Chief Architect, to supervise the definition of the Architecture Design and Development Contract.

You now need to write the Architecture Design and Development Contract. Identify how you would do this following TOGAF 9.

Explanation

A greenfield ERP replacement that decommissions the legacy system does not require a Baseline Architecture definition. The Architecture Design and Development Contract should establish the agreement’s background and nature, architectural scope, strategic principles and requirements, conformance requirements, target measures, phased deliverables, a prioritized joint work plan, time window, and architecture-delivery and business metrics. Scope, goals, architecture models, gap analysis, and impact assessment are characteristic Architecture Definition Document content rather than the contract structure.
