QuestionQ56
The TOGAF Standard, Version 9.2ARTI Dimensioning is a multinational organization that operates production facilities in 29 countries and sells its products in more than 120 countries.
A consultancy firm has recommended a realignment to improve the sharing of product information across business units. Implementing this strategic realignment will require developing integrated customer information systems and product information systems.
ARTI has a mature enterprise architecture practice and uses TOGAF 9 as the basis for the ARTI Architecture Framework (method and deliverables). The CIO is sponsoring an architecture development program that is about to begin. The CIO is concerned that this activity could disrupt the business and, before continuing with the architecture development, has requested an evaluation of the impacts on the company’s business.
You are the Lead Architect and have been asked to recommend an approach that addresses these concerns. Based on TOGAF 9, recommend the best answer.
- A A Risk Aversion Assessment should be conducted during the Implementation Governance phase to determine the degree of risk aversion of the proposed business transformation. After sharing the residual level of risk with the company chairman and the residual risk is not accepted, a set of parallel systems will be implemented to mitigate the risks.
- B Your recommendation is to use risk management techniques to assess the risks associated with the proposed business transformation and ensure the existence of business continuity plans. During the Implementation Governance phase you conduct a residual risk assessment to manage risks that cannot be mitigated.
- C During the Architecture Vision phase a risk assessment is conducted to mitigate initial risks and address those in the Architecture Contract signed in the Implementation Governance phase.
- D Your proposal is to utilize a risk management framework during the Implementation Governance phase to verify the risks associated with the proposed transformation of the business. You then share with the concerned stakeholders the residual level on risk before the Architecture Contracts are released.
