QuestionQ59

VerifiedThe TOGAF Standard, Version 9.2

FreshFruit Int. is an American online grocer. The Executive Board has decided to adopt a new strategy to expand the business into other markets.

The CIO is sponsoring an enterprise activity that supports the expanded operations.

A new solution is being rolled out to replace the legacy online sales platform. A compliance review was conducted to assess the solution implementation.

The review result highlighted a complaint from the development team that the new system is difficult to integrate with the existing warehouse automation systems. The Chief Architect is concerned that the complaint is not tied to an actual problem with the solution, but instead reflects the development teams’ personal preferences. A further interview with the project team is scheduled.

You are the Lead Architect, and an architect from your team leads the review team. Based on TOGAF 9, how should you enable the review team to conduct the reviews successfully?

Explanation

TOGAF architecture compliance reviews evaluate whether an implementation conforms to the architecture through an objective and fair assessment. Checklists provide a consistent review framework, while the reviewers must examine the actual issues underlying stakeholder complaints so that preferences are not incorrectly treated as implementation noncompliance.
