VerifiedIntroduction to Applying the ADM

Overview

You are working as an Enterprise Architect within an Enterprise Architecture (EA) team at an electric vehicle manufacturer. The company produces electric cars and battery systems. The company’s goal is to build the best technology and software platform for electric vehicles.

The company has chosen to introduce a major change to its vehicle design over a five-year period. This will be a cross-functional effort between hardware and software teams, delivering significant new features in the vehicles they manufacture. It is intended to be developed in phases. An architecture to support the strategy has already been completed, along with a roadmap for a set of projects.

The EA team has inherited the architecture for the hardware and software automotive platform used by current vehicles, some of which can be carried over to the new vehicle design. The EA team has begun defining which parts of the architecture will be carried forward.

The presentation and access to different variations of data that the company plans to offer through its vehicles create an architecture challenge. The application portfolio and supporting infrastructure must connect with multiple cloud services and data repositories in different countries in order to handle the data at a large scale.

Enough of the Business Architecture has been defined for work to begin on the Information Systems and Technology Architectures. Those architectures must be defined to support the primary business services that the company plans to provide. These services will manage and process the data created by vehicles, paving the way for self-driving vehicles in the future.

The company uses the TOGAF Standard as the basis for its Enterprise Architecture framework. The EA team reports to the Chief Technical Officer (CTO), who is the sponsor of the EA program. The CTO requires that the EA team follow the purpose-based EA Capability Model as described in the TOGAF Series Guide: A Practitioners’ Approach to Developing Enterprise Architecture Following the TOGAF® ADM.

You have been asked to determine and organize the work needed to deliver the requested architectures.

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

Explanation

For an architecture that supports a portfolio, the approved strategy architecture is the superior architecture that guides subsequent work. The work is organized by analyzing projects, dependencies, and synergies; sequencing the projects; defining the necessary high-level architecture; identifying reference architectures and candidate building blocks; and evaluating resources, cost, value, options, risks, and controls so stakeholders can make feasibility and trade-off decisions.
