OG0-092 Exam - Question 48


MightyGears produces components for the Car industry. Driven by the global financial downturn they are looking to reduce IT costs. They believe there is a cost saving opportunity within IT but this is not quantified in terms of potential savings nor is there an agreed target architecture. Final decisions on the solutions are not yet fully agreed. They have completed the first pass architecture and now are looking at the best opportunities and solutions to meet their financial goals.

You are the Chief Architect from a consulting organization brought into review the work to date by MightyGears and to make recommendations to the CIO and the board on the opportunities and solutions present.

Which of the following answers best describes how TOGAF recommends examining the opportunities and solutions before presenting to the board?

Choose one of the following answers

Show Answer
Correct Answer: D

The best practice according to TOGAF for examining opportunities and solutions before presenting to the board involves a comprehensive assessment. This includes understanding the corporate culture and attitude towards change, as well as constraints such as cost and time horizons. The architecture work must be reviewed for completeness, addressing any gaps, and ensuring all functional and interoperability requirements are met. Dependencies and risks should be validated, and an implementation and migration strategy formulated that identifies major work packages and transition architecture required. Finally, project charters should be created, and any changes from board discussions should be integrated into the architecture. This holistic approach ensures all aspects are covered, leading to an informed and strategic decision by the board.

I also believe that it should be D, but every site that has this question shows A. Does someone know officially what should be the answer?

because all the sites have reproduced the work done by 1 person. they only stole the work done once. nobody cares if the answers are right, they don't validate them

I say the answer is D also. D is the correct answer. This is the most complete description of the TOGAF approach to the Opportunities and Solutions phase this is specifically different from the other answers because it includes an assessment of the organisation. TOGAF refers to this as ‘Determine/confirm key corporate change attributes’ C is the second best answer, this misses out the assessment of key corporate change attributes. A is the third best answer because this misses out assessment of key corporate change attributes, and does not include the creation of portfolio and project charters and a retrospective update of the architectures. B is the red herring answer this is a description of the Migration phase in ADM.

The question is examining the opportunities and solutions "before presenting to the board". Probably the last statement is option D was not needed. So I think A is the right answer.

D should be the right answer, because Project Charter is part of Phase F, should not be considered before approval from phase E

pankaj3284Option: A

Answer is A , i will tell you why , question talks about oppurtunity and solution and not migration ..so it should not involve phase F steps

Project charter is part of Phase F

I am going with A as you have to assess the existing options in hand than reviewing the readiness for change. As that was done by the team already.
