Which one of the following best describes the purpose of ADM Phase E?
ADM Phase E, known as the Opportunities & Solutions phase, is focused on formulating the initial implementation plans. It involves evaluating and selecting among implementation options, identifying strategic parameters, and generating an overall implementation and migration strategy, including a detailed Implementation Plan. Therefore, the purpose of Phase E is to define the initial implementation plans.
Answer A is correct. "Formulate Implementation and Migration Strategy"
12. Phase E: Opportunities & Solutions 12.5 Approach Phase E is the initial step on the creation of the Implementation and Migration Plan which is completed in Phase F. It provides the basis of a well considered Implementation and Migration Plan that is integrated into the enterprise's portfolio in Phase F.
Objectives The objectives of Phase E are to: Evaluate and select among the implementation options identified in the development of the various Target Architectures (for example, build versus buy versus re-use options, and sub-options within those major options) Identify the strategic parameters for change, and the top-level work packages or projects to be undertaken in moving from the current environment to the target Assess the dependencies, costs, and benefits of the various projects Generate an overall implementation and migration strategy and a detailed Implementation Plan https://pubs.opengroup.org/architecture/togaf8-doc/arch/chap11.html#:~:text=The%20objectives%20of%20Phase%20E,options%20within%20those%20major%20options)
Correct Answer Phase E concentrates on how to deliver the architecture. It takes into account the complete set of gaps between the Target and Baseline Architectures in all architecture domains, and logically groups changes into work packages within the enterprise's portfolios. This is an effort to build a best-fit roadmap that is based upon the stakeholder requirements, the enterprise's business transformation readiness, identified opportunities and solutions, and identified implementation constraints. The key is to focus on the final target while realizing incremental business value. Phase E is the initial step on the creation of the Implementation and Migration Plan which is completed in Phase F. It provides the basis of a well considered Implementation and Migration Plan that is integrated into the enterprise's portfolio in Phase F. The following four concepts are key to transitioning from developing to delivering a Target Architecture: Architecture Roadmap Work Packages Transition Architectures Implementation and Migration Plan
