Describes the process of identifying major implementation projects and grouping them into work packages that deliver the Target Architecture defined in the previous phases.

Question 8

Phase F: Migration Planning

Answer 8

Describes the development of a detailed Implementation and Migration Plan that addresses how to move from the Baseline to the Target Architecture.

Question 9

Phase G: Implementation Governance

Answer 9

Provides an architectural oversight of the implementation.

Question 10

Phase H: Architecture Change Management

Answer 10

Establishes procedures for managing change to the new architecture.

Question 11

Requirements Management

Answer 11

Examines the process of managing architecture requirements throughout the ADM.

Question 12

The Architecture Content Framework uses three categories to describe the type of architectural work product within the context of use.

Answer 12

• Deliverable
• Artifact
• Building block

Question 13

Deliverable

Answer 13

Is a work product that is contractually specified and in turn formally reviewed, agreed, and signed off by the stakeholders

Question 14

Artifact

Answer 14

Is an architectural work product that describes an aspect of the architecture

Question 15

Building block

Answer 15

Represents a (potentially re-usable) component of business, IT, or architectural capability that can be combined with other building blocks to deliver architectures and solutions

Question 16

The Enterprise Continuum and the Architecture Repository

Answer 16

The Enterprise Continuum provides a view of the Architecture Repository that shows the evolution of these related architectures from generic to specific, from abstract to concrete, and from logical to physical.

Question 17

The Enterprise Continuum and the Architecture Repository

Answer 17

The Enterprise Continuum is a view of the Architecture Repository that provides methods for classifying architecture and solution artifacts as they evolve from generic Foundation Architectures to Organization-Specific Architectures.

Question 18

Concepts of the Enterprise Continuum

Answer 18

• Architecture Continuum
• Solutions Continuum

Question 19

Components within an Architecture Repository

Answer 19

• Architecture Metamodel
• Architecture Capability

• Architecture Requirements Repository
• Solutions Landscape

Question 20

Architecture Metamodel

Answer 20

Describes the organizationally tailored application of an architecture framework, including a metamodel for architecture content.

Question 21

Architecture Capability

Answer 21

Defines the parameters, structures, and processes that support governance of the Architecture Repository

Question 22

Architecture Landscape

Answer 22

Shows an architectural view of the building blocks that are in use within the organization today (e.g., a list of the live applications); the landscape is likely to exist at multiple levels of abstraction to suit different architecture objectives

Question 23

Standards Information Base (SIB)

Answer 23

Captures the standards with which new architectures must comply, which may include industry standards, selected products and services from suppliers, or shared services already deployed within the organization

Question 24

Reference Library

Answer 24

Provides guidelines, templates, patterns, and other forms of reference material that can be leveraged in order to accelerate the creation of new architectures for the enterprise

Question 25

Governance Log

Answer 25

Provides a record of governance activity across the enterprise

Question 26

Architecture Requirements Repository

Answer 26

Provides a view of all authorized architecture requirements which have been agreed with the Architecture Board

Question 27

Solutions Landscape

Answer 27

Presents an architectural representation of the SBBs supporting the Architecture Landscape which have been planned or deployed by the enterprise
