NEW QUESTION # 21
Please read this scenario prior to answering the question
You are serving as the Lead Architect for an Enterprise Architecture team within a leading multinational biotechnology company. The company works in three major industries, including healthcare, crop production, and agriculture. Your team works within the healthcare division.
The healthcare division is developing a new vaccine, and has to demonstrate its effectiveness and safety in a set of clinical trials that satisfy the regulatory requirements of the relevant health authorities. The clinical trials are undertaken by its research laboratories at multiple facilities worldwide. In addition to internal research and development activities, the healthcare division is also involved in publicly funded collaborative research projects with industrial and academic partners.
The Enterprise Architecture team has been engaged in an architecture project to develop a secure system that will allow the healthcare researchers to share information more easily about their clinical trials, and work more collaboratively across the organization and also with its partners. This system will also connect with external partners.
The Enterprise Architecture team uses the TOGAF ADM with extensions required to support healthcare manufacturing practices and laboratory practices. Due to the highly sensitive nature of the information that is managed, special care has been taken to ensure that each architecture domain considers the security and privacy issues that are relevant.
The Vice President for Worldwide Clinical Research is the sponsor of the Enterprise Architecture activity.
She has stated that disruptions must be minimized for the clinical trials, and that the rollout must be undertaken incrementally.
Refer to the scenario
You have been asked to recommend the approach to identify the work packages for an incremental rollout meeting the requirements.
Based on the TOGAF standard which of the following is the best answer?

• A. You recommend that an Implementation Factor Catalog is drawn up to indicate actions and constraints.
  A Consolidated Gaps. Solutions and Dependencies Matrix should also be created. For each gap.
  identify a proposed solution and classify it as new development, purchased solution, or based on an existing product. Group similar activities together to form work packages. Identify dependencies between work packages factoring in the clinical trial schedules. Regroup the work packages into a set of Capability Increments scheduled into a series of Transition Architectures.
• B. You recommend that the set of required Solution Building Blocks be determined by identifying those which need to be developed and which need to be procured. Eliminate any duplicates. Group the remaining Solution Building Blocks together to create the work packages using a CRUD (create, read, update, delete) matrix. Rank the work packages and select the most cost-effective options for inclusion in a series of Transition Architectures. Schedule the roll out of the work packages to be sequential across the geographic regions.
• C. You recommend that the Solution Building Blocks from a Consolidated Gaps, Solutions and Dependencies Matrix be grouped into a set of work packages. Using the matrix as a planning tool, regroup the work packages to account for dependencies. Sequence the work packages into the Capability Increments needed to achieve the Target Architecture, so that the implementation team can schedule the rollout one region at a time to minimize disruption. Document the work packages for the Enterprise Architecture using a Transition Architecture State Evolution Table.
• D. You recommend that a Consolidated Gaps. Solutions and Dependencies Matrix is used as a planning tool for creating work packages. For each gap classify whether the solution is either a new development, purchased solution, or based on an existing product. Group the similar solutions together to define the work packages. Regroup the work packages into a set of Capability Increments to transition to the Target Architecture considering the schedule for clinical trials, and document in an Architecture Definition Increments Table.

Answer: D

Explanation:
A Consolidated Gaps, Solutions and Dependencies Matrix is a technique that can be used to create work packages for an incremental rollout of the architecture. A work package is a set of actions or tasks that are required to implement a specific part of the architecture. A work package can be associated with one or more Architecture Building Blocks (ABBs) or Solution Building Blocks (SBBs), which are reusable components of business, IT, or architectural capability. A work package can also be associated with one or more Capability Increments, which are defined, discrete portions of the overall capability that deliver business value. A Capability Increment can be realized by one or more Transition Architectures, which are intermediate states of the architecture that enable the transition from the Baseline Architecture to the Target Architecture123 The steps for creating work packages using this technique are:
* For each gap between the Baseline Architecture and the Target Architecture, identify a proposed solution and classify it as new development, purchased solution, or based on an existing product. A gap is a difference or deficiency in the current state of the architecture that needs to be addressed by the future state of the architecture. A solution is a way of resolving a gap by implementing one or more ABBs or SBBs.
* Group similar solutions together to define the work packages. Similar solutions are those that have common characteristics, such as functionality, technology, vendor, or location.
* Identify dependencies between work packages, such as logical, temporal, or resource dependencies.
Dependencies indicate the order or priority of the work packages, and the constraints or risks that may affect their implementation.
* Regroup the work packages into a set of Capability Increments to transition to the Target Architecture.
Capability Increments should be defined based on the business value, effort, and risk associated with each work package, and the schedule and objectives of the clinical trials. Capability Increments should also be aligned with the Architecture Vision and the Architecture Principles.
* Document the work packages and the Capability Increments in an Architecture Definition Increments Table, which shows the mapping between the work packages, the ABBs, the SBBs, and the Capability Increments. The table also shows the dependencies, assumptions, and issues related to each work package and Capability Increment.
Therefore, the best answer is B, because it describes the approach to identify the work packages for an incremental rollout meeting the requirements, using the Consolidated Gaps, Solutions and Dependencies Matrix as a planning tool.

• A. An EA Capability
• B. An EA framework
• C. An Enterprise Architecture
• D. An EA repository

Answer: A

Explanation:
An EA Capability is the ability of an organization to perform enterprise architecture effectively and efficiently. It involves establishing and maintaining the appropriate organization structures, roles, responsibilities, skills, processes, tools, and governance mechanisms to support the development and use of enterprise architecture. An EA Capability enables the organization to align its business and IT strategies, deliver value from its investments, manage change and complexity, and improve its performance and agility12 References: 1: The TOGAF Standard, Version 9.2, Part VI: Architecture Capability Framework, Chapter 44: Introduction 2: The TOGAF Standard, Version 9.2, Part VI: Architecture Capability Framework, Chapter 45: Establishing and Maintaining an Enterprise Architecture Capability

NEW QUESTION # 23
Please read this scenario prior to answering the question
You have been appointed as Chief Enterprise Architect (CEA). reporting to the Chief Technical Officer (CTO), of a company established as a separate operating entity by a major automotive manufacturer. The mission of the company is to build a new industry leading unified technology and software platform for electric vehicles.
The company uses the TOGAF Standard as the basis for its Enterprise Architecture (EA) framework, and architecture development follows the purpose-based EA Capability model as described in the TOGAF Series Guide: A Practitioners'Approach to Developing Enterprise Architecture Following the TOGAF ADM.
An end-to-end Target Architecture has been completed with a roadmap for change over a five-year period. The new platform will be a cross-functional effort between hardware and software teams, with significant changes over the old platform. It is expected to be developed in several stages over three years. The EA team has inherited the architecture for the previous generation hardware and software automotive platform, some of which can be carried over to the new unified platform. The EA team has started to define the new platform, including defining which parts of the architecture to carry forward.
Enough of the Business Architecture has been defined, so that work can commence on the Information Systems and Technology Architectures. Those need to be defined to support the core business services that the company plans to provide. The core services will feature an innovative approach with swarm data generated by vehicles, paving the way for autonomous driving in the future.
The presentation and access to different variations of data that the company plans to offer through its platform pose an architecture challenge. The application portfolio and supporting infrastructure need to interact with various existing cloud services and data- Refer to the scenario You have been asked what approach should be taken to determine and organize the work to deliver the requested architectures?
Based on the TOGAF standard which of the following is the best answer?

• A. You will revisit ADM Phase A. identifying the stakeholders and creating a new Architecture Vision.
  You will update the Stakeholder map produced for the strategic architecture so it reflects the stakeholders who are now the most relevant to the projects that are to be developed. You would then ask the CTO to make some decisions about the Architecture Roadmap, and update the Implementation and Migration Plan to reflect the decisions.
• B. You would look outside the enterprise to research data models and application portfolios of leading big data businesses. You would develop just enough applications, data, and technology architecture to identify options. For each project this should include identification of candidate architecture and solution building blocks. You will identify solution providers, perform a readiness assessment, and assess the viability and fitness of the solution options. You will then document the draft Implementation and Migration plan.
• C. You would refer to the end-to-end Target Architecture for guidance and direction. The first objective should be to identify projects, dependencies and synergies, then prioritize before initiating the projects.
  You will develop high-level architecture descriptions. For each project you would estimate effort size, identify reference architectures, and candidate building blocks. You will identify the resource needs considering cost and value. You will document options, risks, and controls to enable viability analysis and trade-off with the stakeholders.
• D. You will research leading data businesses, developing high-level Target Data, Application and Technology Architectures. You would review the Architecture Vision in order to estimate the level of detail, time, and breadth of the ADM cycle phases that will be needed to develop the architecture. You will identify and cost major work packages, and then develop an Architecture Roadmap. You would then seek approval by the Architecture Board and initiate the project.

Answer: C

Explanation:
The Target Architecture is a description of the future state of the architecture that addresses the business goals and drivers, and satisfies the stakeholder requirements and concerns. The Target Architecture is developed through the Architecture Development Method (ADM), which is the core process of the TOGAF standard that guides the development and management of the enterprise architecture. The Target Architecture is typically divided into four domains: Business, Data, Application, and Technology. The Target Architecture also includes a roadmap for change, which defines the Transition Architectures, the Capability Increments, and the work packages that enable the transition from the Baseline Architecture to the Target Architecture12 The best answer is B, because it describes the approach that should be taken to determine and organize the work to deliver the requested architectures, which are the Information Systems and Technology Architectures.
The answer covers the following steps:
Refer to the end-to-end Target Architecture for guidance and direction. The end-to-end Target Architecture provides the overall vision, scope, and objectives of the architecture work, and the alignment with the business strategy and goals. The end-to-end Target Architecture also provides the high-level definitions and principles for the four architecture domains, and the roadmap for change that outlines the major milestones and deliverables.
Identify projects, dependencies and synergies, then prioritize before initiating the projects. Projects are the units of work that implement the architecture work packages, which are the sets of actions or tasks that are required to implement a specific part of the architecture. Dependencies are the relationships and constraints that affect the order or priority of the projects, such as logical, temporal, or resource dependencies. Synergies are the benefits or advantages that result from the combination or coordination of the projects, such as cost savings, efficiency gains, or innovation opportunities. Prioritization is the process of ranking the projects according to their importance, urgency, or value, and assigning resources and schedules accordingly.
Develop high-level architecture descriptions. High-level architecture descriptions are the outputs of the architecture development phases (B, C, and D) of the ADM cycle, which describe the Business, Data, Application, and Technology Architectures in terms of the Architecture Building Blocks (ABBs) and the Solution Building Blocks (SBBs), which are reusable components of business, IT, or architectural capability. High-level architecture descriptions also include the Architecture Views, which are representations of the system of interest from the perspective of one or more stakeholders and their concerns.
For each project, estimate effort size, identify reference architectures, and candidate building blocks.
Effort size is the measure of the amount of work, time, or resources required to complete a project.
Effort size can be estimated using various techniques, such as analogy, expert judgment, parametric, or bottom-up. Reference architectures are standardized architectures that provide a common framework and vocabulary for a specific domain or industry. Reference architectures can be used as a source of best practices, patterns, and models for the architecture development. Candidate building blocks are the potential ABBs or SBBs that can be used to implement the architecture. Candidate building blocks can be identified from the Architecture Repository, which is a collection of architecture assets, such as models, patterns, principles, standards, and guidelines.
Identify the resource needs considering cost and value. Resource needs are the specifications and criteria that define the acceptable level and quality of the resources required to complete the project, such as human, financial, physical, or technological resources. Resource needs can be identified by analyzing the scope, complexity, and dependencies of the project, and the availability, capability, and suitability of the resources. Cost and value are the factors that influence the allocation and utilization of the resources, such as the budget, the return on investment, the benefits, or the risks.
Document options, risks, and controls to enable viability analysis and trade-off with the stakeholders.
Options are the alternative ways of achieving the project objectives, such as different solutions, technologies, vendors, or approaches. Risks are the effects of uncertainty on the project objectives, such as threats or opportunities. Controls are the measures or actions that are taken to prevent, reduce, or mitigate the risks, such as policies, procedures, or standards. Viability analysis is the process of evaluating and comparing the options, risks, and controls, and determining the feasibility, suitability, and desirability of each option. Trade-off is the decision outcome that balances and reconciles the multiple, often conflicting, requirements and concerns of the stakeholders, and ensures alignment with the Architecture Vision and the Architecture Principles.

NEW QUESTION # 27
Which of the following statements about architecture partitioning are correct*?
1 Partitions are used to simplify the management of the Enterprise Architecture
2 Partitions are equivalent to architecture levels
3 Partitions enable different teams to work on different element of the architecture at the same time.
4 Partitions reflect the organization's structure

• A. 2 & 4
• B. 1 & 4
• C. 1 & 3
• D. 2 & 3

Answer: C

Explanation:
Explanation
Statements 1 and 3 about architecture partitioning are correct. Architecture partitioning is the technique of dividing an architecture into smaller and more manageable parts that can be developed, maintained, and governed independently. Partitions are used to simplify the management of the Enterprise Architecture and to enable different teams to work on different elements of the architecture at the same time. Partitions are not equivalent to architecture levels, which are different degrees of abstraction or detail in an architecture.
Partitions do not necessarily reflect the organization's structure, which may change over time or differ from the architecture's scope and boundaries. Reference: The TOGAF Standard | The Open Group Website, Section 2.5 Architecture Partitioning.

NEW QUESTION # 28
Please read this scenario prior to answering the question
You are the Chief Enterprise Architect at a large food service company specializing in sales to trade and wholesale, for example, restaurants and other food retailers.
One of your company's competitors has launched a revolutionary product range and is running a very aggressive marketing campaign. Your company's resellers are successively announcing that they are not interested in your company's products and will sell your competitor's.
The CEO has stated there must be significant change to address the situation. He has made it clear that new markets must be found for the company's products, and that the business needs to pivot, and address the retail market as well as the existing wholesale market.
A consideration is the company's ability and willingness to change its business model, and if it is a temporary or permanent change. An additional risk factor is one of culture. The company has been used to a stable business with a reasonably well known and settled client base - all with its own local understandings and practices.
The CEO is the sponsor of the EA program within the company. You have been engaged with the sales, logistics, production, and marketing teams, enabling the architecture activity to start. An Architecture Vision, Architecture Principles, and Requirements have all been agreed. As you move forward to develop a possible Target Architecture you have identified that some of the key stakeholders' preferences are incompatible. The incompatibilities are focused primarily on time-to-market, cost savings, and the need to bring out a fully featured product range, but there are additional factors.
Refer to the scenario
You have been asked how you will address the incompatibilities between key stakeholder preferences.
Based on the TOGAF standard which of the following is the best answer?

• A. You recommend that since the CEO has stated that the company must pivot, it is better tocompromise on a full product range rather than time-to-market. You would develop just enough of theTarget Architecture to demonstrate fitness of the proposed approach. You would limit the descriptionto just where there is a gap between the current baseline. You would seek approval by thestakeholders to move forward with developing the Target Architecture in detail.
• B. You would seek to understand value preferences and priorities of the stakeholders. You woulddevelop alternative Target Architectures, highlighting the gaps between current state and thealternatives. You would consider combining features from one or more alternatives in collaborationwith the stakeholders.
  A formal stakeholder review should then be held to decidewhich alternative isfit for purpose and should be moved forward with. You will then secure the funding required.
• C. You would review the Stakeholder Map and ensure that you have addressed and represented theconcerns of all department heads. You will involve them in resolving the incompatibilities.TheCommunications Plan should include a report that summarizes the key features of the architecturewith and how incompatibilities were resolved to reflects the stakeholders' requirements.You willcheck with each key stakeholder they are satisfied with how the incompatibilities have been resolved.
• D. You would use the Architecture Vision, Principles, and Requirements to define a set of criteria foralternatives and create a set of architecture views to illustrate the impact of the alternative TargetArchitectures. You would identify the impact on planned projects. You would understand the strengthsand weaknesses of the alternatives. You would conduct a formal stakeholder review to decide whichalternative to move forward with. You will determine the funding required.

Answer: D

Explanation:
According to the TOGAF standard, the Target Architecture is the description of a future state of the architecture being developed for an organization. It should be aligned with the Architecture Vision, Principles, and Requirements that have been agreed with the stakeholders. To address the incompatibilities between key stakeholder preferences, the TOGAF standard recommends creating and evaluating multiple alternative Target Architectures that meet different sets of criteria. These criteria should reflect the value preferences and priorities of the stakeholders, as well as the business drivers and objectives. The alternative Target Architectures should be illustrated using a set of architecture views that show the impact of each alternative on the business, data, application, and technology domains. The impact on planned projects should also be identified and analyzed. The strengths and weaknesses of each alternative should be understood and documented. A formal stakeholder review should then be conducted to decide which alternative is the most fit for purpose and should be moved forward with. The funding required for implementing the chosen alternative should also be determined and secured. References:

NEW QUESTION # 33
What is defined as the effect of uncertainty on objectives?

• A. Threat
• B. Continuity
• C. Risk
• D. Vulnerability

Answer: C

Explanation:
Explanation
Risk is defined as the effect of uncertainty on objectives, according to the ISO 31000 standard, which provides principles and guidelines for risk management1 Risk can be positive or negative, depending on whether the uncertainty affects the achievement or the failure of the objectives. Risk can also be expressed in terms of likelihood and impact, which indicate the probability and the consequence of the risk occurrence. Risk management is the coordinated activities to direct and control an organization with regard to risk. Risk management is an integral part of the TOGAF standard, as it helps to identify, assess, and treat the risks that may affect the architecture development and implementation2 References: 1: ISO 31000:2018, Risk management - Guidelines, Clause 3.1 2: The TOGAF Standard, Version 9.2, Part III: ADM Guidelines and Techniques, Chapter 32: Risk Management

• A. Called ''draft''
• B. Invalid
• C. Known as ''Version 0.1''
• D. In between phases

Answer: A

Explanation:
In the ADM documents which are under development and have not undergone any formal review and approval process are called "draft". This indicates that they are subject to change and refinement as the architecture development progresses. Reference: The TOGAF Standard | The Open Group Website, Section
4.2.5 Architecture Deliverables.

NEW QUESTION # 36
Consider the following statement.
According to the TOGAF standard, a governed approach of a particular deliverable will ensure adherence to the principles, standards, and requirements of the existing or developing architectures.
Which deliverable does this refer to?

• A. The Statement of Architecture Work
• B. An Architecture Contract
• C. The Architecture Definition Document
• D. The Architecture Vision

Answer: B

Explanation:
According to the TOGAF Standard, 10th Edition, an architecture contract is "a formal agreement between a service provider and a service consumer that defines the mutual commitments and expectations for the delivery of an architecture" 1. An architecture contract is a governed approach of a particular deliverable that will ensure adherence to the principles, standards, and requirements of the existing or developing architectures, as it specifies the roles, responsibilities, deliverables, quality criteria, and acceptance criteria for the architecture work 1. The other options are not correct, as they are not governed approaches of a particular deliverable, but rather different types of deliverables within the architecture development process. An architecture vision is "a high-level, aspirational view of the target architecture" 1. A statement of architecture work is "a document that defines the scope and approach that will be used to complete an architecture project"
1. An architecture definition document is "a document that describes the baseline and target architectures for one or more domains" 1. References: 1: TOGAF Standard, 10th Edition, Part I: Introduction, Chapter 3:
Definitions.

NEW QUESTION # 37
Which section of the TOGAF template for Architecture Principles should highlight the business benefits of adhering to the principle?

• A. Name
• B. Implications
• C. Statement
• D. Rationale

Answer: D

Explanation:
According to the TOGAF Standard, 10th Edition, the rationale section of the architecture principles template should highlight the business benefits of adhering to the principle, as well as the business risks of not adhering to it 1. The rationale section should explain the reasoning behind the principle, and provide evidence or arguments to support it. The rationale section should also link the principle to the business drivers, goals, and objectives of the enterprise, and show how the principle contributes to the value and success of the enterprise. The other options are not correct, as they have different purposes in the architecture principles template. The name section should provide a short and memorable name for the principle, such as "Information is an Asset" or "Business Continuity" 1. The statement section should provide a concise and formal statement of the principle, such as "The enterprise's information is recognized as a core asset, and is managed accordingly" or "The enterprise's ability to provide critical services and products must be maintained in the event of a disaster" 1. The implications section should identify the impact of the principle on the enterprise, such as the changes, costs, benefits, and risks that may result from applying or violating the principle 1. Reference: 1: TOGAF Standard, 10th Edition, Part III: ADM Guidelines and Techniques, Chapter 23: Architecture Principles, Section 23.3 Developing Architecture Principles.

NEW QUESTION # 38
Please read this scenario prior to answering the question
You are employed as an Enterprise Architect consultant within a manufacturing company. The company hasmultiple business units located worldwide, including retail, manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, and technology.
The company has a mature Enterprise Architecture (EA) practice and uses the TOGAF standard for itsarchitecture development method. The EA practice is engaged throughout all the business units, withgovernance provided by multiple Architecture Boards with responsibility for a business line. In addition to theEA program, the company uses a number of management frameworks, including business planning, project/portfolio management, and operations management. The EA program is sponsored by the ChiefInformation Officer (CIO).
After a recent study, senior management are concerned about the impact of the company's multiple datacenters and duplication of applications on the business efficiency. To address the concern, a strategicarchitecture has been defined; it will help improve the ability to meet customer demand and improve theefficiency of operations. The strategic architecture involves the consolidation of multiple applicationsprograms that are currently used in different business units and putting them all onto a cloud- based solutioninstead.
Each business unit has completed the Architecture Definition documentation to meet its own specificoperational requirements. The Enterprise Architects have analyzed the corporate changes andimplementation constraints. A consolidated gap analysis has been completed. Based on its results, thearchitects have reviewed the requirements, dependencies and interoperability requirements needed tointegrate the cloud-based solution. The architects have completed the Business Transformation ReadinessAssessment. Based on all these factors they have produced a risk assessment. They have also completedthe draft Implementation and Migration Plan, the draft Architecture Roadmap, and the CapabilityAssessment deliverables.
Due to the risks of changing from the current environment, the decision has been taken that a gradualapproach is needed to implement the target architectures. It will likely take a few years to complete thewhole implementation process.
Refer to the scenario
You have been asked to decide on the next steps for the migration planning.
Based on the TOGAF standard which of the following is the best answer?

• A. You update the Architecture Definition Document, which includes setting project objectives and documenting the final requirements. This will ensure that the architecture remains relevant and responsive to the needs of the enterprise. You then produce an Implementation Governance Model to manage the lessons learned prior to finalizing the Implementation and Migration plan. You recommend that lessons learned be quickly applied as changes to the architecture.
• B. You estimate the business value for each project by applying the Business Value Assessment Technique. The assessment should focus on return on investment and performance evaluation criteria used to monitor the progress of the architecture transformation. You confirm and plan a series of Transition Architecture phases using an Architecture Definition Increments Table. You then document the lessons learned and generate the final Implementation and Migration Plan.
• C. You need to determine how the Implementation and Migration plan fits with the other frameworks being used in the organization. You coordinate the planning with the business planning, project/portfolio management and operations management frameworks. You assign a business value to each project, considering the available resources and how well they align with the strategy. You then update the architecture roadmap and the Implementation and Migration Plan.
• D. You conduct a Compliance Assessment to ensure that the architecture is being implemented according to the contract. The Compliance Assessment verifies that the implementation team is using the proper development methodology. It should also include deployment of monitoring tools. If the monitoring tools show that performance targets are not being met, then the performance requirements should be changed and the Implementation and Migration Plan updated.

Answer: C

Explanation:
OptionCaligns best withTOGAF Phase F: Migration Planning, which deals with developing adetailed Implementation and Migration Plan, ensuringalignment with other enterprise frameworks, and assigning business valueto work packages and projects.
#TOGAF Phase F Activities (from the standard):
* Confirm Management Framework Interactions:
* Per TOGAF,Phase Fensures that the migration planning isaligned with the business planning, portfolio/project management, and operations management frameworksused by the enterprise (which are mentioned in the scenario).
* TOGAF emphasizes coordination between EA and other enterprise governance processes.
* Prioritize Projects:
* TOGAF recommends usingbusiness value, resource availability, and strategic alignmentto prioritize the various work packages and projects for implementation.
* This is directly referenced in option C:"assign a business value to each project, considering the available resources and how well they align with the strategy."
* Update Roadmaps and Implementation Plan:
* After coordination and prioritization, theArchitecture Roadmapand theImplementation and Migration Planare updated.
* This is essential before formal governance (Phase G).
#Why the Other Options Are Incorrect:
* A: Incorrect focus on updating the Architecture Definition Document and lessons learned.
* The Architecture Definition Document is mostly finalized in Phases B-E.
* Lessons learned and governance modeling are more relevant toPhase G(Implementation Governance) andPhase H(Architecture Change Management), not Phase F.
* B: Although it mentions theBusiness Value Assessment Technique(a valid tool in TOGAF), it includes Architecture Definition Increments Table, which isnot a standard TOGAF artifact.
* Also, "document the lessons learned" isprematurein Phase F; these are more applicable inPhase H).
* D: Focuses onCompliance Assessment, which is part ofPhase G(Implementation Governance),not Phase F.
* Changing performance requirements based on monitoring tools is handled duringoperations and change management, not during migration planning.
