20
New cards

What occurs in Phase E: Opportunities and Solutions of the ADM?

  • Conduct the initial implementation planning from baseline to target architecture

  • Identify delivery vehicles for the architecture defined in the previous phases

21
New cards

What are “delivery vehicles” for architecture delivery?

The programme, projects, and portfolios used to implement the architecture

22
New cards

What is Phase F?

Migration Planning

23

  • Describes how to move from the Baseline to the Target architectures

  • Finalize a detailed Implementation and Migration Plan

What is Phase G of the ADM?

Implementation Governance

25
New cards

What occurs within Phsae G: Implementation Governance of the ADM?

  • Supports projects that provide an architectural oversight of the implementaion

  • *ensures implementation is aligned with the target architecture

26
New cards

What is Phase H of the ADM?

Phase H = Architecture Change Management

27
New cards

What occurs within Phase H: Architecture Change Management in the ADM?

  • Establish procedures to managing change to the new architecture

  • Holding phase to keep ADM running, until a change request is approved and ADM re-cycles

28
New cards

Do you have to re-cycle through the entire ADM if a change request is made in Architecture Change Management?

Yes - if a change to the architecture is approved — recycle through the ADM to address it on all levels, business, IT, implementation, etc.

29
New cards

What is the “Requirement Management” phase of the ADM?

Manages the requirements during the ADM cycle

  • operates the process of managing architecture requirements through the ADM

  • Continuous phase for requirements management

  • Ensures changes to requirements are handled through appropriate governanc eprocess and relfected in all phases

30
New cards

When does requirement management occur within the ADM?

All the time - it is a continuous phase for requirements management

31
New cards

Does output from each phase need to be complete, prior to moving onto the next phase?

No - outputs of each stage are defined and may be at different levels of complete

Outputs can be incrementally completed throughout the phases

32
New cards

What are “outputs” from stages of the ADM?

Generally, artifacts and deliverables

33
New cards

True or False: The entire ADM with all its phases in arranged in a cycle

False - 8 of the 10 phases are in a cycle; preliminary is befor ethe cycle and requirements management is continuous

34
New cards

Which phase of the ADM creates the Architecture Capability of an organization?

Preliminary phase

35
New cards

Which phase(s) of the ADM develop architectures to support the Architectural Vision?

Phase B: Business Arch

Phase C: Information Systems Arch

Phase D. Technology Arch

36
New cards

What is the initial phase of the Architecture development cycle?

Phase A: Architecture Vision

(preliminary is befor ethe cycle begins)

37
New cards

Which phase of the ADM conducts the initial implementation planning from baseline to target architecture?

Phase E: Opportunities and Solutions

38
