Answer: Phase F
Phase F (Migration Planning) includes assessing business transformation readiness as part of planning the migration approach.
In the ADM, what is the role of Architecture Principles during Phase B, C, and D?
Answer: They guide and constrain the architecture decisions made in those phases
Architecture Principles established in the Preliminary Phase and Phase A guide and constrain all subsequent architecture development.
What type of analysis is performed in each of Phases B, C, and D to identify shortfalls between current and target states?
Answer: Gap Analysis
Gap Analysis in Phases B, C, and D identifies the differences between the Baseline and Target Architectures that must be addressed.
Which ADM phase is responsible for populating the Architecture Repository with completed deliverables?
Answer: All phases contribute to the Architecture Repository throughout the ADM
The Architecture Repository is updated continuously throughout the ADM cycle as deliverables are completed in each phase.
What is the key difference between an 'Architecture Deliverable' and an 'Architecture Artifact' in TOGAF?
Answer: Deliverables are contractually specified work products; artifacts are catalogs, matrices, or diagrams within deliverables
In TOGAF, a Deliverable is a formally contractually specified work product, while an Artifact is a more granular document or diagram that is contained within a deliverable.
