Scenario:
Please read this scenario prior to answering the Question
You have been assigned the role of Lead Enterprise Architect for a manufacturing firm that specializes in
musical instruments. The firm has been established for over 100 years, operating in North America for
most of that time. In the last ten years, the firm has expanded into European markets and will soon
establish a market in Latin America. A future expansion into the Asia Pacific region is also planned.
The firm is organized into several business units that each focus on manufacturing particular families of
instruments such as brass, woodwind, and percussion. Each business unit has acquired other producers
to expand its manufacturing capacity. This has resulted in a complex environment with a high diversity of
business and manufacturing systems.
The Enterprise Architecture (EA) program within the firm has been functioning for several years. It has
made significant progress in consolidating the technology portfolio and establishing key standards. The
CIO and the COO are pint sponsors of the EA program. The EA program is mature, with an active
Architecture Board and a well-defined architecture process and standard content templates based on the
TOGAF 9 Architecture Content Framework. The EA process framework is well coordinated with the PMO,
Systems Development, and Operations functions.
The firm has completed a strategic plan to reorganize its Sales & Marketing organization according to the
four target geographic markets. One of the goals of this reorganization is to improve the ability of
Marketing to collect more meaningful market analytics that will enable each sector to better address
market needs with effective marketing campaigns and global product presence.
A Request for Architecture Work to address the goals of the reorganization has been approved. As the
architecture team commences its work, the CIO has expressed concerns about whether the firm will be
able to adapt to the proposed architecture and how to manage the associated risks.
Refer to the Scenario
You have been asked how to address the concerns of the CIO.
Based on TOGAF 9, which of the following is the best answer?

• A.In Phase B, the team should create a set of views that will enable them to identify the factors that will
  influence the successful introduction of the architecture into the organization. There should then be an
  assessment of each factor on a maturity scale that will allow the team to gauge the urgency, readiness,
  and degree of difficulty to fix. These factors can then be used to assess the initial risks associated with
  the proposed architecture.
• B.In Phase A the team should analyze their risk by completing an Implementation Factor Assessment
  and Deduction Matrix to identify the particular risks associated with the implementation and
  deployment. The matrix should include a list of factors to be considered, their descriptions, and
  constraints that should be taken into account. These factors can then used to assess the initial risks
  associated with the proposed architecture.
• C.In Phase A, the team should use the Business Transformation Readiness Assessment technique to
  identify the factors that will influence the successful introduction of the architecture into the
  organization. The assessment should include determining the readiness rating for each factor based on
  a maturity scale that will allow the team to gauge the urgency, readiness, and degree of difficulty to fix.
  These factors can then used to assess the initial risks associated with the proposed architecture.
• D.In Phase A, the team should conduct a Business Scenario to identify the stakeholders' concerns and
  the resulting retirements. Once the retirements have been identified, they can be assessed in terms of
  their risks. The risks should be evaluated in terms of how they could be avoided, transferred, or
  mitigated. Any risks that cannot be resolved should be identified as residual risks and their disposition
  should be decided by the Architecture Board.
