Refer to the scenario
You have been tasked with starting the architecture development. How do you begin?
Based on the TOGAF standard which of the following is the best answer?

• A. You recommend that a Communications Plan be created to address the key stakeholders, that is themost powerful and influential partners. This plan should include a report that summarizes the keyfeatures of the architecture with respect to each location and reflects the stakeholders ' requirements.You will check with each key stakeholder that their concerns are being addressed. Risk mitigationshould be explicitly addressed as a component of the architecture being developed.
• B. You recommend creation of a set of business models that can be applied uniformly across all Al-related architecture projects. These should be developed in the portable format to ensure maximumportability across the many tools used in the firm. Each architecture should then be defined based onthis fixed set of models. All concerned parties can then examine the models to ensure that theirneeds have been addressed.
• C. You recommend that an analysis of the stakeholders is undertaken. This will allow the architects todefine groups of partners (the stakeholders) who have common concerns and include developmentof a Stakeholder Map. The concerns and relevant views should then be defined for each group andrecorded in the Architecture Vision document. To mitigate risk, you include a requirement that therebe progressive development of the target architecture to ensure there is regular feedback.
• D. You recommend that models be created for the Draft Business, Data, Application, and TechnologyArchitectures. These can be used to ensure that the system will be compliant with the localregulations for each division. Together with the problem description, and requirements, this ensuresthat all the necessary data and detail is addressed. A formal review should be held with thestakeholders to verify that their concerns have been properly addressed by the models.

You are employed as an Enterprise Architect at a bank. The bank is well established and maintains a large networks of branches and ATMs, offering in-person services alongside some basic digital options. The bank has several divisions, including retail banking, commercial banking, investment banking, legal and compliance.
The bank has an established Enterprise Architecture (EA) practice and has adopted the TOGAF standard for use in its architecture work. The bank uses EAto organize their entire operating model, including people, processes, data, and technol ogy. The EA practice is federated, which allows some interoperability and information sharing between the divisions yet permits partially independent activity. You are working in the EA team within the retail banking division.
The bank faces competition from new online-only banks, known as challenger banks. These banks have no physical locations. They are able to offer competitive interest rates and lower fees due to reduced overheads.
A recent survey has shown that these challenger banks are popular with younger consumers, 62% of 18-24- year-olds prefer them over traditional banks.
To maintain its position, the bank has approved a project to compete with the challenger banks and plans to launch its own competing products. This includes investing heavily in mobile apps, Al-powered chatbots and online services.
The retail banking division has setup a new organization within it, to act as a virtual startup. You have been assigned to the EA project within the new organization. A high-level vision for a new line of competing products has been completed. Key focus areas for the business architecture included business capability mapping, value stream development, and customer journey mapping. Target architectures for business, information systems, and technology have been completed.
A greenfield implementation strategy has been chosen, so the team will focus on building something entirely new rather than modifying existing systems.
Refer to the scenario
You have been asked to draft the Architecture Roadmap.
Based on the TOGAF standard which of the following is the best answer?

• A. Generate a comprehensive plan that integrates all projects, activities, dependencies, and impacts.
  Coordinate the Implementation and Migration Plan with the enterprise ' s other change activities.
  Ensure key stakeholders understand the business value and cost of work packages and transition architectures. For each work package, document business value, risks, issues, assumptions, dependencies, resource requirements, and costs. Visually represent how each implementation project relates to the overall transformation. Complete the roadmap.
• B. Confirm the most appropriate implementation strategy, which is to build completely new digital banking systems. Identify factors that should be considered when planning the implementation. Identify any gaps across all architecture domains and for each gap, identify a proposed solution and classify it as new development, purchased solution, or based on an existing product. Select appropriate solutions that are competitive. Consider regulatory implications, which are especially important for banking. Ensure solutions address stakeholder requirements.
• C. Document the strategic rationale for the approach, explaining why a completely new implementation is preferred over revolutionary or evolutionary approaches. Select a quick win implementation approach focusing on high-value components first. Logically group changes into well-defined work packages that align perfectly with the target state. Document work packages business value. Define intermediate states between the baseline and target architectures. Consolidate work packages and transition architectures into a timeline showing progression from baseline to target architecture.
• D. Draw up a matrix documenting the architecture domain, gaps between the baseline and target architectures, potential solutions to address each gap, and the dependencies between solutions. Identify necessary transition architectures that will be intermediate steps towards the Target Architecture.
  Provide a project and portfolio breakdown of implementation, including allocation of work packages to project and portfolio, capabilities delivered by projects, milestones and timing. For each project, include the project charter, the included work packages, descriptions for the business value and risk.
