What is an objective of the ADM Implementation Governance Phase?

The primary objective of the ADM Implementation Governance Phase (Phase G) is to ensure that the implementation projects conform to the Target Architecture defined in the preceding phases. This phase provides architectural oversight for the implementation. It involves confirming that the solution being deployed is compliant with the architecture specifications, handling any implementation-driven change requests, and conducting compliance assessments. The goal is to ensure the realization of the business value and benefits identified in the earlier stages of the ADM cycle.

A. To provide continual monitoring of the governance framework is an ongoing activity of the overall Architecture Capability, established in the Preliminary Phase and managed through Phase H (Architecture Change Management).
C. To finalize the Implementation and Migration Plan is a key objective of Phase F (Migration Planning), which occurs before the Implementation Governance phase begins.
D. To establish the resources for architecture governance is an objective of the Preliminary Phase, where the Architecture Capability, including the governance structure, is set up.
