What is an objective of the ADM Implementation Governance Phase?

The primary objective of the ADM Implementation Governance Phase (Phase G) is to provide architectural oversight for the implementation. This involves ensuring that the implementation projects conform to the Target Architecture defined in the preceding phases. The phase establishes a connection between the architecture and its realization, confirming that the delivered solution is consistent with the agreed-upon architectural specifications and contracts. This governance ensures the business value expected from the architecture is achieved.

A. To provide continual monitoring of the governance framework: This is a function of the overall Architecture Capability, established in the Preliminary Phase and maintained through Architecture Change Management, not a specific objective of Phase G.

C. To finalize the Implementation and Migration Plan: This plan is developed in Phase E (Opportunities and Solutions) and finalized in Phase F (Migration Planning), prior to the start of Phase G.

D. To establish the resources for architecture governance: Establishing the Architecture Capability, including governance structures and resources, is an objective of the Preliminary Phase.
