Multiple choice technology architecture

When completing the Applications Architecture, if the impact analysis reveals a significant change is needed to the business architecture, what may be warranted?

  1. Revisiting the business architecture phase

  2. Adjust the technology architecture to align the application architecture with the business architecture.

  3. Requesting a formal checkpoint review with the sponsors.

  4. Conduct a trade off analysis to resolve the conflict.

  5. Seek a temporary dispensation from the architecture governance board.

A Correct answer
Explanation

TOGAF's architecture development method is iterative. If Application Architecture work reveals necessary changes to Business Architecture, the correct action is to revisit and refine the Business Architecture phase before proceeding. This ensures alignment. Options B, C, D, and E suggest workarounds or governance actions that skip proper iteration back to the earlier phase.
