OG0-093 · Question #20

According to TOGAF, which of the following best describes the classification of architectural change in the case where multiple server systems are being consolidated to a single system?

The correct answer is E. A simplification change handled via change management techniques. According to TOGAF, consolidating multiple server systems to a single system is classified as a simplification change. These types of changes are typically handled through ongoing change management processes.

Why each option

According to TOGAF, consolidating multiple server systems to a single system is classified as a simplification change. These types of changes are typically handled through ongoing change management processes.

AA bottom-up change to enhance operational capability

While it might enhance operational capability, the primary TOGAF classification for consolidation is simplification, and it's not strictly 'bottom-up' in the context of TOGAF's change classification.

BAn incremental change handled via change management techniques

While it is handled via change management, 'incremental change' is a broader term, and 'simplification' specifically describes the nature of consolidation according to TOGAF.

CA re-architecting change that puts the whole architecture through an ADM cycle

A full re-architecting change typically implies a significant, fundamental overhaul requiring a complete ADM cycle, which is usually not the case for a consolidation unless it's part of a much larger transformation.

DA revision change of the enterprise architecture

A revision change implies updating or refining existing architecture components, which is less specific than 'simplification' for the act of consolidation.

EA simplification change handled via change management techniquesCorrect

According to TOGAF, a simplification change involves the removal of redundant or outdated architectural components, such as consolidating multiple server systems into a single one. These changes are typically handled as part of routine change management without requiring a full ADM cycle.
