What key deliverable is generated in Phase G of the ADM?

In Phase G of the Architecture Development Method (ADM), the key deliverable is the Architecture Governance Framework. This phase focuses on ensuring that the architecture aligns with the business objectives and that any changes are managed effectively. The governance framework provides a structured way to oversee the implementation of the architecture and ensures compliance with established guidelines, standards, and policies.

This deliverable captures the processes, roles, and responsibilities involved in governance, creating a way to measure the effectiveness of the architecture against the intended goals. It is critical for managing risk, ensuring accountability, and facilitating decision-making throughout the lifecycle of architecture development.

The other options, while important in other phases or contexts, do not represent the primary focus or deliverable of Phase G. For example, a Technology Roadmap is typically developed earlier in the ADM to guide technology transition and implementation but doesn’t specifically pertain to governance structures. The Architecture Vision Document is created in the earlier phases to outline the desired future state of the organization and is not focused on governing architecture implementation. Business Transformation Architectures are also contextual, relating more to changes in business strategies or processes rather than the governance framework itself.
