The ADM: Transition Planning and Implementation (E, F, G, H)
Planning the transition from baseline to target architecture, migration planning, implementation governance, and architecture change management.
This topic covers the phases that take architecture from design into reality. Phase E: Opportunities and Solutions evaluates and selects implementation options, identifies major projects, and groups work packages into Transition Architectures. Phase F: Migration Planning develops a detailed Implementation and Migration Plan, analyzing costs, benefits, and risks, and prioritizing projects. Phase G: Implementation Governance ensures architecture conformance during implementation through Architecture Contracts and compliance reviews. Phase H: Architecture Change Management provides ongoing monitoring and a change management process to ensure the architecture continues to serve the enterprise as needs evolve.

The TOGAF ADM Transition Planning and Implementation phases (E, F, G, H) represent the execution phase of enterprise architecture transformation. Phase E focuses on opportunities and solutions by analyzing the gaps identified between baseline and target architectures, prioritizing change initiatives, and developing transition architectures that bridge the baseline and target states. This phase produces a comprehensive roadmap detailing the sequence and dependencies of implementation projects. Phase F, Migration Planning, creates detailed migration plans by consolidating transition architectures into implementation roadmaps, identifying dependencies between migration projects, and establishing realistic timelines. This phase ensures stakeholder alignment on sequencing and resource requirements. Phase G encompasses implementation governance, establishing the architecture governance framework to oversee implementation activities, manage deviations from the target architecture, and ensure compliance with architectural decisions. Phase H focuses on Architecture Change Management, providing mechanisms to address change requests, update architectural artifacts, and continuously improve the architecture framework. Together, these phases translate strategic architectural vision into operational reality through systematic planning and controlled execution. They emphasize governance, risk management, and stakeholder communication throughout the implementation lifecycle. The output includes implementation roadmaps, transition architectures, migration plans, and change management procedures that guide the organization through transformation while maintaining alignment with architectural principles and ensuring successful delivery of business benefits.The TOGAF ADM Transition Planning and Implementation phases (E, F, G, H) represent the execution phase of enterprise architecture transformation.
