Architecture Assignment Sample: Case Study

Tasks

Complete the following tasks with reference to the ArchiFarm case study.

Document all assumptions you make and cite the source of information where appropriate.

Task 3.1: Baseline Architecture

You may need to consolidate and document the individual baseline architectures the team members

created in Assignments 1 and 2 into a coherent baseline.

Document the baseline architecture using appropriate ArchiMate diagrams.

Task 3.2: Target Architecture

Define a target architecture for ArchiFarm. Consider the business capabilities, business-, information-,

application-, and technology layers.

Create appropriate ArchiMate diagrams showing the target architecture.

Task 3.3: Gap Analysis

Perform a gap analysis between the baseline architecture (Task 3.1) and the Target Architecture (Task 3.2).

Create appropriate ArchiMate diagrams showing the gaps.

Task 3.4: Roadmap

Develop a roadmap for the migration from baseline to target architecture.

Ensure that your roadmap maintains business continuity throughout the transition.

Create appropriate ArchiMate diagrams showing the roadmap.

Task 3.5: Presentation

Create a presentation illustrating the gap analysis and transition recommendations.

You must be able to complete the presentation in class within the allocated time in Week 12/13. The

presentation shall comprise no more than 10 slides. It is strongly recommended that you practise
