ADM Phases & Approach - Phase G - Implementationg Governance:

To enable early realization of business value and benefits, and to minimize the risk in the transformation and migration program, the favored approach is to deploy the Target Architecture as a series of transitions. Each transition represents an incremental step towards the target, and each delivers business benefit in its own right. Therefore, the overall approach in Phase G is to:

• Establish an implementation program that will enable the delivery of the Transition Architectures agreed for implementation during the Migration Planning phase
• Adopt a phased deployment schedule that reflects the business priorities embodied in the Architecture Roadmap
• Follow the organization's standard for corporate, IT, and architecture governance
• Use the organization's established portfolio/program management approach, where this exists
• Define an operations framework to ensure the effective long life of the deployed solution

Phase G establishes the connection between architecture and implementation organization, through the Architecture Contract.
Project details are developed, including:

• Name, description, and objectives
• Scope, deliverables, and constraints
• Measures of effectiveness
• Acceptance criteria
• Risks and issues

Implementation governance is closely allied to overall architecture governance, which is discussed in Part VII, 50. Architecture Governance .
