Question 1

Please read this scenario prior to answering the question

Your role is that of an Enterprise Architect for a firm that is a major OEM parts supplier to the auto

industry. Europe has been the primary market for its products, with just 20% of its output being

exported to North Americ

a. The firm is planning to expand its exports to North America and to

establish sales in other regions.

The Enterprise Architecture (EA) program within the firm has been functioning for several years. It

has made significant progress in consolidating the technology portfolio and establishing key

standards. The Chief Information Officer (CIO) and the Chief Operating Officer (COO) are joint

sponsors of the EA program. The EA program is mature, with an active Architecture Board and a

well-defined architecture process and standard content templates based on the TOGAF

Architecture Content Framework. The EA program is well coordinated with the Project Management

Office, Systems Development, and Operations functions.

The firm is organized into business units with each addressing different auto industry sectors. Each

business unit has acquired other producers to expand its manufacturing capacity. This has resulted

in a complex environment with a high diversity of business and manufacturing systems.

The firm has completed a strategic plan to reorganize its Sales and Marketing organization

according to the target geographic markets. One of the goals of this reorganization is to improve

the ability of Marketing to collect more meaningful market analytics that will enable each sector to

better address market needs with effective marketing campaigns and global product presence.

A Request for Architecture Work to address the goals of the reorganization has been approved. As

the architecture team commences its work, the CIO has expressed concerns about whether the

firm will be able to adapt to the proposed change and how to manage the associated risks.

Refer to the Scenario

You have been asked how to address the concerns of the CIO.

Based on the TOGAF Standard, Version 9.2, which of the following is the best answer?

AThe EA team should conduct a Business Scenario to describe the business problem,
identify the stakeholders' concerns and the resulting requirements. Once the requirements
have been identified, they can be assessed in terms of their risks. The risks should be
evaluated in terms of how they could be avoided, transferred, or mitigated. Any risks that
cannot be resolved should be identified as residual risks and their disposition should be
decided by the Architecture Board.

BThe EA team should create a set of Business Architecture views that will enable them to
identify the factors that will influence the reorganization. There should then be an
assessment of each factor on a maturity scale that will allow the team to gauge the urgency,
readiness, and degree of difficulty to fix. These factors can then be used to assess the initial
risks associated with the proposed project.

CThe EA team should analyze risk by completing an Implementation Factor Assessment and
Deduction Matrix. This is used to serve as an archive and record of key decisions made in
the implementation and deployment. The matrix should include a list of factors to be
considered, their descriptions, and constraints that should be taken into account. These
factors can then used to assess the initial risks associated with the proposed project.

DThe EA team should evaluate the organization's readiness to undergo change. This will
identify the factors that will influence the reorganization. This should include determining the
readiness rating for each factor based on a maturity scale that will allow the team to gauge
the urgency, readiness, and degree of difficulty to fix. These factors can then used to assess
the initial risks associated with the proposed project, and risk areas to be addressed.

The EA program is sponsored by the CIO.

The company has defined a strategic architecture to improve ils ability to meet customer demand and improve its ability to manage its supply chain. The strategic architecture called for the consolidation of multiple applications that have been operating independently in the divisions' production facilities. The goal is to replace the functionality of the existing applications with a new application running as a single instance in the company's primary data center.

Each division has completed the Architecture Definition documentation required to tailor and configure the environment to meet its own specific manufactunng requirements.

The key corporate change attributes and implementation constraints have been confirmed. The gap analysis results have been consolidated and integrated, which has identified the gaps across the Business, Dat

a. Application, and Technology domains. The requirements, dependencies and interoperability requirements needed to integrate the new application have been reviewed, consolidated, and validated. The Business Transformation Readiness Assessment started in Phase A has been completed. The risks associated with the transformation effort have been identified, classified, mitigated for, and documented. The Implementation and Migration Plan v0.1, the draft Architecture Roadmap, and the Capability Assessment deliverables have been completed.

Because of the risks posed by the complexity of the current environment. It has been determined that a phased approach is needed to implement the target architectures. The overall implementation process Is estimated to take several years.

Refer to the Scenario

You have been asked to recommend the next steps to prepare the final Implementation and Migration Plan.

Based on the TOGAF Standard. Version 9.2. which of the following is the best answer?

AYou recommend that the Architecture Definition Document is finalized and placed under configuration control. This will ensure that the architecture remains relevant and responsive to the needs of the enterprise. An Implementation Governance Model should be produced to manage the lessons learned prior to finalizing the plan. You recommend that lessons learned be applied as changes to the architecture. The final Implementation and Migration Plan should then be generated.

BYou recommend an assessment is made to determine how the plan impacts the other frameworks in use In the organization. If the plan impacts them, then coordination will be required. The business value should then be assigned to each work package, and projects identified for inclusion In the plan, taking Into account available resources and prionties for the projects. The details for the plan should be gathered together and the final Implementation and Migration Plan created.

CYou recommend that the criteria of business value rs applied to prioritize the implementation projects and project increments. This should focus on the return-on-investment criteria as signed off by the stakeholders, and the performance evaluation criteria used to monitor the progress of the architecture transformation. The Transition Architecture phases should be confirmed using an Architecture Definition Increments Table to list the projects. The lessons learned should then be documented, and the final Implementation and Migration Plan generated.

DYou recommend that the migration planning outputs are reviewed, and recommendations are produced for the solution development. The priorities, high-level migration strategy, and resources needed should be identified for the development team. The requirements for monitoring tools, and the performance targets for the implementation should be documented.

Question 3

Please read this scenario prior to answering the question

Your role is that of an Enterprise Architect In a company that develops wind turbines for use in wind farms. The company has multiple manufactunng facilities, in North America, Asia, and Europe. Each of these facilities supplies the power industry In Its region. Most of the facilities are wholly owned by the company, but those In Asia are jointly owned with local partners.

The company has a mature Enterprise Architecture practice supported by a cross-functional Architecture Board and uses the TOGAF standard.

The company recognizes that the long-term technical potential of wind energy can address the current global dependency on carbon fuels. In order to do so this will require wind turbines to be installed over large areas and in areas of higher wind resources. In particular offshore wind farms can contribute substantially more energy than land stationed turbines.

The research arm of the company has pioneered the development of an offshore wind turbine design, with an improved turbine blade and power system, that will produce up to 20% more energy. This new design is ready to go Into production.

As part of putting the new design into production, adjustments to the automated assembly processes need to be made. A pilot architecture project at a single location has defined an updated approach for controlling the automated systems used to perform final assembly and quality assurance. The Chief Engineer, sponsor of the activity, and the Architecture Board have approved the plan for immediate implementation at each plant.

Architecture Contracts have been developed that detail the wortc needed to implement and deploy the new automated system controller for each location. The Chief Engineer has expressed concern that a uniform process be employed at each location to ensure consistency and a low blade failure rate.

Refer to the Scenario

You have been asked to recommend the best approach to address the Chief Engineer's concern.

Based on the TOGAF Standard, Version 9.2. which of the following is the best answer?

AYou would review the Architecture Contract for each location, ensuring that it addresses the project objectives, effectiveness metrics, acceptance criteria, and risk management. Where applicable, you ensure that the contract is legally enforceable. You would schedule compliance reviews at key points in the assembly and quality assurance process to ensure that the work is proceeding in accordance with the Architecture Definition. All deviations from the contract should be reviewed by the Architecture Board, who would consider whether to grant a dispensation to allow the implementation organization to customize the process to meet their local needs.

BYou would create an Architecture Contract to manage and govern the implementation and migration process at each location. For wholly owned facilities, you issue a memorandum of understanding between the Architecture Board and the implementation organization. For facilities jointly owned by local partners, you would ensure that the contract is legally enforceable. You would then ensure that the Architecture Board reviews all deviations from the Architecture Contract, and considers whether or not to grant a dispensation to allow the Implementation organization to customize the process to meet their local needs.

CYou would create an Architecture Contract to govern the update to the automated system controller at each location. For facilities managed by partners, you ensure that it is a fully enforceable legal contract, and you would schedule additional compliance reviews at key points in the assembly and quality assurance process. These additional reviews would be for an initial period until no deviations from the contract occur. You recommend that if a deviation from the Architecture Contract is detected, the Architecture Board grant a dispensation to allow the implementation organization the ability to customize the process to meet their local needs.

DYou would use the Architecture Contracts to manage the architecture governance processes for the project across the locations. You would ensure that the quality of each completed turbine blade at each location is assessed, and any local change requirements identified, if necessary. You recommend that if a deviation from the contract is detected, the Architecture Board should modify the Architecture Contract to allow the implementation organization the ability to customize the process to meet their local needs As a result, you then issue a new Request for Architecture Work to implement the modified Architecture Definition.

Answer : A

Question 5

Scenario

Please read this scenario prior to answering the question

You are serving as the Lead Enterprise Architect for a chain of convenience stores. The stores operate 24 hours a day and 7 days a week and use cloud-based point-of-sale (POS) technology to manage their sales and inventory. Cloud-based POS systems store all user data, including sales and inventory in a remote server.

The cloud-based systems collect real-time data to support ordering and product selection decisions including the tailoring of product assortment based on sales history, customer demographics as well as the next day's weather forecast. In many cases, several stores are located in neighboring areas. This strategy makes distribution to each store cheaper, as well as making multiple deliveries per day possible. The stores also act as self-service delivery locations for a large online retailer which further increases the number of potential customers entering the stores.

An Enterprise Architecture practice exists within the company, with the CEO and CIO as joint sponsors. They have decided to adopt TOGAF standard within the practice and the first project is to restructure the Enterprise Architecture so that it can better support the existing environment and accommodate future changes of strategy within the company.

The CIO has stated that the following issues need to be addressed in the restructuring:

They need to address problems with data quality and inconsistent data in order to support better decision making and analysis.

The architecture should focus on the needs of the business, not technology

To remain competitive, new products and promotions must undergo market trials before deployment across the retail chain. Information systems must be able to manage changes and updates without undue delays.
