Question 6

Please read this scenario prior to answering the question.

You are the Lead Enterprise Architect at a major agribusiness company. The company's mam harvest is lentils, a highly valued food grown worldwide. The lentil parasite, broomrape, has been an increasing concern for many years and is now becoming resistant to chemical controls. In addition, changes in climate favor the propagation and growth of the parasite. As a result, the parasite cannot realistically be exterminated, and it has become pandemic, with lentil yields falling globally.

In response to the situation, the CEO has decided that the lentil fields will be used for another harvest. The company will also cease to process third-party lentils and will repurpose its processing plants. Thus, the target market will change, and the end-products will be different and more varied.

The company has recently established an Enterprise Architecture practice based on the TOGAF standard as method and guiding framework. The CIO is the sponsor of the activity. A formal request for architecture change has been approved. At this stage there is no fixed scope, shared vision, or objectives.

Refer to the scenario -

You have been asked to propose the best approach for architecture development to realize the CEO’s change in direction for the company.

Based on the TOGAF standard which of the following is the best answer?

A You propose that this engagement define the baseline Technology Architecture first in order to assess the current infrastructure capacity and capability for the company. Then the focus should be on transition planning and incremental architecture deployment. This will identify requirements to ensure that the projects are sequenced in an optimal fashion so as to realize the change.
B You propose that the team focus on architecture definition including development of business models, with emphasis on defining the change parameters to support this new business strategy that the CEO has identified. Once understood, the team will be in the best position to identify the requirements, drivers, issues, and constraints for the change.
C You propose that the priority is to produce a new Request for Architecture Work leading to development of a new Architecture Vision. The trade-off method should be applied to identify and select an architecture satisfying the stakeholders. For an efficient change the EA team should be aligned with the organization’s planning, budgeting, operational, and change processes.
D You propose that the team uses the architecture definition document and focus on architecture development starting simultaneously phases B, C and This is because the CEO has identified the need to change. This will ensure that the change can be defined in a structured manner and address the requirements needed to realize the change.

Question 13

Please read this scenario prior to answering the question

You are an Enterprise Architect at a food production and distribution company. The goal of the company is to maximize profit while satisfying the needs of consumers for its products. Its customers demand food that is produced sustainably, safely, and transparently while reducing environmental impact.

The business is highly mechanized, and this mechanization has brought about a decrease in the number of workers needed, together with a focus on agricultural engineering to improve the efficiency of its farms, its processing facilities, and the overall enterprise. As part of this, the company has established an Enterprise Architecture (EA) practice based on the TOGAF standard, using it as the method and guiding framework. The Chief Information Officer (CIO) is the sponsor of the EA practice. The practice has adopted an iterative approach for its architecture development. This has enabled decision-makers to have valuable insights into different aspects of the business.

In recent years, there have been a series of bad harvests and a major reduction in yields of the main crop produced by the company. This combined with an increase in costs for energy, feed, fuel, and fertilizer, has led to a significant decrease in profits. The rising costs and reduced profits mean that the company is unable to take as much planned action on climate measures as it would like, such as reducing its carbon footprint. The Chief Executive Officer (CEO) has stated that big changes are needed to improve yields and profitability.

The outline strategy for change includes new products and new markets. The company will switch to a mix of crops rather than depend on a single main crop and will allow the use of its processing facilities by third parties. This is a major decision, and the CEO has stated a preference to repurpose and reuse rather than replace, so as to manage risks and limit costs.

The CIO has assigned the EA team to manage this project. The CIO has stated that although the overall objective is known, the EA team is expected to define the scope, a shared vision, and the requirements.

Refer to the scenario -

You have been asked to recommend the best approach for architecture development to realize the CEO's change in direction for the company.

Based on the TOGAF standard, which of the following is the best answer?

A You recommend that the team focus its iteration cycles on architecture development by going through the architecture definition phases (B-D) with a baseline-first approach. This will support the change in direction as stated by the CEO. It will ensure that the change can be defined in a structured manner and address the requirements needed to realize the change.
B You recommend that the priority is to understand the problem and define the structure of the change. The team should focus iteration cycles on a baseline-first approach to architecture development and then transition planning. This will identify the change needed in order to transition from the baseline to the target and can be used to work out in detail what the agreed vision is for the change.
C You recommend that the team focus on architecture definition and operate multiple ADM phases concurrently to support this new business strategy that the CEO has identified. Once understood, the team will be in the best position to identify the requirements, drivers, issues, and constraints for the change. You would ensure that the architecture development addresses non-functional requirements to assure that the target architecture is robust and secure.
D You recommend that this engagement define the baseline Technology Architecture first in order to assess the current infrastructure capacity and capability of the company. Then, the focus should be on transition planning and incremental architecture deployment. This will identify requirements to ensure that projects are sequenced optimally to realize the change.

Question 15

Please read this scenario prior to answering the question

You are an Enterprise Architect working at an electric vehicle manufacturer. You are part of an Enterprise Architecture (EA) team that has responsibilities across multiple divisions of the company. The company produces electric cars, and battery systems. The goal of the company is to build the best technology and software platform to support self-driving cars.

An architecture to support strategy has been completed defining a long-term Target Architecture with a roadmap over five years. This has identified the need for a portfolio of projects over the next two years. The portfolio includes the development of travel assistance systems using data gathered from multiple vehicles on the road.

The design of the presentation and accessibility of different types of data that the company plans to offer through its platform appears to be challenging. It is important for the application portfolio to work securely with third-party cloud services and V2X (Vehicle-to-Everything) service providers across many countries in order to effectively manage large amounts of data. Stakeholders are particularly concerned about the security of V2X. Regulations in various markets mandate that user privacy must always be safeguarded, to prevent tracking and compiling of data that could reveal drivers’ journeys.

The company uses the TOGAF Standard as the basis for its Enterprise Architecture framework. Architecture development within the company uses the purpose-based EA Capability Model as described in the TOGAF Series Guide: A Practitioner’s Approach to Developing Enterprise Architecture Following the TOGAF® ADM. The EA team reports to the Chief Information Officer (CIO), who is the sponsor of the EA program.

The current phase of architecture development is focused on the Business Architecture, which needs to support the primary travel assistance services that the company plans to provide. These services will manage and process the data created by vehicles, paving the way for self-driving vehicles in the future.

Refer to the scenario -

You have been asked to describe the risk and security considerations you would include in the current phase of the architecture development.

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

A You focus on data quality as it is a key factor in risk management. You identify the datasets that need to be safeguarded. For each dataset, you assign ownership and responsibility for the quality of data needs. A security classification will be defined and applied to each dataset. The dataset owner is then able to authorize processes that are trusted for a certain activity on the dataset under specific circumstances.
B You perform a qualitative risk assessment for the data assets exchanged with partners. This delivers a set of priorities, high to medium to low, based on identified threats, the likelihood of occurrence, and the impact if it does occur. Using the priorities, you then develop a Business Risk Model that details the risk strategy including classifications to determine what mitigation is enough.
C You create a security domain model so that assets with the same level can be managed under one security policy. Since data is being shared across partners, you establish a security federation to include them. This includes contractual arrangements, and a definition of the responsibility areas for the exchanged data, as well as security implications. You undertake a risk assessment determining risks relevant to specific data assets.
D You focus on the relationship with the third parties required for the travel assistance systems and define a trust framework. This describes the relationship with each party. Digital certificates are a key part of the framework and will be used to create trust between parties. You monitor legal and regulatory changes across all countries to keep the trust framework in compliance.

Question 16

Please read this scenario prior to answering the question

You are an Enterprise Architect working within a large company that operates globally. The company has been very successful and has made acquisitions around the world. It has led to a growing number of manufacturing divisions in many locations with a complex supply chain.

Senior management recently expressed concerns about the company’s effectiveness because of its multiple data centers and duplicate applications. The EA team has been working on a project to solve this issue. An analysis shows that supply chain issues have led to not enough products being produced to meet all the customer demand.

A strategic architecture has been defined to help meet customer demand and manage the supply chain more effectively. The strategic architecture involves combining different Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) applications that are currently used separately in the company’s production sites.

Each division has finished the Architecture Definition documentation to address their own specific manufacturing needs. The enterprise architects have defined a set of work packages that address the gaps found. They have noted the value produced, work needed, and dependencies between work packages to achieve a target architecture for adding a new ERP environment into the company.

Because of the risks posed by this change from the current environment, the architects have recommended that a phased approach should be taken to implement the target architecture with several stages of change. The entire implementation process is estimated to take over two years.

The company has an established Enterprise Architecture (EA) practice and follows the TOGAF Architecture Development Method. The company also uses various management frameworks such as business planning, project/portfolio management, and operations management. The EA program is sponsored by the Chief Information Officer (CIO). In your role as an Enterprise Architect within the EA team, you work closely with the important stakeholders from the various divisions within the company.

Refer to the scenario -

You have been asked about the next steps in planning the migration.

Based on the TOGAF standard which of the following is the best answer?

A You evaluate how the Implementation and Migration plan affects the other frameworks currently in use within the organization. At a minimum, you make sure that the plan aligns with the business planning, project/portfolio management, and operations management frameworks. Next, you assign a value to each work package, taking into account the resources available and how they fit into the overall strategy. Using these work packages, you select which projects will be included in the Implementation and Migration Plan.
B You put the Architecture Definition Document under configuration control. This will make sure that the architecture stays relevant and flexible to the needs of the enterprise. You would identify the needed resources to undertake the development projects. You would then produce an Implementation Governance Model to manage the lessons learned before finishing the plan. You suggest that the lessons learned be applied as changes to the architecture without a further check.
C You conduct a series of Compliance Assessments to check that the architecture is being implemented as required by the contract. The Compliance Assessment needs to confirm that the implementation team is following the correct development process. This involves using monitoring tools and making sure that performance targets are being achieved. If the targets are not met, you would then need to make adjustments to the performance requirements and update them in the Implementation and Migration Plan.
D You estimate the business value for each project by applying the Business Value Assessment Technique to prioritize the implementation projects and project steps. The assessment should focus on return on investment and criteria for evaluating performance to track the progress of the architecture transformation. You would confirm and plan a series of Transition Architecture phases using a table of Architecture Definition Increments that lists the projects.
