What does the TOGAF ADM recommend for use in developing an Architecture Vision document?
Consider the diagram showing a classification model for Architecture Landscapes.
When considering the scope of an architecture, what dimension considers to what level of detail the architecting effort should go?
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.

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.

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.

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?
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.
