OGEA-103: TOGAF Enterprise Architecture Combined Part 1 and Part 2 Exam

Overview

You work as an Enterprise Architect at a food production and distribution company. The company’s primary objective is to maximize profit while meeting consumer demand for its products. Customers expect food that is produced sustainably, safely, and transparently, while environmental impact is reduced.

The business is highly mechanized, and this mechanization has reduced the number of workers required. It has also increased the 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 EA practice. The introduction of EA has enabled the decision makers to gain valuable insight into the different aspects of the business.

Global warming has resulted in many poor harvests, and the company is producing fewer crops than before. Combined with rising costs for energy, feed, fuel, and fertilizer, this has led to a significant decrease in profits. The higher costs and lower profits mean that the company cannot take as much planned action on climate measures as it would like, such as reducing its carbon footprint. In response, the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) has decided that major changes are needed that will lead to both improved crop production and profitability. They must consider all aspects of the business, including the mix of crops to mitigate the climate change impact.

The company will also stop processing its own crops and will sell its processing facilities. As a result, the target market will change, and the end-products will be different and more varied. A formal request for architecture change has been approved. At this stage, there is no fixed scope, shared vision, or objectives.
