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

You are employed as an Enterprise Architect in an Enterprise Architecture (EA) team at a food production and distribution company. The company’s primary goal is to increase profit while meeting consumer needs for its products. Its customers want food that is produced sustainably, safely, and transparently, while reducing environmental impact.

The company has an Enterprise Architecture practice based on the TOGAF standard, which it uses as the method and guiding framework. The Chief Information Officer (CIO) is the sponsor of the EA practice.

The business is a highly mechanized agricultural operation where business capabilities, including planting, harvesting, processing, packaging, and distribution, depend heavily on technology and machinery. Using EA has enabled decision makers to gain valuable insight into the various aspects of the business.

A warmer climate has resulted in less successful farming, and the company is growing fewer crops than before. In addition, prices for energy, feed, fuel, and fertilizer have risen. This has caused a significant drop in earnings. Because of the higher costs and lower profits, the company has been unable to do as much to help the environment. In particular, it has struggled to reduce its carbon emissions.

In response to the situation, the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) has decided that major changes are needed that will lead to improved crop production and profitability. They must consider all aspects of the business. This includes reviewing the crop mix to mitigate the effects of climate change. 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.
