Please read this scenario prior to answering the Question

Your role is that of Lead Enterprise Architect within a vacation property management firm that has been growing through acquisition. The firm manages over 200 resort properties across North America. Many of the resort properties use the same internal IT systems that they used before they were acquired. Until recently, the only requirement that has been placed on each property is that they use a standard financial reporting system to report their financial results to the headquarters on a weekly basis.

The CEO has stated his concerns about the inefficiencies of the current approach and identified the need to change. He has defined a new strategic vision that will enhance the business by standardizing its operations across the network to provide consolidated financial, human resources, logistics, sales and marketing, and yield management. He has also stated that he expects results by the end of the current fiscal year.

These changes will provide the company with improved utilization of its capacity and more efficient operations. The addition of a corporate-wide data warehouse will provide analytics that will enable the marketing group to improve its ability to target advertising into key markets to improve yields.

The firm has a mature enterprise architecture practice and uses TOGAF 9 as the method and guiding framework. The CIO is the sponsor of the activity.

In planning this change, the Chief Architect engaged the services of a well-known consulting firm that specializes in business strategy. An initial study has been conducted to identify the strategic changes needed to implement the CEO ' s vision. This recently completed with approval of a strategic architecture encompassing the entire firm, including detailed requirements and recommendations.

Based on the recommendations from the initial study, the firm has taken the decision to adopt a packaged suite of integrated applications that is tailored to the needs of the hospitality industry.

Refer to the scenario

You have been asked by the Chief Architect to justify the best approach for architecture development to realize the CEO ' s vision.

Based on TOGAF 9, which of the following is the best answer?

Options:
A.

You recommend that the target architecture is defined first, followed by transition planning. This is because the vision is well understood and the strategic architecture agreed. This will ensure that the current problems and inefficiencies of the baseline architecture are not carried forward, and that the proposed solution addresses the requirements identified in the initial study.

B.

You recommend that the team focus on architecture definition, with a specific emphasis on understanding the strategic change parameters of the business strategy. Once understood, the team will be in the best position to identify the requirements, drivers, issues, and constraints for this engagement. You would ensure that the target architecture addresses non-functional requirements so as to ensure the target architecture is robust and secur

C.

You recommend that the team focus on defining the target architecture by going through the architecture definition phases (B-D). This is because the initial study 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 vision.

D.

You recommend that this engagement define the baseline Technology Architecture first in order to assess the current infrastructure capacity and capability. Then the focus should be on transition planning and architecture deployment. This will identify retirements to ensure that the projects are sequenced in an optimal fashion so as to realize the vision.

Your role is that of a consultant to the Lead Enterprise Architect in a company that speicializes in luxury electric cars and their powertrain components, and also produces battery-charging equipment. It has its own distribution network, its own showrooms, and sells directly to customers via the internet. The company has four manufacturing facilities, two in the North America, one in Europe, and one in Asia.

A challenge that the company is facing to scale up the number of vehicles coming off the production line to meed customer demand, while maintaining quality. At the moment there are supply chain storages for key electronic components related to the autonomous drive system. In response the this, the research arm of the company has pioneered the development of a new self-driving platform. This new design uses common off-the-shelf components that will allow for a significant increase in overall vehicle production. This new design is ready to go into production.

The company has a mature Enterprise Architecture practice that is supported by a cross-functional Architecture Board. The TOGAF standard is used for developing the automated manufacturing process and systems used to design, manufacture and test the new design. The Chief Information Officer and the Chief Operating Officer co-sponsor the Enterprise Architecture program.

As part of putting the new self-driving platform 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 test systems used to perform final 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 work needed to implement and deploy the new automated test system controller for each location. The Chief Engineer has expressed concern that a uniform process be employed at each location to ensure consistency and quality.

Scenario:

Please read this scenario prior to answering the question

The ABC company is the prime contractor for the Telesto Unmanned Spacecraft program. Over the course of this contract, the company has grown rapidly by acquisition and has inherited numerous different procurement processes and related IT systems. The company is moving aggressively to consolidate and reduce redundant procurement processes and systems. The CEO has announced that the company will seek to leverage higher volume discounts and lower related IT support costs by instituting a preferred supplier program.

To achieve this goal, the company needs to define Baseline and Target Architectures. These architectures must address key stakeholders ' concerns such as:

1. What groups of people should be involved in procurement-related business processes?

2. What current applications do those groups use?

3. Which procurement-related business processes are supported by zero, one, or many existing applications?

4. What are the overall lifetimes of the Request for Proposal and Purchase Order business objects? What non-procurement applications will need to be integrated with any new procurement applications?

5. What data will need to be shared?

At present, there are no particularly useful architectural assets related to this initiative, so all assets need to be acquired and customized or created from scratch. The company prefers to implement existing package applications from systems vendors with little customization.

The architecture development project has just completed its Architecture Context iteration cycle and is about to begin the Architecture Definition iteration cycle. The company is using TOGAF for its internal Enterprise Architecture activities. It uses an iterative approach for executing Architecture Development Method (ADM) projects.

Scenario

Please read this scenario prior to answering the Question

You are serving as the Lead Architect for an insurance company, which has been formed through the merger of three previously independent companies. The company now consists of three divisions with the same names and division headquarters as their predecessors.

The lack of integration between the three divisions has increasingly caused problems in the handling of customer and financial information. The inability to share information has resulted in lost opportunities to leverage the synergies that should have been possible as a result of the merger. At present, each division maintains its own applications. Despite an earlier initiative to install a common application to manage customer, products, and claims information, each division has different ways of defining these core elements and has customized the common application to the point where the ability to exchange information is difficult, costly, and error-prone.

As a result, the company has made the decision to introduce a common web portal, contact center software suite, and document management system. Also the company has selected a single enterprise-wide customer relationship management (CRM) application to consolidate information from several applications that exist across the divisions. The application will be used by each of the divisions and accessed by third party partners through well defined interfaces.

The Corporate Board is concerned that the new application must be able to manage and safeguard confidential customer information in a secure manner that meets or exceeds the legal requirements of the countries in which the company operates. This will be an increasingly important capability as the company expands its online services in cooperation with its partners.

The CIO has formed an Enterprise Architecture department, and one of the primary goals in its charter is to coordinate efforts between the implementation team and the migration teams in each division. The CIO has also formed a cross-functional Architecture Board to oversee and govern the architecture. The company has an existing team of security architects.

TOGAF 9 has been selected as the core framework for use for the Enterprise Architecture program. The CIO has endorsed this choice with the full support of top management.

You have been appointed as a consultant to the Chief Enterprise Architect of a multinational pharmaceutical corporation. The corporation includes 30 subsidiary companies with operations in over 60 countries and products sold in over 125 countries. It has major research and development sites in over 45 locations worldwide.

The management team is deeply committed to ensuring that the corporation is a world leader in socially responsible pharmaceutical development with a business strategy that focuses on profitability through environmentally friendly operating processes as well as a commitment to disease eradication.

The operations of the corporation are subject to legal and regulatory requirements for each country where they operate. The production of prescription pharmaceutical products has governmental controls that are strictly enforced and compliance is critical. Recently a competitor was heavily fined for violating the regulations in a country where it was conducting a clinical trial for a new regulated drug.

The Governing Board is concerned about the risks posed in this complex global environment. As a result the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) has appointed a Chief Compliance Officer (CCO) to be responsible for overseeing and managing compliance issues for the corporation. The CCO reports directly to the CEO.

The CCO has approved the expenditure of resources to establish an Enterprise Architecture program. He has requested to be informed about the status of projects that could impact regulatory compliance. He also wants the corporate legal staff and auditors to analyze all proposed architectures to ensure that they are within the legal guidelines for each country. In addition, the research organization should be able to see that the architecture is appropriate for its needs.

TOGAF 9 has been mandated as the framework for the development and evolution of the Enterprise Architecture practice. The Preliminary Phase has been completed to establish the enterprise architecture capability for this project.

Refer to the Scenario

You have been asked to recommend an approach that would enable the development of an architecture that addresses the needs of the Chief Compliance Officer, legal staff, auditors and the research organization.

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

Options:
A.

You recommend that a stakeholder map be developed. This will allow the architects to define groups of stakeholders that share common concerns. A set of views should be defined to address the concerns for each group of stakeholders. Architecture models should then be created for each view to address the stakeholders ' concerns.

B.

You recommend that each project architecture activity is developed using a consistent modeling approach that is uniform across all architecture projects. Each architecture should be defined based on this fixed set of models so that all concerned parties can examine the models to ensure that their issues and concerns have been addressed.

C.

You recommend that a special report be created for those groups that have sufficient power and level of interest. This report should summarize the key features of the architecture with respect to the particular location. Each of these reports should reflect the stakeholders ' requirements.

D.

You recommend that a set of models be created for each project architecture that can be used to ensure that the system will be compliant with the local regulations. Stakeholders should then view the models to verify that their concerns have been properly addressed.

Questions 30

Scenario:

Please read this scenario prior to answering the question

Your role is that of the Lead Enterprise Architect at a multinational automotive corporation. The company is headquartered in Germany, and manufactures cars, trucks and buses. It has manufacturing plants across North America, South America, Europe and Asia. Each of these plants has been operating its own planning and production scheduling systems, as well as custom developed applications that drive the automated production equipment at each plant.

The company has an ongoing initiative to improve the efficiency of all of its production operations, and in particular to reduce its carbon footprint. During a recent exercise held for internal quality improvement, it was determined that a significant reduction in energy usage could be achieved by replacing the current planning and scheduling systems with a common Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system located in one central data center. This central system would provide support to each of the plants replacing the functionality in the existing systems. It would also eliminate the need for full data centers at each of the plant facilities.

The Enterprise Architecture department has been operating for several years and has mature, well-developed architecture governance and development processes that are strongly based on TOGAF standard.

At a recent meeting, the Architecture Board approved a Request for Architecture Work sponsored by the global CIO. The request covered the initial architectural investigations and the development of a comprehensive architecture to plan the transformation.

The architecture project team has now been formed, and has been asked to develop an Architecture Vision that will achieve the desired outcomes and benefits. Some of the plant managers have expressed concern about the security and reliability of driving their planning and production scheduling from a remote centralized system. The CIO wants to know how these concerns can be addressed. During the initial project team meeting a number of alternative recommendation for how to proceed have been put forward by members of the team.

Refer to the Scenario

You have been asked to select the most appropriate recommendation to ensure that the team evaluates different approaches to the problem and clarifies the requirements for the architecture.

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

Options:
A.

The team should exercise due diligence and carefully research vendor literature and conduct a series of briefings with vendors that are on the current approved supplier list. Based on the findings from the research, the tam should define a preliminary Architecture Vision. The team should then use that model to build consensus among the key stakeholders.

B.

The team should identify the individuals and groups within the organization who will contribute to the project in order to understand who has concerns about the initiative. The team should then hold a series of interviews at each of the manufacturing plants using the business scenario technique. This will then enable them to identify and document the key high-level stakeholder requirements for the architecture.

C.

The team should utilize its approved supplier list, and conduct a pilot project that will enable those suppliers to demonstrate potential solutions that will address the concerns of the stakeholders. Based on the findings of that pilot project, a complete set of requirements will be developed that will drive the evolution of the architecture.

D.

The team should perform a shallow architecture development iteration, developing Baseline and Target Architecture for each of the manufacturing plants. This should include development of a set of views corresponding to selected viewpoints that address key concerns of the stakeholders. A consolidated gap analysis between the architectures will then be used to validate the approach and determine the capability increments needed to achieve the
