Question 8

Please read this scenario prior to answering the question

Your role is that of a consultant to the Lead Enterprise Architect to an international supplier of

engineering services and automated manufacturing systems. It has three manufacturing plants

where it assembles both standard and customized products for industrial production

automation. Each of these plants has been operating its own planning and production

scheduling systems, as well as applications and control systems that drive the automated

production line.

The Enterprise Architecture department has been operating for several years and has mature,

well-developed architecture governance and development processes that are based on the

TOGAF Standard. The CIO sponsors the Enterprise Architecture.

During a recent management meeting, a senior Vice-President highlighted an interview where

a competitor company's CIO is reported as saying that their production efficiency had been

improved by replacing multiple planning and scheduling systems with a common Enterprise

Resource Planning (ERP) system located in a central data center. Some discussion followed,

with the CIO responding that the situations are not comparable, and the current architecture is

already optimized.

In response, the Architecture Board approved a Request for Architecture Work covering the

investigations to determine if such an architecture transformation would lead to improvements

in efficiency. You have been assigned to support the architecture team working on this project.

A well-known concern of the plant managers is about the security and reliability of driving their

planning and production scheduling from a remote centralized system. Any chosen system

would also need to support the current supply chain network consisting of local partners at

each of the plants.

Refer to the scenario

You have been asked to explain how you will initiate the architecture project.

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

Options:

A.

You would 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, you would define a preliminary Architecture Vision including summary

views, high-level requirements, and high-level definitions of the baseline and target

environments from a business, information systems, and technology perspective. You

wou

B.

You would conduct a pilot project that will enable vendors to demonstrate potential

off-the-shelf solutions that address the concerns of the stakeholders. Running a pilot

project will save time and money later in the process. Based on the findings of that

pilot project, a complete set of requirements can then be developed that will drive the

evolution of the architecture. Once the requirements are completed, a formal

C.

You would hold a series of interviews at each of the manufacturing plants using the

business scenarios technique. This will allow you to understand the systems and

integrations with local partners. You would use stakeholder analysis to identify key

players in the engagement, and to understand their concerns. You will then identify

and document the key high-level stakeholder requirements for the architecture. You

<
D.

You would develop baseline and target Architectures for each of the manufacturing

plants, ensuring that the views corresponding to selected viewpoints address key

concerns of the stakeholders. A business case, together with performance metrics

and measures should be defined to ensure the architecture meets the business

needs. A consolidated gap analysis between the architectures will then validate the

approach

Question 9

Please read this scenario prior to answering the question

You are working as the Chief Enterprise Architect within a law firm specializing in personal injury cases. Many of the firm's competitors have improved their litigation strategies, and efficiency by streamlining their processes using Artificial Intelligence {Al).

The CIO has approved a Request for Architecture Work to examine the use of Machine Learning in defining a new Al-driven litigation and finance process for the firm. This process would instruct the lawyers and analysts as to what tasks and portfolio they should work on. The key objectives are to increase task profitability, maximize staff utilization, and increase individual profitability.

The CIO has emphasized that the architecture should enable the fast implementation of continuous Machine Learning. The solution will need to be constantly measured for delivered value and be quickly iterated to success.

Some of the partners have expressed concerns about letting the Al make the decisions, others about the risks associated with use of it for the type of service they deliver. The CIO wants to know if these concerns can be addressed, and how risks will be covered by a new architecture enabling Al and Machine Learning.

Refer to the scenario

You have been asked to respond to the CIO recommending an approach that would enable the development of an architecture that addresses the concerns of the CIO and the concerns of the partners.

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

Options:

A.

You recommend that a Communications Plan be created to address the key stakeholders, the most powerful and influential partners. This plan should include a report that summarizes the key features of the architecture reflecting their requirements. You will check with each key stakeholder that their concerns are being addressed. Risk mitigation and agility will be explicitly addressed as a component of the architecture being developed.

B.

You recommend that an analysis of the stakeholders is undertaken resulting in documenting the stakeholders and their concerns in a Stakeholder Map. The concerns and relevant views should then be defined for each group and recorded in the Architecture Vision document. The requirements will include risk mitigation through regular assessments. This will also allow a supervised agile implementation of the continuous Machine Learning.

C.

You recommend that all possible models be created for each candidate architecture that will enable the Al and Machine Learning solution. This ensures that all the necessary data and detail is addressed. A formal review should be held with the stakeholders to verify that their concerns have been properly addressed by the models. Agility will be considered during Phase G Implementation Governance.

D.

You recommend creation of a set of business models that can be applied uniformly across all architecture projects. The stakeholders will be trained to understand the business models to ensure they can see that their concerns are being addressed. Risk will be addressed once the Security Architecture is developed, which will happen later to avoid slowing down the agility required by the CIO.

Question 10

Please read this scenario prior to answering the question

You are the Chief Enterprise Architect at a large food service company specializing in sales to trade and

wholesale, for example, restaurants and other food retailers.

One of your company's competitors has launched a revolutionary product range and is running a very

aggressive marketing campaign. Your company's resellers are successively announcing that they are not

interested in your company's products and will sell your competitor's.

The CEO has stated there must be significant change to address the situation. He has made it clear that

new markets must be found for the company's products, and that the business needs to pivot, and address the retail market as well as the existing wholesale market.

A consideration is the company's ability and willingness to change its business model, and if it is a temporary or permanent change. An additional risk factor is one of culture. The company has been used to a stable business with a reasonably well known and settled client base - all with its own local understandings and practices.

The CEO is the sponsor of the EA program within the company. You have been engaged with the sales,

logistics, production, and marketing teams, enabling the architecture activity to start. An Architecture Vision, Architecture Principles, and Requirements have all been agreed. As you move forward to develop a possible Target Architecture you have identified that some of the key stakeholders' preferences are incompatible. The incompatibilities are focused primarily on time-to-market, cost savings, and the need to bring out a fully featured product range, but there are additional factors.

Refer to the scenario

You have been asked how you will address the incompatibilities between key stakeholder preferences.

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

Options:

A.

You would seek to understand value preferences and priorities of the stakeholders. You would

develop alternative Target Architectures, highlighting the gaps between current state and the

alternatives. You would consider combining features from one or more alternatives in collaboration

with the stakeholders. A formal stakeholder review should then be held to decide which alternative is

fit for purpose and should be mo

B.

You recommend that since the CEO has stated that the company must pivot, it is better to

compromise on a full product range rather than time-to-market. You would develop just enough of the

Target Architecture to demonstrate fitness of the proposed approach. You would limit the description

to just where there is a gap between the current baseline. You would seek approval by the

stakeholders to move forward with develo

C.

You would use the Architecture Vision, Principles, and Requirements to define a set of criteria for

alternatives and create a set of architecture views to illustrate the impact of the alternative Target

Architectures. You would identify the impact on planned projects. You would understand the strengths

and weaknesses of the alternatives. You would conduct a formal stakeholder review to decide which

alternative to mov

D.

You would review the Stakeholder Map and ensure that you have addressed and represented the

concerns of all department heads. You will involve them in resolving the incompatibilities. The

Communications Plan should include a report that summarizes the key features of the architecture

with and how incompatibilities were resolved to reflects the stakeholders' requirements. You will

check with each key stakeholder they

Question 11

Please read this scenario prior to answering the question

You are the Lead Enterprise Architect at a major agribusiness company. The company's main

annual 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.

The CEO appreciates the seriousness of the situation and has set out a change in direction

that is effectively a new business for the company. There are opportunities for new products,

and new markets. The company will use the fields for another harvest and will cease to process

third-party lentils. Thus, the target market will change, and the end-products will be different

and more varied. This is a major decision and the CEO has stated a desire to repurpose rather

than replace so as to manage the risks and limit the costs.

The company has a mature Enterprise Architecture practice based in its headquarters and uses

the TOGAF standard as the method and guiding framework. The practice has an established

Architecture Capability, and uses iteration for architecture development. The CIO is the sponsor

of the activity.

The CIO has assigned the Enterprise Architecture team to this activity. At this stage there is no

shared vision, or requirements.

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?

Options:

A.

You propose that the team focus on architecture definition, 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. You would ensure that the

architecture development addresses non-functional requirements to assure that the

B.

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.

C.

You propose that the priority is to understand and bring structure to the definition of the

change. The team should focus iteration cycles on a baseline first approach to

architecture development, and then transition planning. This will identify what needs to

change in order to transition from the baseline to the target, and can be used to work out

in detail what the shared vision is for the change.

D.

You propose 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.
