Please read this scenario prior to answering the question

Your role is that of Enterprise Architect for a chain of convenience stores. The chain

includes over five thousand retail outlets. Each store in the chain is an independently

owned and operated franchise. The stores operate 24 hours a day and 7 days a week.

Many of the stores have been with the franchise for more than 10 years and still use the

original IT systems deployed at that time.

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

uses the TOGAF standard as the method and guiding framework.

The CEO of the chain has stated concerns about the inefficiencies of the current

systems and identified the need to change. He has defined a strategic vision that will

enhance the business by providing its franchisees new services to help them compete

with other retail outlets and online retailers. This strategy is part of the long-term

commitment to enhance the brand image and increase revenue for the chain.

The Chief Architect engaged the services of a leading 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 chain, including detailed requirements

and recommendations. Based on the recommendations from the study, the decision has

been made for the chain to adopt a packaged suite of integrated applications that is

tailored to the needs of the franchise.

The changes will help provide the chain with improved products, and more efficient

operations. The stores will also act as delivery and return locations for a large online

retailer which will further increase the number of potential customers. The addition of a

corporate-wide data warehouse will provide analytics that will enable the marketing

group to improve its ability to target advertising and new products to specific regions.

Refer to the scenario

You have been asked by the Chief Architect to propose the best approach for

architecture development to realize the CEO's vision.

Based on the TOGAF Standard, Version 9.2, which of the following is the best

answer?

Options:

You recommend that the baseline architecture be developed first in order to

assess the current infrastructure capacity and capability. This is since the initial

priority is to understand the problem. Then the focus should be on transition

planning and architecture deployment. This will identify requirements to ensure

that the projects are sequenced in an optimal fashion so as to realize the vision

of the CEO.

You recommend that the architecture development define 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.

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. The target first approach 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.

You recommend that the focus be on the 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

Your role is that of an Enterprise Architect, reporting to the Chief Enterprise Architect, at a technology company. The company provides staff, as well as cloud-based services for many government agencies.

The company uses the TOGAF standard as the method and guiding framework for its Enterprise Architecture (EA) practice. The Chief Technology Officer (CTO) is the sponsor of the activity. The practice uses an iterative approach for its architecture development. This has enabled the decision-makers to gain valuable insights into the different aspects of the business.

The nature of the business is such that the data and the information stored on the company systems are the company’s major asset and are highly confidential. The company employees work remotely and need constant access to the company systems, which is done by the public infrastructure. They use message encryption, secure internet connections using Virtual Private Networks (VPNs), and other standard security measures. The company has provided computer security awareness training for all its staff.

The Chief Security Officer (CSO) has noted an increase in distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks on companies with a similar profile. The CSO understands that even with thorough preparation, a major attack could stop employees from being able to do their jobs. This could lead to a large financial loss, damage to the company’s reputation with customers, and employees being unable to work.

A risk assessment has been completed, and the company has looked for cyber insurance that covers such attacks. The price for this insurance is very high. The CTO has decided not to get cyber insurance to cover such attacks.

You have been asked to describe the steps you would take to strengthen the current architecture to improve data protection.

Options:

You would monitor for technology updates from your existing suppliers that could enhance the company’s capabilities to detect, react, and recover from an IT security incident. You would prepare and run a disaster recovery planning exercise for an attack and analyze the performance of the current Enterprise Architecture. Using the findings, you would prepare a gap analysis of the current Enterprise Architecture. You would prepare change requ

You would request an Architecture Compliance Review with the scope to examine the company’s ability to respond to such attacks. You would identify the departments involved and have them nominate representatives. You would then tailor checklists to address the requirement for increased resilience. You would circulate to the nominated representatives for them to complete. You would then review the completed checklists, identifying and resolvi

You would ensure that the company has in place up-to-date processes for managing change to the current Enterprise Architecture. Based on the scope of the concerns raised, you recommend that this be managed at the infrastructure level. Changes should be made to the baseline description of the Technology Architecture. The changes should be approved by the Architecture Board and implemented by change management techniques.

You would assess the business continuity requirements and analyze the current Enterprise Architecture for gaps. You would recommend changes to address the situation and create a change request. You would arrange a meeting of the Architecture Board to assess and approve the change request. Once approved, you would create a new Request for Architecture Work to begin an ADM cycle to implement the changes.

Your role is that of an Enterprise Architect for a firm that is a major OEM parts supplier to the auto

industry. Europe has been the primary market for its products, with just 20% of its output being

exported to North America. The firm is planning to expand its exports to North America and to

establish sales in other regions.

The Enterprise Architecture (EA) program within the firm has been functioning for several years. It

has made significant progress in consolidating the technology portfolio and establishing key

standards. The Chief Information Officer (CIO) and the Chief Operating Officer (COO) are joint

sponsors of the EA program. The EA program is mature, with an active Architecture Board and a

well-defined architecture process and standard content templates based on the TOGAF

Architecture Content Framework. The EA program is well coordinated with the Project Management

Office, Systems Development, and Operations functions.

The firm is organized into business units with each addressing different auto industry sectors. Each

business unit has acquired other producers to expand its manufacturing capacity. This has resulted

in a complex environment with a high diversity of business and manufacturing systems.

The firm has completed a strategic plan to reorganize its Sales and Marketing organization

according to the target geographic markets. One of the goals of this reorganization is to improve

the ability of Marketing to collect more meaningful market analytics that will enable each sector to

Scenario

Please read this scenario prior to answering the Question

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:

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.

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.

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.

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.
