Question # 16

Scenario

You are working as an Enterprise Architect within a large manufacturing company. The company has multiple divisions located worldwide.

After a recent study, senior management is concerned about the impact of the company’s multiple data centers and duplication of applications on business efficiency. To address this concern, a strategic architecture has been defined; it will help improve the ability to meet customer demand and improve the efficiency of operations. The strategic architecture involves the consolidation of multiple application programs that are currently used in different divisions and putting them all onto a cloud-based solution instead.

Each division has completed the Architecture Definition documentation to meet its own specific operational requirements. The enterprise architects have analyzed the corporate changes and implementation constraints. A consolidated gap analysis has been completed. Based on its results, the architects have reviewed the requirements, dependencies, and interoperability requirements needed to integrate the cloud-based solution. The architects have completed the Business Transformation Readiness Assessment. Based on all these factors, they have produced a risk assessment. They have also completed the draft Implementation and Migration Plan, the draft Architecture Roadmap, and the Capability Assessment deliverables.

Due to the risks of changing from the current environment, the decision has been taken that a gradual approach is needed to implement the target architecture. It will likely take a few years to complete the whole implementation process.

The company has a mature Enterprise Architecture (EA) practice and uses the TOGAF standard for its architecture development method. The EA practice is engaged throughout all the divisions, with implementation governance assigned to a business line. In addition to providing guidance on using architecture frameworks, including business planning, project/portfolio management, and operations management, the EA program is sponsored by the Chief Information Officer (CIO).

You have been asked to decide on the next steps for the migration planning.

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

Options:

A.

You update the Architecture Definition Document, which includes setting project objectives and documenting the final requirements.

Question # 17

Scenario

You are working as an Enterprise Architect within an Enterprise Architecture (EA) team at a large government agency. The agency has multiple divisions.

The agency has a well-established EA practice and follows the TOGAF standard as its method for architecture development. Along with the EA program, the agency also uses various management frameworks, including business planning, project/portfolio management, and operations management. The EA program is sponsored by the Chief Information Officer (CIO), who has actively promoted architecting with agility within the EA department as her preferred approach for projects.

The government has mandated that the agency prepare themselves for an Artificial Intelligence (AI)-first world, which they have called their “AI-first” plan. As a result, the agency is looking to determine the impact and role that AI will play moving forward. The CIO has approved a Request for Architecture Work to look at how AI can be used for services across the agency. She has noted that digital platforms will be a priority for investment in order to scale the AI applications planned. Using AI to automate tasks and make things run smoother is seen as a big advantage. Process automation and improved efficiency from manual, repetitive activities have been identified as the key benefits of applying generative AI to their agency’s business. This will include back-office automation, for example, for help center agents who receive hundreds of email inquiries. This should also improve services for citizens by making them more efficient and personalized, tailored to each individual’s needs.

Many of the agency leaders are worried about relying too much on AI. Some leaders think their employees will need to learn new skills. Some employees are worried they might lose their jobs to AI. Other leaders worry about security and cyber resilience in the digital platforms needed for AI to be successful.

The leader of the Enterprise Architecture team has asked for your suggestions on how to address the concerns, and how to manage the risks of a new architecture for the AI-first project.

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

Options:

A.

You recommend creating an Organization Map to display the links between different parts of the agency. This will help the EA team to find and involve all areas of the agency impacted by this strategic change. Multiple business models should then be created that can be applied to AI-related projects. A meeting will be held with the stakeholders to teach them how to interpret the models and see how their concerns are being addressed. Risk wil

B.

You recommend that the key stakeholders be formally identified. This should include those who will be most helpful for the change to be successful. A Communication Plan should be made to address their needs. This plan should include a report that summarizes the key features of the architecture based on stakeholder requirements and addressing concerns. You communicate with each key stakeholder to make sure their concerns are being addressed.

C.

You recommend conducting an analysis of the stakeholders. This involves documenting the positions, concerns, issues, and cultural factors of each group. This information will shape how the architecture is to be presented and communicated. The concerns and relevant views can then be defined for each group and recorded in the Architecture Vision document. The requirements for addressing risk should be recorded in the Architecture Requirements

D.

You recommend conducting an analysis that separates the different types of stakeholders into groups. They can be divided into categories: corporate functions, end-user organization, project team, external vendors, and external partners. A model will be developed for each stakeholder category to ensure that all the necessary information and actions are taken into account. Meetings will be arranged with stakeholders to verify that their conce

Question # 18

Please read this scenario prior to answering the question

Your role is that of a senior architect, reporting to the Chief Enterprise Architect, at a medium-sized company with 400 employees. The nature of the business is such that the data and the information stored on the company systems is their major asset and is highly confidential.

The company employees travel extensively for work and must communicate over public infrastructure using message encryption, VPNs, and other standard safeguards. The company has invested in cybersecurity awareness training for all its staff. However, it is recognized that even with good education as well as system security, there is a dependency on third-parly suppliers of infrastructure and software.

The company uses the TOGAF standard as the method and guiding framework for its Enterprise Architecture (EA) practice. The CTO is the sponsor of the activity.

The Chief Security Officer (CSO) has noted an increase in ransomware (malicious software used in ransom demands) attacks on companies with a similar profile. The CSO recognizes that no matter how much is spent on education, and support, it is likely just a matter of time before the company suffers a significant attack that could completely lock them out of their information assets.

A risk assessment has been done and the company has sought cyber insurance that includes ransomware coverage. The quotation for this insurance is hugely expensive. The CTO has recently read a survey that stated that one in four organizations paying ransoms were still unable to recover their data, while nearly as many were able to recover the data without paying a ransom. The CTO has concluded that taking out cyber insurance in case they need to pay a ransom is not an option.

You are working as an Enterprise Architect at a large supermarket. The company runs many retail

stores, as well as an online grocery shop. Many of the stores used to remain open 24/7, but the

number has decreased in recent years. Instead, they now focus on fulfilling online orders during

the night.

The company has a mature Enterprise Architecture (EA) practice and uses the TOGAF standard

for its architecture development method. The EA practice is involved in all aspects of the

business, with oversight provided by an Architecture Board with representatives from different

parts of the business. The EA program is sponsored by the Chief Information Officer (CIO).

Each store uses a standard method to track sales and inventory. This involves sending accurate

timely sales data to a central Al-based inventory management system that can predict demand,

adjust stock levels and automate reordering. The central inventory management system is housed

at the company's central data center.

The company has bought a major rival. The Chief Executive Officer believes that a merger will

enable growth through combined offerings and cost savings. The decision has been taken to fully

integrate the two organizations, including merging retail operations and systems. This means that

duplicated systems will be replaced with one standard retail management system. Also, the

company will reduce the number of applications that are used. The CIO expects significant

savings will be achieved by implementing these changes across the newly merged company.

One improvement that the rival has successfully implemented is the use of hand-held devices

within stores, for both customers and staff. This has increased both customer and staff employee

satisfaction due to the time savings this has brought. The CIO has given the go-ahead to roll out

the devices in all stores but has stated that training on how to use the hand-held devices should

be brief because there are a lot of employees, many of whom are part-time.

The Request for Architecture Work to oversee the merger has been approved. The project has

been scoped and you have been assigned to work on it. Your role includes managing the

architecture for the retail stores.

Refer to the scenario

You have been asked to confirm the most relevant architecture principles for the transformation.

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

Question # 20

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.
