The Open Group TOGAF 9 Certified OG0-093 Question # 31 Topic 4 Discussion

OG0-093 Exam Topic 4 Question 31 Discussion:
Question #: 31
Topic #: 4

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?
A.

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.

B.

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.

C.

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.

D.

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

as to ensure the target
