Questions # 41:

Please read this scenario prior to answering the question

Your role is an Enterprise Architect for a chain of convenience stores. Many of the stores

remain open 24 hours a day. Each store has a standardized retail solution using cloud-

based point-of-sale (POS) technology to manage sales and inventory. The cloud-based

systems collect real-time data to support ordering and product selection decisions

including the tailoring of product assortment based on sales history, customer

demographics as well as the short-term weather forecast.

The company has acquired a smaller competitor, that has similar product lines and

operates in a different geographic region. The CEO believes that a merger will enable

growth through combined offerings and cost savings. This growth includes market share,

geographic expansion, as well as product diversification. The decision has been taken to

quickly integrate the two organizations, including merging retail operations and systems.

The merger will replace duplicated systems with the standardized cloud-based point-of-

sale technology. One innovation that the competitor has deployed is the use of hand-

held tablets within stores, together with a suite of store management applications, and

this is to be adopted across the whole of the merged organization. It has been observed

that this has increased employee satisfaction due to the time savings this has brought

compared to the previous fixed screens used for data entry.

The company has a mature Enterprise Architecture practice based on the TOGAF

Standard, with the CEO and CIO as joint sponsors. A project is underway to manage the

merger of the operations and systems.

The CIO anticipates significant cost savings will be made by moving to the standardized

retail solution across the merged organization. The CIO has also stated that the staff

training for the hand-held tablets should be kept to a minimum due to the large number

of employees, which include a large proportion of part-time employees.

Refer to the Scenario

[Note: You should assume that the company has adopted the example set of principles

that are listed and defined in the TOGAF standard, Architecture Principles chapter. You

may need to refer to the Architecture Principles chapter, section 20.6 (located in Part III)

Your role is that of an Enterprise Architect in a multinational automotive and clean

energy company. The company designs and manufactures electric vehicles, battery

storage, and solar panels. The company has multiple manufacturing facilities, in North

America, Europe, and in Asia. Most of the facilities are wholly owned by the company,

but two in Asia are jointly owned with local partners.

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.

A challenge that the company is facing is to scale up the number of vehicles coming

off the production lines to meet customer demand. At the moment there are supply

chain shortages for key custom-designed electronic components used in the vehicles.

In response to this, the research arm of the company has pioneered the development

of a revised design using 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.

As part of putting the new design 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 systems used to

perform final assembly and 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 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.

Questions # 44:

You are an Enterprise Architect working within a multinational company. The company has been very successful and has been buying companies around the world. It has led to a growing number of manufacturing divisions in various locations with a complex supply chain.

The top management recently expressed concerns about the company's effectiveness because of its multiple data centers and duplicate applications. The EA team has been working on a project to solve this issue. An analysis shows that supply chain issues have led to not enough products being produced to meet all the customer demand.

A strategic architecture has been defined to help meet customer demand and manage the supply chain more effectively. The strategic architecture involves combining different Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) applications that are currently used separately in the company's production sites.

Each division has finished the Architecture Definition documentation to address their own specific manufacturing needs. The enterprise architects have defined a set of work packages that address the gaps found. They have noted the value produced, work needed, and dependencies between work packages to achieve a target architecture for adding a new ERP environment into the company.

Because of the risks posed by this change from the current environment, the architects have recommended that a phased approach should be taken to implement the target architecture with several stages of change. The entire implementation process is estimated to take over two years.

The company has an established Enterprise Architecture (EA) practice and follows the TOGAF Architecture Development Method. The company also uses various management frameworks such as business planning, project/portfolio management, and operations management. The EA program is sponsored by the Chief Information Officer (CIO). In your role as an Enterprise Architect within the EA team, you work closely with the important stakeholders from the various divisions within the company.

You have been asked about the next steps in planning the migration.

Options:

A.

You put the Architecture Definition Document under configuration control. This will make sure that the architecture stays relevant and flexible to the needs of the enterprise. You would identify the needed resources to undertake the development projects. You would then produce an Implementation Governance Model to manage the lessons learned before finishing the plan. You suggest that the lessons learned be applied as changes to the architec

B.

You estimate the business value for each project by applying the Business Value Assessment Technique to prioritize the implementation projects and project steps. The assessment should focus on return on investment and criteria for evaluating performance to track the progress of the architecture transformation. You would confirm and plan a series of Transition Architecture phases using a table of Architecture Definition Increments that lists

C.

You conduct a series of Compliance Assessments to check that the architecture is being implemented as required by the contract. The Compliance Assessment needs to confirm that the implementation team is following the correct development process. This involves using monitoring tools and making sure that performance targets are being achieved. If the targets are not met, you would then need to make adjustments to the performance requirements

D.

You evaluate how the Implementation and Migration Plan affects the other frameworks currently in use within the organization. At a minimum, you make sure that the plan aligns with the business planning, project/portfolio management, and operations management frameworks. Next, you assign a value to each work package, taking into account the resources available and how they fit into the overall strategy. Using these work packages, you select

Questions # 45:

You are working as an Enterprise Architect. The company you work for creates and sells products targeted at the end-user market, which are sold through retail organizations worldwide.

The company is embarking on a Digital Transformation where it will expand its offerings from physical products to also include digital products and digital services. This includes enabling each of its product lines to offer digital products or services associated with their existing physical products.

The feedback from customers is that they do not find much value in these direct-to-consumer digital products. Analysis of the data on how the products are being used and who is using them shows that the products are not reaching the target audience that they were designed for, leading to a failure to meet the revenue goals. The product manager is seeking advice on how to tackle these problems, while making sure that the products still comply within the guardrails set by the EA team.

You are part of the Enterprise Architecture Team. The company uses Agile product management techniques and Agile development practices. The EA team works with the product management teams, supporting and enabling the Agile development teams.

You are working with the EA Team Leader to develop a plan for the overall Digital Transformation project. You have been asked to work on a specific product line, which is experimenting with new direct-to-consumer digital products using a third-party platform. The product development for this experiment took a Minimum Viable Architecture approach, including a shallow architecture development iteration with a focus on the Application Architecture, followed by a quick and minimal implementation.

The Enterprise Architecture practice at the company is sponsored by the Chief Technology Officer. The EA team has operated successfully for several years and has well-developed processes based on the TOGAF standard. The EA team’s responsibilities include architecting product development processes and customer experience.

The EA team leader wants to know how to gather information in order to respond to the product manager.

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.

Your role is that of a consultant to the Lead Enterprise Architect in a company that develops wind turbines for use in wind farms. The company has three manufacturing facilities, one in North America, one in Asia, and one in Europe. Each of these facilities supplies the power industry in its region.

The company recognizes that the long-term technical potential of wind energy can address the current global dependency on carbon fuels. In order to do so this will require wind turbines to be installed over large areas of higher wild resources. In particular, offshore wind farms can contribute substantially more energy than land stationed trubines.

The research arm of the company has pioneered the development of an offshore wind turbine design, with an improved turbine blade and power system that will produce up to 20% more energy. This will allow the production of significantly more saleable energy. This new design is ready to go into production.

The company has a mature Enterprise Architecture organization that is supported by a cross-functional Architecture Board and uses the TOGAF standard. The Chief Information Officer and the Chief Operating Officer co-sponsor the Enterprise Architecture program.

Recently, a pilot architecture project was completed at a single location that defined a standard approach for controlling the Automated Test System that is used at each plant to perform final quality assurance tests on each completed blade assembly.

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.

Questions # 50:

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.
