They believe there is a cost saving opportunity within IT but this is not quantified in terms of potential savings nor is there an agreed target architecture. Final decisions on the solutions are not yet fully agreed. They have completed the first pass architecture and now are looking at the best opportunities and solutions to meet their financial goals.

You are the Chief Architect from a consulting organization brought into review the work to date by MightyGears and to make recommendations to the CIO and the board on the opportunities and solutions present.

Refer to the scenario above

Which of the following answers best describes how TOGAF recommends examining the opportunities and solutions before presenting to the board?

Choose one of the following answers

AI would examine the architecture work today ensuring it is complete and accurate and addressing any gaps. I would look at functional and integration requirements. I would then ensure all dependencies are understood and documented. I would then create the necessary artefacts including major work packages and transition architectures and the project charters for the recommended projects for presentation to the board.

BI would assess the architecture work today, create, and priorities projects to transition Widget Inc from the current architecture to target architecture. This will include a business value for each project, the resources required and the intended timing. I would then validate the prioritizations with the board particularly looking at cost benefits and risks. Lastly, I would generate the Architecture Implementation Roadmap and document lessons learned.

CI would assess the requirements of the organization particularly those requirements describing the functions required and information flows within the architecture. I would then look to produce artifacts that describe the recommended projects, the risk, issues and dependencies. This would also include transition architects to move us from current architecture to the recommended target architectures. I would present my recommendations to the board for agreement. Once this is done, I would update the architectures reflecting any changes resulting from the board discussion.

DI would look at the corporate culture and attitude to change, understand the constraints such as cost and the required time horizons. I would then look at the architecture work to ensure it is complete and seek to address any gaps. I would review the functional requirements and ensure there are complete interoperability requirements. I would then validate any dependencies and risks. Then formulate an implementation and migration strategy identifies major work packages and the transition architecture required. Finally, once agreement is reached with the board I will create project charters and re-factor any changes needed from the board discussion into the architecture.

Scenario

Please read this scenario prior to answering the question

You are serving as the Lead Architect for an enterprise architecture project team within a leading multinational pharmaceutical and medical devices manufacturer. Its brands include numerous household names for medications and first aid supplies.

The company has a long history of innovating new treatments for many common illnesses and diseases. Prior to launching a new treatment, the company has to demonstrate its effectiveness and safety in a set of clinical trials that satisfy the regulatory requirements of the countries in the target markets. All clinical trials are undertaken by its research laboratories, which employ over 10,000 people at separate facilities in the United Kingdom, United States, Sweden, France, Canada, India, China and Japan. In addition to internal research and development activities the company is also involved in publicly funded collaborative research projects, with other industrial and academic partners.

The Enterprise Architecture group within the company has been engaged in an architecture development project to create a secure networked collaboration system that will allow researchers at its product development laboratories worldwide to share information about their clinical trials. This system will also connect with external partners.

The Enterprise Architecture group is a mature organization. They use the TOGAF 9 ADM with extensions required to support current good manufacturing practices and good laboratory practices in their target markets. Due to the highly sensitive nature of the information that is managed, special care was taken to ensure that each architecture domain included an examination of the security and privacy issues that are relevant.

The Executive Vice President for Clinical Research is the sponsor of the Enterprise Architecture activity. She has stated that the changes to the enterprise architecture for the new system will need to be rolled out in stages on a regional basis that minimizes disruptions to ongoing clinical trials.

Refer to the Scenario

You have been asked to recommend the approach to identify the work packages that will be included in the Transition Architecture(s).

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

ADetermine the set of Solution Building Blocks required by identifying which Solution Building Blocks need to be developed and which need to be procured. Eliminate any duplicate building blocks. Group the remaining Solution Building Blocks together to create the work packages using a CRUD matrix. Rank the work packages in terms of cost and select the most cost-effective options for inclusion in a series of Transition Architectures. Schedule the roll out of the work packages to be sequential across the geographic regions.

BCreate an Implementation Factor Assessment and Deduction Matrix and a Consolidated Gaps, Solutions and Dependencies Matrix. For each gap, identify a proposed solution and classify it as new development, purchased solution, or based on an existing product. Group similar solutions together to form work packages. Identify dependencies between work packages factoring in the clinical trial schedules. Regroup the packages into a set of Capability Increments scheduled into a series of Transition Architectures.

CGroup the Solution Building Blocks from a Consolidated Gaps, Solutions and Dependencies Matrix into a set of work packages. Using the matrix as a planning tool, regroup the work packages to account for dependencies. Sequence the work packages into the Capability Increments needed to achieve the Target Architecture. Schedule the rollout one region at a time. Document the progression of the enterprise architecture using a state evolution table.

DUse a Consolidated Gaps, Solutions and Dependencies Matrix as a planning tool. For each gap classify whether the solution is either a new envelopment, purchased solution, or based on an existing product. Group the similar solutions together to define the work packages. Regroup the work packages into a set of Capability Increments to transition to the Target Architecture taking into account the schedule for clinical trials.

Scenario

Please read this scenario prior to answering the question

Your role is that of a consultant to the Lead Enterprise Architect in a company that develops photovoltaic technologies for use in large-scale solar power farms. The company has three manufacturing facilities, two in the United States, and one in Southern France. Each of these facilities supplies a different manufacturer that assembles and sells complete systems. The solar panels and photovoltaic arrays are custom engineered to meet each manufacturer's design specifications.

A challenge that the solar power industry has faced is the efficiency of energy conversion. When a conventional solar panel overheats, it becomes inefficient and generates less energy. In response to this, the research arm of the company has pioneered the development of a new solar panel design that will produce up to 50% more energy than standard solar panels when operating at elevated temperatures. This will allow the production of significantly more useable energy per square meter than from standard solar technology. This new design is ready to go into production.

The company has a mature Enterprise Architecture practice that is supported by a cross-functional Architecture Board. TOGAF 9 is used for developing the automated manufacturing process and systems used to design, manufacture and test the solar power technologies they produce. The Chief Information Officer and the Chief Operating Officer co-sponsor the Enterprise Architecture program.

As part of putting the new solar panel design into production, a pilot architecture project at a single location has defined an updated standard approach for controlling the automated test systems used to perform final 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 test system controller for each location. The Chief Engineer has expressed concern that a uniform process be employed at each location to ensure consistency and high yields.

Refer to the Scenario

The Lead Enterprise Architect has asked you to recommend the best approach to address the Chief Engineer's concern.

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

AYou review the applicable Architecture Contract for each location, ensuring that it addresses the project objectives, effectiveness metrics, acceptance criteria, and risk management. In cases where the contract is issued to an external party, you ensure that it is a legally enforceable contract.You schedule compliance reviews at key points in the implementation process to ensure that the work is proceeding in accordance with the Architecture Definition. You ensure that the Architecture Board reviews all deviations from the Architecture Contract, and considers whether or not to grant a dispensation to allow the implementation organization to customize the process to meet their local needs.

BYou create an Architecture Contract to manage and govern the implementation and migration process at each location. For internal development projects, you issue a memorandum of understanding between the Architecture Board and the implementation organization. For contracts issued to an external party, you ensure that it is a fully enforceable legal contract.You ensure that the Architecture Board reviews all deviations from the Architecture Contract, and considers whether or not to grant a dispensation to allow the implementation organization to customize the process to meet their local needs.

CYou create an Architecture Contract to manage and govern the implementation and migration process. If the contract is issued to an external party, you ensure that it is a fully enforceable legal contract. For internal development projects, you decide it is adequate to utilize a memorandum of understanding between the Architecture Board and the implementation organization.You recommend that if a deviation from the Architecture Contract is detected, the Architecture Board grant a dispensation to allow the implementation organization the ability to customize the process to meet their local needs.

DYou use the Architecture Contracts to manage the architecture governance processes for the project across the locations. You deploy monitoring tools to assess the performance of each completed solar panel assembly at each location and develop change requirements if necessary.You recommend that if a deviation from the contract is detected, the Architecture Board should modify the Architecture Contract to allow the implementation organization the ability to customize the process to meet their local needs. As a result, you then issue a new Request for Architecture Work to implement the modified Architecture Definition.

Question No. 4

Scenario

Please read this scenario prior to answering the question

Your role is that of the Lead Architect working for a government agency responsible for immigration, customs, and border control. The agency was formed by consolidating several smaller government agencies. The agency has established an Enterprise Architecture practice based on TOGAF 9. The CIO is the executive sponsor and has appointed an EA steering team to oversee the practice.

There has been a considerable increase in security requirements and immigration service requests in recent years, which have expanded the scope and size of the operations of the agency. As a result, the existing Information Technology architecture no longer meets the required service levels. A significant Enterprise Architecture (EA) initiative is in progress with the goal to improve customer responsiveness and satisfaction, and improve the overall operational efficiency of the agency.

The current EA staff members were internal appointments based on a request from the EA steering team to supply a number of suitable individuals for the EA effort. Collectively, they possess a broad range of IT and business analysis skills. However, the CIO has expressed concern about the diverse range of experience within the team. There is concern that the EA staff may be lacking in some of the critical skills that are required to properly conduct EA activities. It had been assumed that any EA-related skill gaps would be overcome by on-the-job mentoring from the senior members of the EA staff. Each architect was expected to attend a TOGAF training course and participate in other skill development activities.

A recent review of the EA program revealed that many EA staff members, despite attending multi-day training courses, were not proficient in analyzing or creating the models and artifacts required for their assigned architecture projects. Stakeholders have observed errors and inconsistencies in artifacts and deliverables being submitted for review.

Refer to the Scenario

The CIO has asked you to recommend a professional development plan for the EA staff in order to address the findings raised in the recent review.

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

AYou recommend that a comprehensive evaluation of key team leader skills be made using the TOGAF Architecture Skills Framework. Based on the evaluations, you will recommend the necessary staff changes. This will ensure that the team leaders have the necessary skills and experience for the architecture tasks within the agency. The role and skill categories defined in the TOGAF Architecture Skills Framework should then be shared with the department leaders so that in the future, they can make more informed choices when providing internal candidates for the EA team.

BYou recommend that an architecture maturity assessment should be conducted. This will identify the practices on which the agency should focus to see the greatest improvement and ensure that the basic enterprise architecture process is documented. As part of the assessment, all of the team leaders should be interviewed and their qualifications assessed. In order to rectify areas of low proficiency, they are expected to attend additional EA training courses. When the team leaders have achieved the desired levels of proficiency, they should apply a similar process for their staff members.

CYou recommend that you work with the EA steering team to adapt the TOGAF Architecture Skills Framework for use within the architecture practice at the agency. The categories of architecture roles, the required skills for each role and the desired level of proficiency for each role and skill will be defined by this framework. Each team member, or prospective team member, can then be evaluated for suitability against these roles and skills. Staffing and training adjustments can then be made as necessary to close gaps that are discovered.

DYou recommend that to address the issues identified in the review, the experienced team leaders should mentor the junior team members. At the same time additional training should be provided. Since it is now known that some models are improperly defined and may have caused cascading errors in other parts of the architecture, you recommend an iteration of the Migration Planning phase occur, so as to develop a coordinated transition to a new baseline using the last known good architecture. Once the artifacts are consistent and correct, these can be applied to this new baseline.

Question No. 5

Magic Wand Corporation manufactures a range of equipment used by magician worldwide. The global popularity of a series of children's books describing the formative years of a budding wizard and his various escapades at wizard school has driven unprecedented sales growth in the magical equipment market.

The current IT systems at Magic Wand are struggling to cope with the high volumes in this growth market. The CIO wants to persuade the board of Magic Wand Corporation to make a greater investment in the IT systems to cope with the new higher transaction volumes. On of the key components the CIOs wants to include when he approaches the board is a description of the current problems and how they may be addressed from an architectural point of view.

As the High Architect of Magic Wand Corporation, the CIO has delegated the task of creating a vision for the future Architecture to you.

Which of the following answers best describes how TOGAF recommends delivering an Architecture Vision for the CIO?

AFirstly, I ensure there is a Request for Architecture Work from the CIO. Then I ensure that there is recognition for the architecture vision project by following any project management and programmed management frameworks used within the organization. I would identify the key stakeholders and engage with them to understand and document their concerns and high-level requirements. This would result in a stakeholder map used to support other deliverables such as the Architecture Vision, a Communications plan and a Statement of Architecture Work. I would then identify the business goals and strategic drivers of the organization and define any enterprise or project specific constraints such as time and resources. I would then define the business capabilities of the organization needed to fulfill those business goals and drivers and their readiness for change. Once complete, I would define the scope, confirm the architecture and business principles and develop the Architecture Vision. Following this, I would define the business case for the architecture project, assess the business risks and produce a risk mitigation plan. I would then define a plan of enterprise architecture work to meet the scope in the desired time line and the resources required and secure the support of stakeholders.

BI would start by ensuring there is a Request for Architecture Work from the sponsor (the CIO). I would then create a project to define and deliver the architecture vision and the necessary outputs. The outputs include an approved Statement of Architecture Work, refined statements of Businesses Principles, Business Goals and Business Drivers, Architecture Principles, a Capability Assessment, a Tailored Architecture Framework, an Architecture vision, a Communications plan. The Statement of Architecture Work needs to be clear on the scope of architectural work, the resources needed to complete the work and amount of time it would take to complete the work assuming the scope of architectural work is agreed and that all the resources required are available. The final step would be to agree the Statement of Architectural Work with stakeholders confirming the scope, schedule and confirming the availability of the necessary resources.

CI would start by establishing the architecture project and follow the appropriate project management method. I would identify stakeholders their concerns and business requirements then confirm and elaborate the business goals, business drivers and constraints. I would then evaluate the business capabilities and readiness for business transformation and define the scope. I would then develop the architecture vision, define the target architecture value proposition, KPIs and identify and mitigate all risks associated with the transformation effort. Finally, I would develop an Enterprise Architecture Plan and Statement of Work and secure approval from the relevant stakeholders.

DI would approach this by defining and establishing the architecture team and governance. This would be followed by agreeing and establishing the architecture principles. I would select and customize an architecture framework changing any terminology and selecting the right phases and customizing the structure of content and outputs from the chosen method. Finally I would select and implement and architecture tools. The outputs from this work would include an Organization Model for Enterprise Architecture, a Tailored Architecture Framework including method and content, the Architecture Principles, an initial architecture repository, restatement or references to business principles, business goals and business driver, a request for architecture work and the governance framework.
