Question No. 1

Please read this scenario prior to answering the question

You are the Lead Enterprise Architect at a major agribusiness company. The company's main 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.

In response to the situation, the CEO has decided that the lentil fields will be used for another harvest. The company will also cease to process third-party lentils and will repurpose its processing plants. Thus, the target market will change, and the end-products will be different and more varied.

The company has recently established an Enterprise Architecture practice based on the TOGAF standard as method and guiding framework. The CIO is the sponsor of the activity. A formal request for architecture change has been approved. At this stage there is no fixed scope, shared vision, or objectives.

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?

AYou 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.

BYou propose that the team uses the architecture definition document and focus on architecture development starting simultaneously phases B, C and D. This is because the CEO has 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 change.

CYou propose that the team focus on architecture definition including development of business models, 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.

DYou propose that the priority is to produce a new Request for Architecture Work leading to development of a new Architecture Vision. The trade-off method should be applied to identify and select an architecture satisfying the stakeholders. For an efficient change the EA team should be aligned with the organization's planning, budgeting, operational, and change processes.

Show Answer

Correct Answer: D

A Request for Architecture Work is a document that describes the scope, approach, and expected outcomes of an architecture project. A Request for Architecture Work is usually initiated by the sponsor or client of the architecture work, and approved by the Architecture Board, which is a governance body that oversees the architecture work and ensures compliance with the architecture principles, standards, and goals.A Request for Architecture Work triggers a new cycle of the Architecture Development Method (ADM), which is the core process of the TOGAF standard that guides the development and management of the enterprise architecture12

An Architecture Vision is a high-level description of the desired outcomes and benefits of the proposed architecture. An Architecture Vision is the output of Phase A: Architecture Vision of the ADM cycle, which is the first phase of the architecture development. An Architecture Vision defines the scope and approach of the architecture work, and establishes the business goals and drivers that motivate the architecture work.An Architecture Vision also involves obtaining the approval and commitment of the sponsors and other key stakeholders, and initiating the Architecture Governance process3

A trade-off analysis is a technique that can be used to evaluate and compare different architecture alternatives and select the most suitable one. A trade-off analysis involves identifying the criteria and factors that are relevant to the decision, such as costs, benefits, risks, and opportunities, and assessing the strengths and weaknesses of each alternative. A trade-off analysis also involves balancing and reconciling the multiple, often conflicting, requirements and concerns of the stakeholders, and ensuring alignment with the Architecture Vision and the Architecture Principles.

Therefore, the best answer is D, because it proposes the best approach for architecture development to realize the CEO's change in direction for the company. The answer covers the Request for Architecture Work, the Architecture Vision, and the trade-off analysis techniques that are relevant to the scenario.

Complete the sentence A set of architecture principles that cover every situation perceived meets the recommended criteria of_______________

Aconsistency

Brobustness

Cstability

Dcompleteness

Show Answer

Correct Answer: D

A set of architecture principles that cover every situation perceived meets the recommended criteria of completeness. Completeness is one of the six criteria that should be applied when developing or assessing architecture principles. Completeness means that there are no gaps or overlaps in the coverage of principles across all relevant aspects of the enterprise's architecture. Reference: The TOGAF Standard | The Open Group Website, Section 3.3.7 Architecture Principles.

B1G-2E-3F-4F

C1E-2E-3F-4F

D1F-2E-3F-4G

Show Answer

Correct Answer: B

According to the TOGAF standard, the objectives of each ADM phase are as follows1:

* Phase E: Opportunities and Solutions

o Determine whether an incremental approach is required, and if so identify Transition Architectures that will deliver continuous business value

o Identify and group major work packages within the Architecture Roadmap

o Identify and group major implementation projects to realize the Architecture Roadmap

o Identify dependencies between increments and projects

o Estimate cost, benefit, and risk at a high level for each increment and project

o Conduct initial prioritization and sequencing of the Architecture Roadmap and projects

* Phase F: Migration Planning

o Generate the initial complete version of the Architecture Roadmap, based upon the gap analysis and candidate Architecture Roadmap components from Phases B, C, and D

o Confirm the Transition Architectures with relevant stakeholders

o Create the Implementation and Migration Plan, including Transition Architectures, work packages, projects, and other activities

o Confirm and agree the Architecture Roadmap and Implementation and Migration Plan with relevant stakeholders

* Phase G: Implementation Governance

o Finalize the Architecture Roadmap and the supporting Implementation and Migration Plan

o Ensure conformance with the Target Architecture by implementation projects

o Perform appropriate Architecture Governance functions for the solution and any implementation-driven architecture Change Requests

o Ensure that the architecture lifecycle is maintained

o Ensure that the Architecture Governance Framework is executed

* Phase H: Architecture Change Management

o Ensure that the business value and cost of work packages and Transition Architectures is understood by key stakeholders

o Manage risks and issues related to the Architecture Roadmap and Implementation and Migration Plan

o Monitor the implementation projects and Transition Architectures

o Manage changes to the architecture baseline

o Manage changes to the Architecture Capability

Therefore, the correct matching of the objectives and the phases is:

* 1G: Determine whether an incremental approach is required, and if so identify Transition Architectures that will deliver continuous business value

* 2E: Generate the initial complete version of the Architecture Roadmap, based upon the gap analysis and candidate Architecture Roadmap components from Phases B, C, and D

* 3F: Finalize the Architecture Roadmap and the supporting Implementation and Migration Plan

* 4F: Ensure that the business value and cost of work packages and Transition Architectures is understood by key stakeholders

Question No. 5

Please read this scenario prior to answering the question

You are the Chief Enterprise Architect at a large food service company specializing in sales to trade and

wholesale, for example, restaurants and other food retailers.

One of your company's competitors has launched a revolutionary product range and is running a very

aggressive marketing campaign. Your company's resellers are successively announcing that they are not

interested in your company's products and will sell your competitor's.

The CEO has stated there must be significant change to address the situation. He has made it clear that

new markets must be found for the company's products, and that the business needs to pivot, and address the retail market as well as the existing wholesale market.

A consideration is the company's ability and willingness to change its business model, and if it is a temporary or permanent change. An additional risk factor is one of culture. The company has been used to a stable business with a reasonably well known and settled client base - all with its own local understandings and practices.

The CEO is the sponsor of the EA program within the company. You have been engaged with the sales,

logistics, production, and marketing teams, enabling the architecture activity to start. An Architecture Vision, Architecture Principles, and Requirements have all been agreed. As you move forward to develop a possible Target Architecture you have identified that some of the key stakeholders' preferences are incompatible. The incompatibilities are focused primarily on time-to-market, cost savings, and the need to bring out a fully featured product range, but there are additional factors.

Refer to the scenario

You have been asked how you will address the incompatibilities between key stakeholder preferences.

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

AYou would seek to understand value preferences and priorities of the stakeholders. You would
develop alternative Target Architectures, highlighting the gaps between current state and the
alternatives. You would consider combining features from one or more alternatives in collaboration
with the stakeholders. A formal stakeholder review should then be held to decide which alternative is
fit for purpose and should be moved forward with. You will then secure the funding required.

BYou recommend that since the CEO has stated that the company must pivot, it is better to
compromise on a full product range rather than time-to-market. You would develop just enough of the
Target Architecture to demonstrate fitness of the proposed approach. You would limit the description
to just where there is a gap between the current baseline. You would seek approval by the
stakeholders to move forward with developing the Target Architecture in detail.

CYou would use the Architecture Vision, Principles, and Requirements to define a set of criteria for
alternatives and create a set of architecture views to illustrate the impact of the alternative Target
Architectures. You would identify the impact on planned projects. You would understand the strengths
and weaknesses of the alternatives. You would conduct a formal stakeholder review to decide which
alternative to move forward with. You will determine the funding required.

DYou would review the Stakeholder Map and ensure that you have addressed and represented the
concerns of all department heads. You will involve them in resolving the incompatibilities. The
Communications Plan should include a report that summarizes the key features of the architecture
with and how incompatibilities were resolved to reflects the stakeholders' requirements. You will
check with each key stakeholder they are satisfied with how the incompatibilities have been resolved.

Show Answer

Correct Answer: C

According to the TOGAF standard, the Target Architecture is the description of a future state of the architecture being developed for an organization. It should be aligned with the Architecture Vision, Principles, and Requirements that have been agreed with the stakeholders. To address the incompatibilities between key stakeholder preferences, the TOGAF standard recommends creating and evaluating multiple alternative Target Architectures that meet different sets of criteria. These criteria should reflect the value preferences and priorities of the stakeholders, as well as the business drivers and objectives. The alternative Target Architectures should be illustrated using a set of architecture views that show the impact of each alternative on the business, data, application, and technology domains. The impact on planned projects should also be identified and analyzed. The strengths and weaknesses of each alternative should be understood and documented. A formal stakeholder review should then be conducted to decide which alternative is the most fit for purpose and should be moved forward with. The funding required for implementing the chosen alternative should also be determined and secured.Reference:
