• Question 288:

  Scenario

  Please read this scenario prior to answering the question

  Your role is consultant to the Lead Architect within a company that manufactures electromechanical

  devices. The company is organized as independent operational divisions.

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

  basis of its architecture framework. In addition to the EA program, the company has a number of

  management frameworks in use, including business planning, portfolio/project management, and

  operations management. The EA program is sponsored by the CIO.

  A strategic architecture has been approved that includes consolidation of multiple Enterprise Resource

  Planning (ERP) applications that have been operating in several of the divisions' production facilities. The

  goal is to replace the functionality of the existing applications with a new ERP product running as a single

  instance in the company's primary data center.

  Each division has completed the Architecture Definition documentation required to tailor and configure the

  environment to meet its own specific manufacturing requirements.

  The enterprise architects have analyzed the key corporate change attributes and implementation

  constraints. A consolidated gap analysis has been completed which has identified the gaps across the

  Business, Data, Application, and Technology domains.

  Using the results of the gap analysis, the architects have reviewed the requirements, dependencies and

  interoperability requirements needed to integrate the new ERP environment into the existing environment.

  The architects have completed the Business Transformation Readiness Assessment started in Phase A.

  Based on all of these factors they have produced a risk assessment.

  The implementation process is estimated to take four years. Because of the risks posed by the complexity

  of the current environment, a phased approach is needed to implement the target architectures. The

  Implementation and Migration Plan v0.1, the draft Architecture Roadmap, and the Capability Assessment

  deliverables are now complete.

  Refer to the Scenario.

  You have been asked to recommend the next steps to prepare the final Implementation and Migration

  Plan.

  Based on the TOGAF standard, Version 9.2, which of the following is the best answer?

  A. You would assess how the plan impacts the other frameworks in use in the organization. The plan should be coordinated with the business planning, portfolio/project management and operations management frameworks. You would then assign a business value to each project, considering available resources and priorities for the projects. Finally, you would generate the Implementation and Migration Plan.

  B. You would apply the Business Value Assessment Technique to prioritize the implementation projects and project increments. The assessment should focus on return on investment and performance evaluation criteria that can be used to monitor the progress of the architecture transformation. You would confirm the Transition Architecture phases using an Architecture Definition Increments Table to list the projects. You would then document the lessons learned and generate the final plan.

  C. You would place the strategic Architecture Definition and Transition Architectures under configuration control as part of the ongoing architecture development cycle. This will ensure that the architecture remains relevant and responsive to the needs of the enterprise. You would then produce an Implementation Governance Model to manage the lessons learned prior to finalizing the plan. You recommend that lessons learned be accepted by the Architecture Board as changes to the architecture without review.

  D. You would conduct a series of Compliance Assessments to ensure that the implementation team is implementing the architecture according to the contract. The Compliance Assessment should verify that the implementation team is using the proper development methodology. It should include deployment of monitoring tools and ensure that performance targets are being met. If they are not met, then changes to performance requirements should be identified and updated in the Implementation and Migration Plan.

  Correct Answer: A

• Question 289:

  Scenario Please read this scenario prior to answering the question You are serving as the Lead Enterprise Architect for a chain of convenience stores. The stores operate 24 hours a day and 7 days a week and use cloud-based point-of-sale (POS) technology to manage their sales and inventory. Cloud- based POS systems store all user data, including sales and inventory in a remote server. 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 next day's weather forecast. In many cases, several stores are located in neighboring areas. This strategy makes distribution to each store cheaper, as well as making multiple deliveries per day possible. The stores also act as self-service delivery locations for a large online retailer which further increases the number of potential customers entering the stores.

  An Enterprise Architecture practice exists within the company, with the CEO and CIO as joint sponsors. They have decided to adopt the TOGAF standard within the practice and the first project is to restructure the Enterprise Architecture so that it can better support the existing environment and accommodate future changes of strategy within the company.

  The CIO has stated that the following issues also need to be addressed in the restructuring:

  1.

  They need to address problems with data quality and inconsistent data in order to support better decision making and analysis.

  2.

  The architecture should focus on the needs of the business, not technology

  3.

  To remain competitive, new products and promotions must undergo market trials before deployment across the retail chain. Information systems must be able to manage changes and updates without undue delays.

  Refer to the Scenario. [Note: You should assume that the company has adopted the example set of principles that are listed and defined in TOGAF standard, Architecture Principles chapter. You may need to refer to the Architecture Principles chapter, section 20.6 (located in Part III) within the reference text in order to answer this question.]

  You have been asked to identify the most relevant architecture principles for the current situation.

  Based on the TOGAF standard, Version 9.2, which of the following is the best answer? [Note: The ordering of the principles listed in each answer is not significant.]

  A. Requirements Based Change, Responsive Change Management, Data Trustee, Common Vocabulary and Data Definitions, Business Continuity

  B. IT Responsibility, Data Security, Ease of Use, Service Orientation, Common Use Applications

  C. Maximize Benefit to the Enterprise, Data Trustee, Data is an Asset, Responsive Change Management, Interoperability

  D. Data is Accessible, Data is Shared, Interoperability, Requirements Based Change, Control Technical Diversity

  Correct Answer: C

• Question 290:

  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 specializes in luxury electric cars and their powertrain components, and also produces battery-charging equipment. It has its own distribution network, its own showrooms, and sells directly to customers via the Internet. The company has four manufacturing facilities, two in the North America, one in Europe, and one in Asia.

  A challenge that the company is facing to scale up the number of vehicles coming off the production line to meet customer demand, while maintaining quality. At the moment there are supply chain storages for key electronic components related to the autonomous drive system. In response to this, the research arm of the company has pioneered the development of a new self-driving platform. This new design uses 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.

  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.

  As part of putting the new self-driving platform 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 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 quality.

  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 the TOGAF standard, Version 9.2, which of the following is the best answer?

  A. You 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.

  B. You 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 drive 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.

  C. You 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.

  D. You 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.
