Question 1
- An international Insurance company has grown with little consideration for rationalization and consolidation.
  There is no coordination between business unit and every one have managed its own applications. The CIO
  decided to establish an Enterprise Architecture program within the enterprise to enable the company to expand
  to other markets in the next two years. The company has not any Enterprise Architecture Capability in place
  and the he CIO has set up an Architecture Board and called its first meeting.
  Refer to the scenario above
  As Lead Architect you will establish a TOGAF 9 Enterprise Architecture program. Identify the best way to do
  this among the answers below.
  Choose one of the following answers
  
  A : You tailor TOGAF 9 with the help of the Architecture Board to integrate it with the legacy procedures established by the PMO. You also examine the relationship of TOGAF with other processes and frameworks for governance, systems development and operations management. You then define the footprint of the enterprise architecture
  
  B : As Lead Architect you create a Request for Architecture Work to allocate resources to work on the Architecture Vision. Based on the outcome of the Business Scenario technique you apply, you create the Common Systems Architecture to guide the choice of Solutions Building Blocks. These will be then used for integrating the systems across business units
  
  C : You clarify the agreement on key business drivers and the scope of the enterprise architecture. You then clarify the requirements for architecture work. You define the architecture principles together with the help of the Architecture Board in order to lead the architecture work. You consider how to tailor TOGAF 9 for this enterprise
  
  D : You conduct an Architecture Maturity Assessment. You then use the TOGAF ADM to state the requirements for the integration of a new company information management system into the organization. You then list a set of business goals together with the Architecture Board that will be a reference to the enterprise architecture program
  
  Answer: C
Question 2
- Scenario
  Please read this scenario prior to answering the question
  You are serving as the Lead Architect for an insurance company, which has been formed through the merger
  of three previously independent companies. The company now consists of three divisions with the same
  names and division headquarters as their predecessors.
  The lack of integration between the three divisions has increasingly caused problems in the handling of
  customer and financial information. The inability to share information has resulted in lost opportunities to
  "leverage the synergies" that had been intended when the company was formed. At present, each division
  maintains its own applications. Despite an earlier initiative to install a common application to manage customer,
  products, and claims information, each division has different ways of defining these core elements and has
  customized the common application to the point where the ability to exchange information is difficult, costly,
  and error-prone.
  As a result, the company has made the decision to introduce a common web portal, contact center software
  suite, and document management system. Also the company has selected a single enterprise-wide customer
  relationship management (CRM) application to consolidate information from several applications that exist
  across the divisions. The application will be used by each of the divisions and accessed by third party partners
  through well defined interfaces.
  The Corporate Board is concerned that the new application must be able to manage and safeguard confidential
  customer information in a secure manner that meets or exceeds the legal requirements of the countries in
  which the company operates. This will be an increasingly important capability as the company expands its
  online services in cooperation with its partners.
  The CIO has formed an Enterprise Architecture department, and one of the primary goals in its charter is to
  coordinate efforts between the implementation team and the migration teams in each division. The CIO has
  also formed a cross-functional Architecture Board to oversee and govern the architecture. The company has
  an existing team of security architects.
  TOGAF 9 has been selected as the core framework for use for the Enterprise Architecture program. The CIO
  has endorsed this choice with the full support of top management.
  Refer to the Scenario
  In the Preliminary Phase you need to define suitable policies and ensure that the company has the appropriate
  capability to address the concerns of the Corporate Board.
  Based on TOGAF, which of the following is the best answer?
  
  A : You evaluate the implications of the concerns raised by the Corporate Board in terms of regulatory requirements and their impact on business goals and objectives. Based on this understanding, you then issue a Request for Architecture Work to commence an architecture development project to develop a solution that will address the concerns. You allocate a security architect to oversee the implementation of the new application that is being developed
  
  B : You start by clarifying the intent that the Board has for raising these concerns. This enables you to understand the implications of the concerns in terms of regulatory requirements and the potential impact on current business goals and objectives. You propose that a security architect or security architecture team be allocated to develop a comprehensive security architecture and that this be considered an additional domain architecture
  
  C : You evaluate the implications of the Board's concerns by examining the security and regulatory impacts on business goals, business drivers and objectives. Based on your understanding, you then update the current security policy to include an emphasis on the concerns. You define architecture principles to form constraints on the architecture work to be undertaken in the project. You then allocate a security architect to ensure that security considerations are included in the architecture planning for all domains.
  
  D : You identify and document the security and regulatory requirements for the application and the data being collected. You ensure that written policies are put in place to address the requirements, and that they are communicated across the organization, together with appropriate training for key employees. You identify constraints on the architecture and communicate those to the architecture team. You establish an agreement with the security architects defining their role within the ongoing architecture project
  
  Answer: D
Question 3
- Scenario: Glacier Ridge LLC
  Please read this scenario prior to answering the question
  Glacier Ridge LLC is a vacation property management firm that is growing through acquisition. It manages over
  200 resort properties across North America. Many of the resort properties use the same internal IT systems
  that they used before they were acquired. Until recently, the only requirement that has been placed en each
  property is that they use a standard financial reporting system to report their financials ID the headquarters on
  a weekly basis. The CEO has stated his concerns about the inefficiencies of the current approach and
  identified the need to change. He has defined a new strategic vision that will enhance the Glacier Ridge
  property business by standardizing its operations across the network to provide consolidated financial, human
  resources, logistics, sales and marketing, and yield management. He has also stated that he expects results by
  the end of the current fiscal year. These changes will provide the company with improved utilization of its
  capacity and more efficient operations. The addition of a corporate-wide data warehouse will provide analytics
  that will enable the marketing group to improve its ability to target advertising into key markets to improve
  yields. Glacier Ridge has mature enterprise architecture (EA) practice and uses TOGAF 9 as the method and
  guiding framework.
  The CIO is the sponsor of the activity. In planning this change, the Chief Architect engaged the services of a
  well-known 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 firm, including detailed requirements and recommendations.
  Based on the recommendations from the initial engagement, Glacier Ridge has embraced an Architecture
  Vision to adopt an enterprise application that is tailored to the needs of the hospitality industry.
  Refer to the Glacier Ridge scenario
  Your role is that of Chief Architect. You have been asked to recommend the best approach to take in this
  architecture engagement to realize the CEO's vision. Based on TOGAF 9, which of the following is the best
  answer?
  
  A : Since the initial engagement has identified the need to change, you recommend that the team focus on defining the target architecture by going through the architecture definition phases (B-D). This will ensure that the change can be defined in a structured manner and address the requirements needed to realize the vision.
  
  B : Since the vision is well understood and the strategic architecture agreed, you recommend that the target architecture is defined first, followed by transition planning. This will ensure that the current inefficiencies of the baseline architecture are not carried forward, and that the proposed solution addresses the requirements identified in the initial architecture engagement.
  
  C : You recommend that this engagement define the Technology Architecture first in order to assess the current infrastructure capacity and capability. 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
  
  D : You recommend that the team focus on 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 help forecast future impacts.
  
  Answer: D
Question 4
- Scenario
  Please read this scenario prior to answering the question
  Your role is that of Lead Enterprise Architect working at the headquarters of a fast food chain. The chain
  manages over 7500 restaurants across 33 countries. Each restaurant in the chain is an independently owned
  and operated franchise.
  Many of the restaurants still use the first generation IT systems deployed over 10 years ago. The Chief
  Operating Officer (COO) of the chain has stated his concerns about the inefficiencies of the current systems
  and identified the need to change. He has defined a new strategic vision that will enhance the business
  including providing its franchisees new support services to help them address the increasing competition from
  coffee shops. This is part of the long-term commitment to enhance the brand image and increase revenue for
  the chain. He has also stated that he expects improved financial results by the end of the current fiscal year.
  The changes will help provide the chain with improved products, including healthier alternatives in the menu,
  and more efficient operations. 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.
  The chain has a mature Enterprise Architecture practice based in its headquarters and uses the TOGAF
  standard as the method and guiding framework. The CIO is the sponsor of the activity.
  In planning the change, the Chief Architect engaged the services of a well-known consulting firm that
  specializes in business strategy. An initial study has been conducted to identify the strategic changes needed
  to implement the COO’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 initial study, the decision has been taken for the chain to adopt a
  packaged suite of integrated applications that is tailored to the needs of the franchise.
  Refer to the scenario
  You have been asked by the Chief Architect to propose the best approach for architecture development to
  realize the COO’s vision.
  Based on the TOGAF standard, which of the following is the best answer?
  
  A : You propose that the focus be placed on architecture definition, with emphasis on understanding the strategic change parameters. The requirements, drivers, issues, and constraint for this engagement can then be identified. You would ensure that the target architecture addresses non-functional requirements so as to ensure the target architecture is robust and secure
  
  B : You propose that the target architecture is defined first 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 propose that the baseline Technology Architecture is defined first in order to assess the current infrastructure capacity and capability. 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
  
  D : You propose 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
  
  Answer: D
Question 5
- Scenario:
  Please read this scenario prior to answering the Question
  You are serving as the Lead Enterprise Architect at a major supplier in the automotive industry. The company
  is headquartered in Cleveland, Ohio with manufacturing plants across the United States, Brazil, Germany,
  Japan and South Korea. Each of these plants has been operating its own planning and production scheduling
  systems, as well as custom developed applications that drive the automated production equipment at each
  plant.
  The company is implementing lean manufacturing principles to minimize waste and improve the efficiency of all
  of its production operations. During a recent exercise held for internal quality improvement, it was determined
  that a significant reduction in process waste could be achieved by replacing the current planning and
  scheduling systems with a common Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system located in the Cleveland data
  center. This central system would provide support to each of the plants replacing the functionality in the
  existing systems. It would also eliminate the need for full data centers at each of the plant facilities. A reduced
  number of IT staff could support the remaining applications. In some cases, a third-party contractor could
  provide those staff.
  The Enterprise Architecture department has been operating for several years and has mature, well-developed
  architecture governance and development processes that are strongly based on TOGAF 9
  At a recent meeting, the Architecture Board approved a Request for Architecture Work sponsored by the Chief
  Engineer of Global Manufacturing Operations. The request covered the initial architectural investigations and
  the development of a comprehensive architecture to plan the transformation.
  The Common ERP Deployment architecture project team has now been formed, and the project team has
  been asked to develop an Architecture Vision that will achieve the desired outcomes and benefits. Some of the
  plant managers have expressed concern about the security and reliability of diving their planning and
  production scheduling from a remote centralized system. The Chief Engineer wants to know how these
  concerns can be addressed.
  Refer to the Scenario
  During the initial meeting of the Common ERP Deployment architecture project team, a number of alternative
  recommendations for how to proceed are put forward by members of the team.
  You have been asked to select the most appropriate recommendation to ensure that the team evaluates
  different approaches to the problem and clarifies the requirements for the architecture.
  Based on TOGAF 9, which of the following is the best answer?
  
  A : The team should develop Baseline and Target Architectures for each of the manufacturing plants, ensuring that the views corresponding to selected viewpoints address key concerns of the stakeholders. A consolidated gap analysis between the architectures will then be used to validate the approach, and determine the capability increments needed to achieve the target state
  
  B : The team should exercise due diligence and carefully research vendor literature and conduct a series of briefings with vendors that are on the current approved supplier list. Based on the findings from the research, the team should define a preliminary Architecture Vision. The team should then use that model to build consensus among the key stakeholders
  
  C : The team should use stakeholder analysis to understand who has concerns about the initiative. The team should then hold a series of interviews at each of the manufacturing plants using the business scenario technique. This will then enable them to identify and document the key high-level stakeholder requirements for the architecture
  
  D : The team should conduct a pilot project that will enable vendors on the short list to demonstrate potential solutions that will address the concerns of the stakeholders. Based on the findings of that pilot project, a complete set of retirements will be developed that will drive the evolution of the architecture
