Scenario:

Please read this scenario prior to answering the Question

Your role is that of Lead Enterprise Architect within a vacation property management firm that has been growing through acquisition. The firm 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 on each property is that they use a standard financial reporting system to report their financial results to 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 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.

The firm has a mature enterprise architecture 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 study, the firm has taken the decision to adopt a packaged suite of integrated applications that is tailored to the needs of the hospitality industry.

Scenario

Please read this scenario prior to answering the Question

You are serving as the Lead Architect for the enterprise architecture team at a multinational company. The company has grown rapidly by acquisition and has inherited numerous supply chain processes and related IT systems. Several supply chain processes have had problems related to the timing of purchases, which has led to excess inventory. The Vice President in charge of Supply Chain Management has made the decision to consolidate and reduce redundant processes and systems. The company will move to a " Just-in-time " supply chain management system so as to keep inventory costs low.

The TOGAF standard is used for internal Enterprise Architecture activities. This project is using an iterative approach for executing the Architecture Development Method (ADM).

At present, there are no particularly useful architectural assets in the Architecture Repository related to this initiative. All assets will need to be acquired, customized, or created.The company prefers to implement commercial off the shelf package applications with little customization. The CIO, who is the project sponsor, has stated that she is not concerned about preserving the existing supply chain management processes or systems.

The architecture development project has completed Phase A and has started a number of iteration cycles to develop the Architecture. As a packaged application is being considered, the next iteration will include both the Business, Application and Data Architectures. Key stakeholder concerns that should be addressed by these architectures include:

1. What groups of people should be involved in supply chain management-related business processes?

2. What non-supply chain management applications will need to be integrated with the new supply chain management applications?

3. What data will need to be shared?

Refer to the Scenario

[Note: You may need to refer to Chapter 35 of the reference text in order to answer this question.] You have been asked to identify the most appropriate catalogs, matrices, and diagrams to support the next iteration of Architecture development.

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

In which phase of the ADM cycle do building blocks become implementation-specific?

Scenario:

Please read this scenario prior to answering the Question

You have been assigned the role of Chief Enterprise Architect within a leading North American information technology services company. The company has a number of service portfolios including infrastructure, applications, business process outsourcing, accounting, and financial services.

With numerous practice areas and a multitude of diverse engagements underway at any given time, overall engagement management within the company has become challenging. The company does not want to risk its outstanding reputation or its international certifications and CMM ratings.

The Chief Executive Officer and Chief Information Officer have co-sponsored the creation of an Enterprise Architecture prog-am based on TOGAF 9. An Architecture Board has been formed comprised of IT staff executives and executives from the major practice areas.

The Enterprise Architecture team has been working with the Strategic Planning team to create a strategic enterprise architecture to address these issues. The team has defined a framework and held workshops with key stakeholders to define a set of architecture principles to govern the architecture work. They have completed an Architecture Vision at a strategic level and laid out Architecture Definitions for the four domains. They have set out an ambitious vision of the future of the company over a five-year period. This includes a solution architecture including three distinct transformations.

The CIO has made it clear that prior to the approval of the detailed Implementation and Migration plan, the EA team will need to assess the risks associated with the proposed architecture. He has received concerns from some of the senior partners that the proposed architecture may be too ambitious and they are not sure it can produce sufficient value to warrant the attendant risks.

Refer to the Scenario

You have been asked to recommend an approach to satisfy these concerns.

Based on TOGAF 9, which of the following is the best answer?

Scenario:

Please read this scenario prior to answering the question

The ABC company specializes in the development of wind turbine blades for use in large-scale commercial wind energy production systems. The company has manufacturing facilities located in Palm Springs, California, Omaha, Nebraska, and Winnipeg, Manitoba. Each of these plants supplies a different manufacturer that builds and sells complete systems. The turbine blades are custom engineered to meet each manufacturer ' s design specifications.

Until recently, most turbine blades were fabricated manually using molded fiber-reinforced plastics. However, recent improvements in composite materials, coupled with enhanced automated methods for precision application of materials during the molding process, have led to significant reduction in weight, increase in strength, and greatly improved blade longevity. The company has pioneered the development of a proprietary automated process for continuous extrusion of the turbine blades. Patents have been filed to protect the process, but certain trade secrets must be closely guarded.

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

The company has used T0GAF and its Architecture Development Method (ADM) to develop its automated manufacturing processes and systems that are used to design, manufacture, and test the blade assemblies. They have adapted their Enterprise Architecture to closely follow the TOGAF 9 framework. All of the company ' s enterprise architects have been trained and certified on TOGAF 9. Recently, an architecture project was completed 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. The Manufacturing Architecture Board approved the plan for immediate implementation at each plant.

An Architecture Contract was developed that detailed the work needed to implement and deploy the new Automated Test System controller. The Chief Engineer, sponsor of the activity, has expressed concern that a uniform process be employed at each site to ensure consistency.

Refer to the Scenario

You are the Lead Architect for this activity.

You have been asked to recommend the best approach to adopt to address the Chief Engineer ' s concern.

Based on TOGAF 9, which of the following is the best answer?

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.

You are working as an Enterprise Architect at a large company. The company runs many retail stores, as well as an online marketplace. The online marketplace allows hundreds of brands to partner with the company.

The company has a mature Enterprise Architecture (EA) practice and uses the TOGAF standard for its architecture development method. The EA practice is involved in all aspects of the business, with oversight provided by an Architecture Board with representatives from different parts of the business. The EA program is sponsored by the Chief Information Officer (CIO).

Many of the stores remain open all day and night. Each store uses a standard method to track sales and inventory. This involves sending accurate, timely sales data to a central AI-based inventory management system that can predict demand, adjust stock levels, and automate reordering. The central inventory management system is housed at the company ' s central data center.

The company has bought a major rival. The Chief Executive Officer believes that a merger will enable growth through combined offerings and cost savings. The decision has been taken to fully integrate the two organizations, including merging retail operations and systems. This means that duplicated systems will be replaced with one standard retail management system. Also, the company will reduce the number of applications that are used. The CIO expects significant savings will be achieved by implementing these changes across the newly merged company.

One improvement that the rival has successfully implemented is the use of hand-held devices within stores, for both customers and staff. This has increased both customer and staff employee satisfaction due to the time savings this has brought. The CIO has given the go-ahead to roll out the devices in all stores but has stated that training on how to use the hand-held devices should be brief because there are a lot of employees, many of whom are part-time.

The Request for Architecture Work to oversee the merger has been approved. The project has been scoped and you have been assigned to work on it. Your role includes managing the architecture for the retail stores.

Refer to the scenario:

You have been asked to confirm the most relevant architecture principles for the transformation.
