Question 1

Scenario:

You are working as an Enterprise Architect within a company providing legal services. The company operates in many countries and has a complicated structure. Every office must follow the local regulations in their country.

The company’s Enterprise Architecture (EA) department has been operating for several years and has mature, well-developed architecture governance and development processes based on the TOGAF standard. In addition to the EA program, the company has several management frameworks, including business planning, project/portfolio management, and operations management. The Architecture Board includes representatives from all parts of the company.

The Chief Information Officer (CIO) is the sponsor of the Enterprise Architecture program. The CIO has actively encouraged architecting with agility within the EA department as the preferred approach for projects. The CIO has given approval for a Request for Architecture Work to explore the adoption of an AI-powered system for managing legal cases and financial processes.

Senior management has become more concerned about business performance, especially with the advancements in Artificial Intelligence (AI). Many of the company’s competitors have started using AI to assist with legal strategies, streamline processes, and boost productivity. One of the most important benefits AI has for the business is its ability to increase accuracy and minimize mistakes.

Some of the top managers are worried about a change in the way of working, and if it will achieve the business goals. Their staff also fear that management will use the AI system to measure their performance. The CIO wants to know how to address these concerns and reduce risks.

The new system is expected to guide legal professionals and analysts on which tasks to focus on. The main goals are to improve productivity and make better use of staff. In addition, the CIO hopes these changes will lead to higher customer satisfaction.

Refer to the scenario:

You have been asked to respond to the Chief Information Officer (CIO) recommending an approach that would enable the development of an architecture that addresses the concerns of the top managers and the multiple branches in different parts of the company.

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

Options:

A.

You recommend that models be created for each of the Business, Application, and Technology architectures. These can be used to ensure that the system will be compliant with the local regulations for each operating entity. This ensures that all necessary data and detail is addressed. A formal review should be held with the stakeholders to verify that their concerns have been properly addressed by the models.

B.

You recommend that an analysis of the stakeholders is undertaken. This will allow the architects to define groups of partners (the stakeholders) who have common concerns and include development of a Stakeholder Map. The concerns and relevant views should then be defined for each group and recorded in the Architecture Vision document. To reduce risk, you include a requirement that there be progressive development of the target architecture t

C.

You recommend creation of a set of business models that can be applied uniformly across all AI-related architecture projects. These should be developed in a portable format to ensure maximum portability across the many tools used in the firm. Each architecture should then be defined based on this fixed set of models. All concerned stakeholders can then examine the models to ensure that their needs have been addressed.

D.

You recommend that a Communications Plan be created to address the key stakeholders, particularly influential partners. This plan should include a report summarizing the key features of the architecture with respect to each location and reflect the stakeholders’ requirements. You will check with each key stakeholder that their concerns have been addressed. Risk mitigation should be explicitly addressed as a component of the architecture bei

Question 2

You are working as an Enterprise Architect within an Enterprise Architecture (EA) team at a multinational energy company. The company is committed to becoming a net-zero emissions energy business by 2050. To achieve this, the company is focusing on shifting to renewable energy production and adopting eco-friendly practices.

The EA team, which reports to the Chief Technical Officer (CTO), has been tasked with overseeing the transformation to make the company more effective through acquisitions. The company plans to fully integrate these acquisitions, including merging operations and systems.

To address the integration challenges, the EA team leader wants to know how to manage risks and ensure that the company succeeds with the proposed changes. Based on the TOGAF Standard, which of the following is the best answer?

Options:

A.

The EA team should create a Business Scenario to fully describe the business problem that is being addressed by the transformation. Once requirements are identified, they should be evaluated in terms of risks. Any residual risks should be escalated to the Architecture Board.

B.

The EA team should develop Business Architecture views that demonstrate how stakeholder concerns are addressed and assess each factor for readiness, urgency, and degree of difficulty.

C.

The EA team should evaluate the company’s readiness for change by identifying factors that will impact the transformation. These factors will be used to determine initial risks associated with the initiative.

D.

The EA team should document the risks associated with the transformation in an Implementation Factor Catalog to inform decisions during implementation and deployment.

Question 3

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?

Options:

A.

You 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 mo

B.

You 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 develo

C.

You 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 mov

D.

You 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

Question 4

Scenario

You are working as an Enterprise Architect within an Enterprise Architecture (EA) team at a global company that sells consumer products. The company produces many products that buyers use and enjoy.

The company has announced a major change to its products that will occur over a four-year period. This change includes the introduction of digital products and services. An architecture to support this strategy has been finished, along with a roadmap for a set of projects to implement this significant change. This will be a cross-functional effort between the product design and software teams. It is planned to be developed in phases.

The company faces a challenge in presenting and providing access to different services through its products and digital platforms while ensuring compliance with data privacy laws. In some countries and regions, the data residency requirements mean that the company has to store certain data within the region where it is collected. As a result, the company’s application portfolio and infrastructure must connect with various cloud services and data repositories in different countries.

The EA team has inherited the architecture used by the current products, some of which can be carried over to the new products. The EA team has started to define which parts of the architecture to carry forward. Enough of the Business Architecture has been defined so that work can commence on the Information Systems and Technology Architectures. Those architectures need to be defined to support the key digital services that the company plans to provide.

The company uses the TOGAF Standard as the foundation for its Enterprise Architecture framework, and architecture development follows the purpose-based EA Capability model outlined in the TOGAF Series Guide: A Practitioner’s Approach to Developing Enterprise Architecture Following the TOGAF ADM. The EA team reports to the Chief Information Officer (CIO), who oversees the program.

You have been asked how to decide and organize the work to deliver the requested architectures.

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

Options:

A.

You refer to the superior architecture for guidance. You review the projects identified, their dependencies, and synergies, then decide the sequence for starting the projects. You develop high-level architecture descriptions. For each project, you determine how much work is needed, identify reference architectures, and candidate building blocks. You identify the resource needs taking into account cost and value. You document the different o

B.

You look outside the company to study how other companies organize their data models and application portfolios. You create just enough architecture description for the Application, Data, and Technology Architectures to identify the different options. For each project, this includes identification of candidate architecture and solution building blocks. You then identify solution providers, perform a readiness assessment, and assess the viab

C.

You research leading data companies, using your findings to help in developing high-level Target Data, Application, and Technology Architectures. You review the Architecture Vision to determine the level of detail, time, and scope of the ADM cycle phases required for each project. You identify and estimate the cost of the main resources. You then prepare an Architecture Roadmap and request the Architecture Board to review the roadmap. You t

D.

You commence an iteration of ADM Phase A, identifying the stakeholders and revising the Architecture Vision. You perform a Stakeholder Analysis and update the Stakeholder Map. You conduct workshops and interviews to reflect the stakeholders who are now the key drivers for the digital products and services. You coordinate with the CIO to ensure alignment with the overall roadmap and update the Implementation and Migration Plan accordingly.

Question 5

Please read this scenario prior to answering the question

Your role is that of a senior architect, reporting to the Chief Enterprise Architect, at a medium-sized company with 400 employees. The nature of the business is such that the data and the information stored on the company systems is their major asset and is highly confidential.

The company employees travel extensively for work and must communicate over public infrastructure using message encryption, VPNs, and other standard safeguards. The company has invested in cybersecurity awareness training for all its staff. However, it is recognized that even with good education as well as system security, there is a dependency on third-parly suppliers of infrastructure and software.

The company uses the TOGAF standard as the method and guiding framework for its Enterprise Architecture (EA) practice. The CTO is the sponsor of the activity.

The Chief Security Officer (CSO) has noted an increase in ransomware (malicious software used in ransom demands) attacks on companies with a similar profile. The CSO recognizes that no matter how much is spent on education, and support, it is likely just a matter of time before the company suffers a significant attack that could completely lock them out of their information assets.

A risk assessment has been done and the company has sought cyber insurance that includes ransomware coverage. The quotation for this insurance is hugely expensive. The CTO has recently read a survey that stated that one in four organizations paying ransoms were still unable to recover their data, while nearly as many were able to recover the data without paying a ransom. The CTO has concluded that taking out cyber insurance in case they need to pay a ransom is not an option.

Refer to the scenario

You have been asked to describe the steps you would take to improve the resilience of the current architecture?

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

Options:

A.

You would determine business continuity requirements, and undertake a gap analysis of the current Enterprise Architecture. You would make recommendations for change requirements to address the situation and create a change request. You would manage a meeting of the Architecture Board to assess and approve the change request. Once approved you would produce a new Request for Architecture Work to activate an ADM cycle to carry out a project t

B.

You would monitor for technology changes from your existing suppliers that could improve resilience. You would prepare and run a disaster recovery planning exercise for a ransomware attack and analyze the performance of the current Enterprise Architecture. Using the findings, you would prepare a gap analysis of the current Enterprise Architecture. You would prepare change requests to address identified gaps. You would add the changes implem

C.

You would ensure that the company has in place up-to-date processes for managing change to the current Enterprise Architecture. Based on the scope of the concerns raised you recommend that this be managed at the infrastructure level. Changes should be made to the baseline description of the Technology Architecture. The changes should be approved by the Architecture Board and implemented by change management techniques.

D.

You would request an Architecture Compliance Review with the scope to examine the company's resilience to ransomware attacks. You would identify the departments involved and have them nominate representatives. You would then tailor checklists to address the requirement for increased resilience. You would circulate to the nominated representatives for them to complete. You would then review the completed checklists, identifying and resolving

Question 6

Please read this scenario prior to answering the question

Your role is that of a consultant to the Lead Enterprise Architect to an international supplier of

engineering services and automated manufacturing systems. It has three manufacturing plants

where it assembles both standard and customized products for industrial production

automation. Each of these plants has been operating its own planning and production

scheduling systems, as well as applications and control systems that drive the automated

production line.

The Enterprise Architecture department has been operating for several years and has mature,

well-developed architecture governance and development processes that are based on the

TOGAF Standard. The CIO sponsors the Enterprise Architecture.

During a recent management meeting, a senior Vice-President highlighted an interview where

a competitor company's CIO is reported as saying that their production efficiency had been

improved by replacing multiple planning and scheduling systems with a common Enterprise

Resource Planning (ERP) system located in a central data center. Some discussion followed,

with the CIO responding that the situations are not comparable, and the current architecture is

already optimized.

In response, the Architecture Board approved a Request for Architecture Work covering the

investigations to determine if such an architecture transformation would lead to improvements

in efficiency. You have been assigned to support the architecture team working on this project.

A well-known concern of the plant managers is about the security and reliability of driving their

planning and production scheduling from a remote centralized system. Any chosen system

would also need to support the current supply chain network consisting of local partners at

each of the plants.

Refer to the scenario

You have been asked to explain how you will initiate the architecture project.

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

Options:

A.

You would 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, you would define a preliminary Architecture Vision including summary

views, high-level requirements, and high-level definitions of the baseline and target

environments from a business, information systems, and technology perspective. You

B.

You would conduct a pilot project that will enable vendors to demonstrate potential

off-the-shelf solutions that address the concerns of the stakeholders. Running a pilot

project will save time and money later in the process. Based on the findings of that

pilot project, a complete set of requirements can then be developed that will drive the

evolution of the architecture. Once the requirements are completed, a formal

You would hold a series of interviews at each of the manufacturing plants using the

business scenarios technique. This will allow you to understand the systems and

integrations with local partners. You would use stakeholder analysis to identify key

players in the engagement, and to understand their concerns. You will then identify

and document the key high-level stakeholder requirements for the architecture. You

D.

You would 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 business case, together with performance metrics

and measures should be defined to ensure the architecture meets the business

needs. A consolidated gap analysis between the architectures will then validate the

approach

Question 7

Scenario

Your role is that of an Enterprise Architect, reporting to the Chief Enterprise Architect, at a technology company.

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 EA 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 is the company’s major asset and is highly confidential. The company employees travel a lot for work and need to communicate over 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. However, despite good education and system security, there is still a need to rely on third-party suppliers for infrastructure and software.

The Chief Security Officer (CSO) has noted an increase in ransomware (malicious software used in ransom demands) attacks on companies with a similar profile. The CSO recognizes that no matter how much is spent on education and support, the company could be a victim of a significant attack that could completely lock them out of their important data.

A risk assessment has been completed, and the company has looked for cyber insurance that covers ransomware. The price for this insurance is very high. The CTO recently saw a survey that said 1 out of 4 businesses that paid ransoms could not get their data back, and almost thesame number were able to recover the data without paying. The CTO has decided not to get cyber insurance to cover ransom payment.

You have been asked to describe the steps you would take to strengthen the current architecture to improve data protection.

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

Options:

A.

You would ensure that the company has in place up-to-date processes for managing change to the current Enterprise Architecture. Based on the scope of the concerns raised, you recommend that this be managed at the infrastructure level. Changes should be made to the baseline description of the Technology Architecture. The changes should be approved by the Architecture Board and implemented by change management techniques.

B.

You would request an Architecture Compliance Review with the scope to examine the company’s ability to respond to ransomware attacks. You would identify the departments involved and have them nominate representatives. You would then tailor checklists to address the requirement for increased resilience. You would circulate to the nominated representatives for them to complete. You would then review the completed checklists, identifying and r

D.

You would assess business continuity requirements and analyze the current Enterprise Architecture for gaps. You would recommend changes to address the situation and create a change request. You would engage the Architecture Board to assess and approve the change request. Once approved, you would create a new Request for Architecture Work to begin an ADM cycle to implement the changes.

Question 8

Please read this scenario prior to answering the question

You are working as Chief Enterprise Architect at a large Internet company. The company has many divisions, ranging from cloud to logistics. The company has grown rapidly, expanding from initially selling physical books and media to a range of services including an online marketplace, live-streaming. eBooks. and cloud services.

Overall management of the numerous divisions has become challenging. Recent high-profile projects have overrun on budget and under delivered, damaging the company's reputation, and adversely impacting its share price. There is a widely held view within the executive management that the organization structure has played a major role in these project failures.

The company has an established Enterprise Architecture program based on the TOGAF standard, sponsored jointly by the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Chief Information Officer (CIO). The CEO has decided that the company needs to reorganize its divisions around artificial intelligence and machine learning with a focus on automation. The CEO has worked with the Enterprise Architects to create a strategic architecture for the reorganization, including an Architecture Vision, together with definitions for the four domain architectures. This sets out an ambitious vision of the future of the company over a three-year period. This includes a set of work packages and includes three distinct transformations.

The CIO has made it clear that prior to the approval of the detailed Implementation and Migration plan, the EAteam will need to assess the risks associated with the proposed architecture. He has received concerns from key stakeholders across the company that the proposed reorganization may be too ambitious and there is doubt whether it can produce sufficient value to warrant the risks.

Refer to the scenario

You have been asked to recommend an approach to satisfy these concerns. Based on the TOGAF Standard, which of the following is the best answer?

Options:

A.

The Enterprise Architects should evaluate the organization's readiness to undergo change. This will allow the risks associated with the transformations to be identified, classified, and mitigated for. This should include identifying dependencies between the set of changes, including gaps and work packages. It will also identify improvement actions to be worked into the Implementation and Migration Plan. The business value, effort, and risk

Please read this scenario prior to answering the question

You are employed as an Enterprise Architect within a multinational company. The

company has been very successful and has been buying companies around the

world. This has led to a growing number of manufacturing divisions in various

locations with a complex supply chain.

The top management recently expressed concerns about the company's effectiveness

because of its multiple data centers and duplicate applications. The EA team has

been working on a project to solve this issue. An analysis shows that supply chain

issues have led to not enough products being produced to meet all the customer

demand.

A strategic architecture has been defined to help meet customer demand and manage

the supply chain more effectively. The strategic architecture involves combining

different Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) applications that are currently used

separately in the company's production sites.

Each division has finished the Architecture Definition documentation to address their

own specific manufacturing needs. The Enterprise Architects have agreed an overall

strategy for the migration. They have defined a set of work packages that address the

gaps found. They have defined the intermediate architectural states between the

Baseline and Target architecture to add a new ERP environment into the company.

Because of the risks posed by this change from the current environment, the

architects have recommended that a phased approach should be taken to implement

the target architecture with several stages of change. They have created a draft

roadmap with the implementation process estimated to take over two years.

The company has an established Enterprise Architecture (EA) practice and follows the

TOGAF Architecture Development Method. The company also uses various

management frameworks such as business planning, project/portfolio management,

and operations management. The EA program is sponsored by the Chief Information

Officer (CIO). In your role as an Enterprise Architect within the EA team, you work

closely with the important stakeholders from the various divisions within the company.
