Full Scenario
You are employed as an Enterprise Architect in an Enterprise Architecture (EA) team at a food production and distribution company. The main goal of the company is to increase profit while meeting the needs of consumers for its products. Its customers want food that is produced sustainably, safely, and transparently, while reducing environmental impact.
The company has an Enterprise Architecture practice based on the TOGAF standard, using it as the method and guiding framework. The Chief Information Officer (CIO) is the sponsor of EA practice.
The business is a highly mechanized agricultural operation where business capabilities, including planting, harvesting, processing, packaging, and distribution, rely heavily on technology and machinery. The use of EA has enabled the decision makers to have valuable insights into the different aspects of the business.
The warmer climate has led to less successful farming, and the company is growing fewer crops than before. Also, prices for energy, feed, fuel, and fertilizer have gone up. This has caused a big drop in earnings. Due to the rising costs and lower profits, the company has been unable to do as much to help the environment. It especially has struggled to reduce its carbon emissions.
In response to the situation, the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) has decided that big changes are needed, that will lead both to improved crop production and profitability. They must look to all aspects of the business. This includes looking at the mix of crops to mitigate for the change in climate. The company will also cease to process its own crops and will sell off its processing facilities. Thus, the target market will change, and the end-products will be different and more varied. A formal request for architecture change has been approved. At this stage there is no fixed scope, shared vision, or objectives.
Question:
What is 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?
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?
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.

Please read this scenario prior to answering the question
You are employed as an Enterprise Architect at a company. The company manages
large-scale farming operations with food production, processing, and distribution. The
goal of the company is to maximize profit while satisfying the needs of consumers for
its products. Its customers demand food that is produced sustainably, safely, and
transparently, while reducing environmental impact.
The business is highly mechanized, and this mechanization has brought about a
decrease in the number of workers needed, together with a focus on agricultural
engineering to improve the efficiency of its farms, its processing facilities, and the
overall enterprise. As part of this, the company has established an Enterprise
Architecture (EA) practice based on the TOGAF standard, using it as the method and
guiding framework. The Chief Information Officer (CIO) is the sponsor of EA practice.
The practice has adopted an iterative approach for its architecture development. This
has enabled the decision makers to have valuable insights into the different aspects
of the business.
In recent years there have been a series of bad harvests, and a major reduction in
yields of the main crop produced by the company. This combined with an increase in
costs for energy, feed, fuel, and fertilizer, had led to a significant decrease in profits.
The rising costs and lower profits mean that the company is unable to take as much
planned action on climate measures as it would like, such as reducing its carbon
footprint. The Chief Executive Officer (CEO) has stated that big changes are needed
to improve yields and profitability.
The outline strategy for change, includes new products, and new markets. The
company will switch to a mix of crops rather than depend on a main crop and will
allow use of its processing facilities by third parties. This is a major decision, and the
CEO has stated a desire to repurpose and reuse rather than replace so as to manage
the risks and limit the costs.
The CIO has assigned the EA team to manage this project. The CIO has stated that
although the overall objective is known, the EA team are expected to define the
scope, a shared vision, and the requirements.

You have been asked to recommend the best approach for architecture development
to realize the CEO's change in direction for the company.
