Question # 7

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?

A.

The team should use the Architecture Definition Document and work on architecture development starting simultaneously phases B, C and D. This is because the CEO has 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 change.

B.

The team should define the baseline Technology Architecture first in order to assess the current infrastructure capacity and capability for the company. Next, the team should concentrate on transition planning and incremental architecture deployment. This will identify requirements to ensure that the projects are sequenced in an optimal fashion to realize the change.

C.

The team should produce a new Request for Architecture Work leading to development of a new Architecture Vision. The trade-off method should be applied to identify and select an architecture satisfying the stakeholders. For an efficient change the EA team should be aligned with the organization’s planning, budgeting, operational, and change processes.

D.

The team should work on architecture definition including development of business models, with emphasis on defining the change parameters to support this new business strategy that the CEO has identified. Once understood, the team will be in the best position to identify the requirements, drivers, issues, and constraints for the change.

Question # 8

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?

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 # 9

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.

Refer to the scenario

Question # 29

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.

Refer to the scenario

You have been asked to recommend 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?

A.

The team should start on architecture definition and operate multiple ADM

phases concurrently to support this change in direction. Once understood, the

team will identify the requirements, drivers, issues, and constraints for the

change. You would include non-functional requirements in the architecture

development to make sure that the target architecture meets it compliance and

regulatory requirements.

B.

The team first needs to understand the problem and define the structure of the

change. It should start iteration cycles on a baseline first approach to

architecture development, and then transition planning. This will identify the

change needed to transition from the baseline to the target and can be used to

work out in detail what the agreed vision is for the change.

C.

The team should start its iteration cycles of architecture development by going

through the architecture definition phases (B-D) with a baseline first approach.

This will support the change in direction as stated by the CEO. It will ensure

that the change can be defined in a structured manner and address the

requirements needed to realize the change.

D.

The team should start by defining the baseline Technology Architecture in order

to assess the current infrastructure capacity and capability for the company.

Then the focus should be on transition planning and incremental architecture

deployment. This will identify requirements to ensure that the projects are

sequenced in an optimal way to realize the change.
