2. Question 102 · 128 in bank

   Please read this scenario prior to answering the question. You are the Lead Enterprise Architect at a major agribusiness company. The company's mam 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 - You have been asked to propose 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?

   • AYou propose that this engagement define the baseline Technology Architecture first 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 fashion so as to realize the change.
   • BYou propose that the team focus 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.
   • CYou propose that the priority is to 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.
   • DYou propose that the team uses the architecture definition document and focus on architecture development starting simultaneously phases B, C and 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.

9. Question 109 · 128 in bank

   Please read this scenario prior to answering the question You are working as an Enterprise Architect at a technology company. The company has multiple subsidiary companies engaged in mobile, online shopping, cloud computing services, and a social media platform. The company has grown rapidly and claims to be adding 20 million new users a month. The company has an established Enterprise Architecture (EA) program based on the TOGAF standard, sponsored jointly by the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Chief Information Officer (CIO). In your role as an Enterprise Architect within the EA team, you work closely with the business stakeholders in the company as well as the sponsors. The senior leadership within the company is worried about the ability of the company to address the challenges of climate change and the opportunities around artificial intelligence. They are concerned that the business will not be sustainable without making significant changes. Most senior leaders feel that operations must become more efficient, and the organization needs to change to achieve its future goals. The CEO has decided that reorganizing its subsidiaries around artificial intelligence and machine learning will improve the way the company creates and delivers value. The sponsors have approved an EA project for the reorganization. The EA team has created a strategic architecture with the CEO and CIO. It includes an Architecture Vision, and high-level definitions of the domain architectures. This sets out an ambitious plan over a three-year period and covers three distinct transformations to implement the reorganization. The sponsors have read reports that up to 70% of companies are failing at digital and artificial intelligence transformation. They have made it clear that prior to approval of the detailed Implementation and Migration Plan, the EA team needs to assess and mitigate the risks associated with the reorganization. They want assurance that the reorganization will succeed and deliver the promised increases in value for the business. Refer to the scenario - You have been asked by the EA team leader to recommend an approach to address the request from the sponsors. Based on the TOGAF Standard, which of the following is the best answer?

   • AYou would assess the organization's preparedness to undergo change. This will allow the risks associated with the transformations to be identified, classified, and mitigated for. This would 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 associated with each transformation should be determined.
   • BYou would apply an interoperability analysis to evaluate the potential issues across the proposed new architecture. This should include the development of a matrix showing the interoperability requirements. The degree of interoperability should then be aligned with the corporate operating model to ensure risks are mitigated and minimized. The risk mitigations can then be included within each of the target Transition Architectures. You would then finalize the Architecture Roadmap and the Implementation and Migration Plan.
   • CYou would bring together information about potential approaches and produce several alternative target transition architectures. You would then investigate the different architecture alternatives and discuss these with stakeholders using the Architecture Alternatives and Trade-offs technique. Once the target architecture has been selected, it should be analyzed using a state evolution table to determine the Transition Architectures. A value realization process should then be established to ensure that the concerns raised are addressed.
   • DBefore preparing the detailed Implementation and Migration Plan, you would review and consolidate the gap analysis results from Phases B to This will identify the transformations required to achieve the proposed Target Architecture. You would then assess the readiness of the organization to undergo change and determine an overall direction to address and mitigate identified risks. The Transition Architecture should then be planned to use a state evolution table.

10. Question 110 · 128 in bank

    Please read this scenario prior to answering the question You are an Enterprise Architect at a food production and distribution company. 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 the EA practice. The practice has adopted an iterative approach for its architecture development. This has enabled decision-makers to have valuable insights into 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, has led to a significant decrease in profits. The rising costs and reduced 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 single main crop and will allow the use of its processing facilities by third parties. This is a major decision, and the CEO has stated a preference to repurpose and reuse rather than replace, so as to manage risks and limit 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 is 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?

    • AYou recommend that the team focus its iteration cycles on 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.
    • BYou recommend that the priority is to understand the problem and define the structure of the change. The team should focus iteration cycles on a baseline-first approach to architecture development and then transition planning. This will identify the change needed in order 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.
    • CYou recommend that the team focus on architecture definition and operate multiple ADM phases concurrently 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. You would ensure that the architecture development addresses non-functional requirements to assure that the target architecture is robust and secure.
    • DYou recommend that this engagement define the baseline Technology Architecture first in order to assess the current infrastructure capacity and capability of the company. Then, the focus should be on transition planning and incremental architecture deployment. This will identify requirements to ensure that projects are sequenced optimally to realize the change.
