• Question 4

  ScenarioYou are working as an Enterprise Architect within a large manufacturing company. The company has multiple divisions located worldwide.After a recent study, senior management is concerned about the impact of the company's multiple data centers and duplication of applications on business efficiency. To address this concern, a strategic architecture has been defined; it will help improve the ability to meet customer demand and improve the efficiency of operations. The strategic architecture involves the consolidation of multiple application programs that are currently used in different divisions and putting them all onto a cloud-based solution instead.Each division has completed the Architecture Definition documentation to meet its own specific operational requirements. The enterprise architects have analyzed the corporate changes and implementation constraints. A consolidated gap analysis has been completed. Based on its results, the architects have reviewed the requirements, dependencies, and interoperability requirements needed to integrate the cloud-based solution. The architects have completed the Business Transformation Readiness Assessment. Based on all these factors, they have produced a risk assessment. They have also completed the draft Implementation and Migration Plan, the draft Architecture Roadmap, and the Capability Assessment deliverables.Due to the risks of changing from the current environment, the decision has been taken that a gradual approach is needed to implement the target architecture. It will likely take a few years to complete the whole implementation process.The company has a mature Enterprise Architecture (EA) practice and uses the TOGAF standard for its architecture development method. The EA practice is engaged throughout all the divisions, with implementation governance assigned to a business line. In addition to providing guidance on using architecture frameworks, including business planning, project/portfolio management, and operations management, the EA program is sponsored by the Chief Information Officer (CIO).You have been asked to decide on the next steps for the migration planning.Based on the TOGAF standard, which of the following is the best answer?

  • You update the Architecture Definition Document, which includes setting project objectives and documenting the final requirements. This will ensure that the architecture remains relevant and responsive to the needs of the enterprise. You then produce an Implementation Governance Model to manage the lessons learned prior to finalizing the Implementation and Migration Plan. You recommend that lessons learned be applied as changes to the architecture without review.
  • You conduct a series of Compliance Assessments to ensure that the architecture is being implemented according to the contract. The Compliance Assessment verifies that the implementation team is using the proper development methodology. It should include deployment of monitoring tools and ensure that performance targets are being met. If they are not met, then you would identify changes to performance requirements and update those in the Implementation and Migration Plan.
  • You examine how the Implementation and Migration Plan affects the other frameworks being used in the organization. You coordinate the planning with the business planning, project/portfolio management, and operations management frameworks. You assign a business value to each project, considering the available resources and how well they align with the strategy. You then update the architecture roadmap and the Implementation and Migration Plan.
  • You assess the business value for each project by applying the Business Value Assessment Technique. The assessment should focus on return on investment and performance evaluation criteria to prioritize the most progress of the architecture transformation. You confirm and plan a series of Transition Architecture phases using an Architecture Definition Increments Table. You document the lessons learned and generate the final Implementation and Migration Plan.

• Question 5

  Please read this scenario prior to answering the questionYour role is that of a consultant to the Lead Enterprise Architect to an international supplier ofengineering services and automated manufacturing systems. It has three manufacturing plantswhere it assembles both standard and customized products for industrial productionautomation. Each of these plants has been operating its own planning and productionscheduling systems, as well as applications and control systems that drive the automatedproduction 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 theTOGAF Standard. The CIO sponsors the Enterprise Architecture.During a recent management meeting, a senior Vice-President highlighted an interview wherea competitor company's CIO is reported as saying that their production efficiency had beenimproved by replacing multiple planning and scheduling systems with a common EnterpriseResource 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 isalready optimized.In response, the Architecture Board approved a Request for Architecture Work covering theinvestigations to determine if such an architecture transformation would lead to improvementsin 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 theirplanning and production scheduling from a remote centralized system. Any chosen systemwould also need to support the current supply chain network consisting of local partners ateach of the plants.Refer to the scenarioYou 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?

  • 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 would then use that to build consensus among the key stakeholders.
  • 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 stakeholder review should be held, and permission sought to proceed to develop the target architecture.
  • 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 will then generate high level definitions of the baseline and target architectures.
  • 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 and determine the capability increments needed to achieve the target state.
