Question No. 1
Please read this scenario prior to answering the question
You are working as an Enterprise Architect at a large supermarket. The company runs many retail
stores, as well as an online grocery shop. Many of the stores used to remain open 24/7, but the
number has decreased in recent years. Instead, they now focus on fulfilling online orders during
the night.
The company has a mature Enterprise Architecture (EA) practice and uses the TOGAF standard
for its architecture development method. The EA practice is involved in all aspects of the
business, with oversight provided by an Architecture Board with representatives from different
parts of the business. The EA program is sponsored by the Chief Information Officer (CIO).
Each store uses a standard method to track sales and inventory. This involves sending accurate
timely sales data to a central Al-based inventory management system that can predict demand,
adjust stock levels and automate reordering. The central inventory management system is housed
at the company's central data center.
The company has bought a major rival. The Chief Executive Officer believes that a merger will
enable growth through combined offerings and cost savings. The decision has been taken to fully
integrate the two organizations, including merging retail operations and systems. This means that
duplicated systems will be replaced with one standard retail management system. Also, the
company will reduce the number of applications that are used. The CIO expects significant
savings will be achieved by implementing these changes across the newly merged company.
One improvement that the rival has successfully implemented is the use of hand-held devices
within stores, for both customers and staff. This has increased both customer and staff employee
satisfaction due to the time savings this has brought. The CIO has given the go-ahead to roll out
the devices in all stores but has stated that training on how to use the hand-held devices should
be brief because there are a lot of employees, many of whom are part-time.
The Request for Architecture Work to oversee the merger has been approved. The project has
been scoped and you have been assigned to work on it. Your role includes managing the
architecture for the retail stores.
Refer to the scenario
You have been asked to confirm the most relevant architecture principles for the transformation.
Based on the TOGAF Standard, which of the following is the best answer?
[Note: The sequence of the principles listed in each answer does not matter. You should assume
the company follows the set of principles that are provided in the TOGAF Standard, ADM
Techniques, Architecture Principles chapter. You may need to refer to section 2.6 located in ADM
Techniques within the reference text to answer this question.]
This option comprehensively aligns with the scenario.
Option 2:
Control Technical Diversity: Important but less emphasized than cost reduction and application unification.
Interoperability: Relevant, but less critical compared to principles addressing business value.
Data is an Asset: Relevant.
Data is Shared: Implied in centralized inventory but not directly stated.
Business Continuity: Important but not the main focus here.
This option partially fits but lacks emphasis on business outcomes.
Option 3:
Common Vocabulary and Data Definitions: Indirectly helpful but not central to the transformation.
Compliance with the Law: Always critical, but no explicit legal issues are mentioned.
Requirements-Based Change: General principle but not transformation-specific.
Responsive Change Management: Relevant.
Data Security: Important but not a central concern in the scenario.
This option focuses more on governance and less on merger goals.
Option 4:
Common Use Applications: Relevant to reducing duplicate systems.
Data is an Asset: Relevant.
Data is Accessible: Fits with AI system and handheld devices but is a subset of 'Data is an Asset.'
Ease of Use: Relevant to handheld devices but not a core transformation principle.
Business Continuity: Important but secondary to cost and efficiency.
This option focuses more on usability and accessibility rather than transformation objectives.
Question No. 2
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?
According to the TOGAF standard, the Target Architecture is the description of a future state of the architecture being developed for an organization. It should be aligned with the Architecture Vision, Principles, and Requirements that have been agreed with the stakeholders. To address the incompatibilities between key stakeholder preferences, the TOGAF standard recommends creating and evaluating multiple alternative Target Architectures that meet different sets of criteria. These criteria should reflect the value preferences and priorities of the stakeholders, as well as the business drivers and objectives. The alternative Target Architectures should be illustrated using a set of architecture views that show the impact of each alternative on the business, data, application, and technology domains. The impact on planned projects should also be identified and analyzed. The strengths and weaknesses of each alternative should be understood and documented. A formal stakeholder review should then be conducted to decide which alternative is the most fit for purpose and should be moved forward with. The funding required for implementing the chosen alternative should also be determined and secured.Reference:

Question No. 3
Please read this scenario prior to answering the question
You are working as the Chief Enterprise Architect within a law firm specializing in personal injury cases. Many of the firm's competitors have improved their litigation strategies, and efficiency by streamlining their processes using Artificial Intelligence {Al).
The CIO has approved a Request for Architecture Work to examine the use of Machine Learning in defining a new Al-driven litigation and finance process for the firm. This process would instruct the lawyers and analysts as to what tasks and portfolio they should work on. The key objectives are to increase task profitability, maximize staff utilization, and increase individual profitability.
The CIO has emphasized that the architecture should enable the fast implementation of continuous Machine Learning. The solution will need to be constantly measured for delivered value and be quickly iterated to success.
Some of the partners have expressed concerns about letting the Al make the decisions, others about the risks associated with use of it for the type of service they deliver. The CIO wants to know if these concerns can be addressed, and how risks will be covered by a new architecture enabling Al and Machine Learning.
Refer to the scenario
You have been asked to respond to the CIO recommending an approach that would enable the development of an architecture that addresses the concerns of the CIO and the concerns of the partners.
Based on the TOGAF standard which of the following is the best answer?
Identify the stakeholders of the architecture work, using various sources and methods, such as interviews, surveys, workshops, or existing documents.
Classify the stakeholders according to their roles, responsibilities, and relationships, using various criteria and dimensions, such as power, influence, interest, attitude, or impact.
Define the concerns and relevant views for each stakeholder group, using various techniques, such as business scenarios, use cases, or value propositions. A concern is a key interest or issue that is relevant to the stakeholder, such as a goal, a problem, a need, or a risk. A view is a representation of the system of interest from the perspective of one or more stakeholders and their concerns.
Record the stakeholders and their concerns in a Stakeholder Map, which shows the mapping between the stakeholder groups, the concerns, and the views. The Stakeholder Map also shows the dependencies, assumptions, and issues related to each stakeholder and concern.
Therefore, the best answer is B, because it recommends the approach that would enable the development of an architecture that addresses the concerns of the CIO and the partners, using the Stakeholder Map technique. The answer covers the following aspects:
An analysis of the stakeholders is undertaken, which involves identifying, classifying, and defining the stakeholders and their concerns.
The stakeholders and their concerns are documented in a Stakeholder Map, which provides a clear and comprehensive picture of the stakeholder landscape and their interests.
This approach also allows a supervised agile implementation of the continuous Machine Learning, which involves applying agile principles and practices to the architecture development and implementation, such as iterative and incremental delivery, frequent feedback, collaboration, and adaptation. A supervised agile implementation can help to ensure the quality, value, and alignment of the architecture, and to respond to the changing needs and expectations of the stakeholders.
Question No. 4
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?
The best answer is C. 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.
The other answers are not the best approach for architecture development, because:
Answer A focuses on researching vendor literature and conducting briefings with vendors, which is not the best way to understand the business needs and the current situation of the enterprise. Answer A also defines a preliminary Architecture Vision without involving the stakeholders or validating the requirements, which may lead to misalignment and lack of consensus.
Answer B conducts a pilot project that will enable vendors to demonstrate potential solutions, which is premature and costly at this stage of the architecture project. Answer B also does not address the stakeholder concerns or the current systems and integrations, which may result in gaps and risks. Answer B also develops the requirements after the pilot project, which may not reflect the actual business needs and goals.
Answer D develops baseline and target architectures for each of the manufacturing plants, which may not consider the enterprise-wide perspective and the potential benefits of a common ERP system. Answer D also does not involve the stakeholders or address their concerns, which may result in resistance and conflict. Answer D also does not define the business case or the performance metrics, which are essential for demonstrating the value and feasibility of the architecture.
Question No. 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?
The best answer is A, because it describes the steps that would improve the resilience of the current architecture, which is the ability to withstand and recover from a ransomware attack or any other disruption. The steps are:
Determine the business continuity requirements, which specify the minimum acceptable level of performance and availability of the business processes and services in case of a ransomware attack. This would involve identifying the critical business functions, the recovery time objectives, the recovery point objectives, and the dependencies and resources needed for recovery.
Undertake a gap analysis of the current Enterprise Architecture, which compares the current state of the architecture with the desired state based on the business continuity requirements. This would involve assessing the strengths and weaknesses of the current architecture, the risks and opportunities for improvement, and the gaps or differences that need to be addressed.
Make recommendations for change requirements to address the situation and create a change request. This would involve proposing solutions and alternatives to close the gaps, enhance the resilience, and mitigate the risks of the current architecture. The change request would document the rationale, scope, impact, and benefits of the proposed changes, and seek approval from the relevant stakeholders.
Manage a meeting of the Architecture Board to assess and approve the change request. The Architecture Board is a governance body that oversees the architecture work and ensures compliance with the architecture principles, standards, and goals. The meeting would involve presenting the change request, discussing the pros and cons, resolving any issues or conflicts, and obtaining the approval or rejection of the change request.
Once approved, produce a new Request for Architecture Work to activate an ADM cycle to carry out a project to define the change. The Request for Architecture Work would describe the scope, approach, and expected outcomes of the architecture project that would implement the approved change request. The Request for Architecture Work would initiate a new cycle of the Architecture Development Method (ADM), which is the core process of the TOGAF standard that guides the development and management of the enterprise architecture.
