You have been appointed as senior architect working for an autonomous driving technology development company. The mission of the company is to build an industry leading unified technology and software platform to support connected cars and autonomous driving.
The company uses the TOGAF Standard as the basis for its Enterprise Architecture (EA) framework.
Architecture development within the company follows the purpose-based EA Capability model as described in the TOGAF Series Guide: A Practitioners ' Approach to Developing Enterprise Architecture Following the TOGAF ADM.
An architecture to support strategy has been completed defining a long-range Target Architecture with a roadmap spanning five years. This has identified the need for a portfolio of projects over the next two years.
The portfolio includes development of travel assistance systems using swarm data from vehicles on the road.
The current phase of architecture development is focused on the Business Architecture which needs to support the core travel assistance services that the company plans to provide. The core services will manage and process the swarm data generated by vehicles, paving the way for autonomous driving in the future.
The presentation and access to different variations of data that the company plans to offer through its platform poses an architecture challenge. The application portfolio needs to interact securely with various third-party cloud services, and V2X (Vehicle-to-Everything) service providers in many countries to be able to manage the data at scale. The security of V2X is a key concern for the stakeholders. Regulators have stated that the user ' s privacy be always protected, for example, so that the drivers ' journey cannot be tracked or reconstructed by compiling data sent or received by the car.
Refer to the scenario
You have been asked to describe the risk and security considerations you would include in the current phase of the architecture development?
Based on the TOGAF standard which of the following is the best answer?

• A. You will focus on the relationship with the third parties required for the travel assistance systems and define a trust framework. This will describe the relationship with each party. Digital certificates are a key part of the framework and will be used to create trust between parties. You will monitor legal and regulatory changes across all the countries to keep the trust framework in compliance.
• B. You will focus on data quality as it is a key factor in risk management. You will identify the datasets that need to be safeguarded. For each dataset, you will assign ownership and responsibility for the quality of data needs. A security classification will be defined and applied to each dataset. The dataset owner will then be able to authorize processes that are trusted for a certain activity on the dataset under certain circumstances.
• C. You will create a security domain model so that assets with the same level can be managed under one security policy. Since data is being shared across partners, you will establish a security federation to include them. This would include contractual arrangements, and a definition of the responsibility areas for the data exchanged, as well as security implications. You would undertake a risk assessment determining risks relevant to specific data assets.
• D. You will perform a qualitative risk assessment for the data assets exchanged with partners. This will deliver a set of priorities, high to medium to low, based on identified threats, the likelihood of occurrence, and the impact if it did occur. Using the priorities, you would then develop a Business Risk Model which will detail the risk strategy including classifications to determine what mitigation is enough.

Scenario
You are working as an Enterprise Architect within an Enterprise Architecture (EA) team at a global company that sells consumer products. The company produces many products that buyers use and enjoy.
The company has announced a major change to its products that will occur over a four-year period. This change includes the introduction of digital products and services. An architecture to support this strategy has been finished, along with a roadmap for a set of projects to implement this significant change. This will be a cross-functional effort between the product design and software teams. It is planned to be developed in phases.
The company faces a challenge in presenting and providing access to different services through its products and digital platforms while ensuring compliance with data privacy laws. In some countries and regions, the data residency requirements mean that the company has to store certain data within the region where it is collected. As a result, the company's application portfolio and infrastructure must connect with various cloud services and data repositories in different countries.
The EA team has inherited the architecture used by the current products, some of which can be carried over to the new products. The EA team has started to define which parts of the architecture to carry forward. Enough of the Business Architecture has been defined so that work can commence on the Information Systems and Technology Architectures. Those architectures need to be defined to support the key digital services that the company plans to provide.
The company uses the TOGAF Standard as the foundation for its Enterprise Architecture framework, and architecture development follows the purpose-based EA Capability model outlined in the TOGAF Series Guide: A Practitioner's Approach to Developing Enterprise Architecture Following the TOGAF ADM. The EA team reports to the Chief Information Officer (CIO), who oversees the program.
You have been asked how to decide and organize the work to deliver the requested architectures.
Based on the TOGAF standard, which of the following is the best answer?

• A. You commence an iteration of ADM Phase A, identifying the stakeholders and revising the Architecture Vision. You perform a Stakeholder Analysis and update the Stakeholder Map. You conduct workshops and interviews to reflect the stakeholders who are now the key drivers for the digital products and services. You coordinate with the CIO to ensure alignment with the overall roadmap and update the Implementation and Migration Plan accordingly.
• B. You research leading data companies, using your findings to help in developing high-level Target Data, Application, and Technology Architectures. You review the Architecture Vision to determine the level of detail, time, and scope of the ADM cycle phases required for each project. You identify and estimate the cost of the main resources. You then prepare an Architecture Roadmap and request the Architecture Board to review the roadmap. You then start the project.
• C. You look outside the company to study how other companies organize their data models and application portfolios. You create just enough architecture description for the Application, Data, and Technology Architectures to identify the different options. For each project, this includes identification of candidate architecture and solution building blocks. You then identify solution providers, perform a readiness assessment, and assess the viability and fitness of the solution options. You then write the draft Implementation and Migration plan.
• D. You refer to the superior architecture for guidance. You review the projects identified, their dependencies, and synergies, then decide the sequence for starting the projects. You develop high-level architecture descriptions. For each project, you determine how much work is needed, identify reference architectures, and candidate building blocks. You identify the resource needs taking into account cost and value. You document the different options, risks, and ways to control them to enable feasibility analysis and trade-off with the stakeholders.

You are employed as an Enterprise Architect for a company that is an international supplier of manufacturing systems.
The company has multiple 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 current systems work with the local partners in the supply chain at each plant.
The company has been facing competition in the marketplace and its leadership has been considering how to improve production efficiency. A favored proposal is to replace many of the systems with a centralized system communicating with the manufacturing plants. The CIO has asked the EA team to develop an architecture for this approach that supports both standardized and customized production across multiple manufacturing plants, while maintaining enterprise-wide integration and governance.
The company has an Enterprise Architecture (EA) practice and uses the TOGAF standard as the basis for its work. It has been running for many years and has established governance and development processes for EA.
The Chief Information Officer (CIO) sponsors the Enterprise Architecture program. You are part of an Enterprise Architecture (EA) team that has responsibilities across the company.
As a supplier of manufacturing systems with multiple plants, there are many interested parties that will need to be satisfied.
The Architecture Board has approved the Request for Architecture Work to find out if such an architecture transformation would lead to efficiency improvements.
Refer to the scenario
You have been assigned to lead this project and asked to outline your next steps.
Based on the TOGAF standard, which of the following is the best answer?

• A. You would conduct a series of workshops with the local partners to gather requirements from them.
  Based on the findings from the workshops, 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 the Architecture Vision to build agreement among the local partners.
• B. You would create high level views of the baseline and target Architectures for each manufacturing plant, and then a set of views corresponding to selected viewpoints to address key concerns of the stakeholders. The gap analysis results for the architectures should be reviewed and consolidated into a single list. A set of work packages should be identified. A formal stakeholder review should be held to obtain approval before moving to the Target Architecture phase.
• C. You would run multiple workshops at the manufacturing plants to discover and document business requirements. This would also help you understand the location-specific problems and identify the actors and roles at each location. You would create a matrix of stakeholders to identify key people involved and their concerns. You would then determine and record the main stakeholder requirements for the architecture. Finally, you would create clear high-level descriptions of the current and future architectures.
• D. You would run a proof-of-concept project to allow your suppliers to demonstrate candidate off-the- shelf solutions that address the concerns of the stakeholders. After looking at the results of the project, you would select the most efficient solution and use that to set the requirements. Once the re quirements are complete, there should be a formal stakeholder review, and permission requested to move forward to develop the Target Architecture.

You are the Lead Enterprise Architect at a major agribusiness company. The company ' s main annual 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.
The CEO appreciates the seriousness of the situation and has set out a change in direction that is effectively a new business for the company. There are opportunities for new products, and new markets. The company will use the fields for another harvest and will cease to process third-party lentils. Thus, the target market will change, and the end-products will be different and more varied. This is a major decision and the CEO has stated a desire to repurpose rather than replace so as to manage the risks and limit the costs.
The company has a mature Enterprise Architecture practice based in its headquarters and uses the TOGAF standard as the method and guiding framework. The practice has an established Architecture Capability, and uses iteration for architecture development. The CIO is the sponsor of the activity.
The CIO has assigned the Enterprise Architecture team to this activity. At this stage there is no shared vision, or requirements.
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?

• A. You propose that the team focus its iteration cycles on architecture development bygoing 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 thechange can be defined in a structured manner and address the requirements needed torealize the change.
• B. You propose that the priority is to understand and bring structure to the definition of thechange. The team should focus iteration cycles on a baseline first approach toarchitecture development, and then transition planning. This will identify what needs tochange in order to transition from the baseline to the target, and can be used to work outin detail what the shared vision is for the change.
• C. You propose that this engagement define the baseline Technology Architecture first inorder to assess the current infrastructure capacity and capability for the company. Thenthe focus should be on transition planning and incremental architecture deployment.This will identify requirements to ensure that the projects are sequenced in an optimalfashion so as to realize the change.
• D. You propose that the team focus on architecture definition, with emphasis on definingthe change parameters to support this new business strategy that the CEO hasidentified. Once understood, the team will be in the best position to identify therequirements, drivers, issues, and constraints for the change.
  You would ensure that thearchitecture development addresses non-functional requirements to assure that thetarget architecture is robust and secure.

You are employed as an Enterprise Architect at a large technology company with diverse business lines. The company has multiple divisions, engaged in mobile, e-commerce, cloud computing services, and a social network.
The company has an established Enterprise Architecture (EA) practice based on the TOGAF standard, including the TOGAF ADM. The EA program is sponsored by the Chief Information Officer (CIO). The use of EA has enabled the company to gain valuable insights into different parts of the business. One of the primary goals in the EA program charter is to coordinate efforts between the teams in each division. This has made sure that the mobile, e-commerce, cloud, and social media initiatives remain aligned with business strategy.
The practice has an established Architecture Capability and uses iteration for architecture development. The iterative approach is well-suited for modern digital transformation initiatives, where the company must adapt quickly to new business and market challenges. In addition to the EA program, the company uses several management frameworks, including business planning, project/portfolio management, and operations management.
The company is growing rapidly. A consequence of this rapid growth has been the proliferation of multiple IT solutions, with architecture giving way to growth. The company appears to be failing to architect its growth.
Several systems have proved unreliable with some major outages, including the e-commerce system being offline for eight hours at the start of the holiday sales period, as well as the cloud computing services outage, which took down several popular websites. The service management organization within the company has blamed the outages on misalignment of the IT solutions.
The Governing Board has raised concerns about the outages. As a consequence, the CEO has asked for better reporting and management of the IT portfolio. The task has been assigned to the EAteam, with a constraint to maintain business as usual.
Refer to the Scenario
You have been asked to assess the IT solutions to determine where problems are occurring and where change is needed.
Based on the TOGAF standard, which of the following is the best answer?

• A. The team should start an iteration cycle of target architecture definition. The team will then identify the requirements, drivers, issues, and constraints to support the change. The result will be a more resilient architecture to support definition of a set of IT solutions that will address the misalignment. You would ensure that non-functional requirements are well defined to make sure that the target architecture is robust and reliable.
• B. The team should evaluate the IT resources across the company against the operational performance data and business needs. This will include a review of availability and responsiveness. You would assess the current applications and technology infrastructure by commencing an iteration cycle following a baseline first architecture development approach. This would allow you to identify improvement opportunities and allow you to determine where misalignment is occurring.
• C. The team should commence an architecture development cycle through the architecture definition phases (B-D) with the purpose to understand the causes of the outages. This will allow the concerns of the Governing Board to be addressed through each of the Business, Information Systems, and Technology Architecture phases. This will identify the changes in a structured manner and make sure they address the requirements.
• D. The team should start an iteration cycle by defining the baseline Technology Architecture first to assess the current infrastructure capacity and capability for the company. There should be an assessment of the operational performance data. This is needed to diagnose the causes of the system outages. The results of the assessment can then be used to identify the required changes to make sure that the misalignments between solutions are removed.
