Question21: Scenario
Please read this scenario prior to answering the Question
You are serving as the Lead Architect for an insurance company, which has been formed through the
merger of three previously independent companies. The company now consists of three divisions with the
same names and division headquarters as their predecessors.
The lack of integration between the three divisions has increasingly caused problems in the handling of
customer and financial information. The inability to share information has resulted in lost opportunities to
leverage the synergies that should have been possible as a result of the merger. At present, each division
maintains its own applications. Despite an earlier initiative to install a common application to manage
customer, products, and claims information, each division has different ways of defining these core
elements and has customized the common application to the point where the ability to exchange
information is difficult, costly, and error-prone.
As a result, the company has made the decision to introduce a common web portal, contact center
software suite, and document management system. Also the company has selected a single enterprise-
wide customer relationship management (CRM) application to consolidate information from several
applications that exist across the divisions. The application will be used by each of the divisions and
accessed by third party partners through well defined interfaces.
The Corporate Board is concerned that the new application must be able to manage and safeguard
confidential customer information in a secure manner that meets or exceeds the legal requirements of the
countries in which the company operates. This will be an increasingly important capability as the company
expands its online services in cooperation with its partners.
The CIO has formed an Enterprise Architecture department, and one of the primary goals in its charter is
to coordinate efforts between the implementation team and the migration teams in each division. The CIO
has also formed a cross-functional Architecture Board to oversee and govern the architecture. The
company has an existing team of security architects.
TOGAF 9 has been selected as the core framework for use for the Enterprise Architecture program. The
CIO has endorsed this choice with the full support of top management.
Refer to the Scenario
As part of the process for establishing the Enterprise Architecture department, you are developing a set of
architecture principles to guide the activities.
You need to recommend the best approach for this work.
Based on TOGAF, which of the following is the best answer?

Question22: Complete the sentence. The Business Transformation Readiness Assessment technique is
primarily focused on ___

Please read this scenario prior to answering the Question
You are serving as the Lead Architect for the enterprise architecture team at the prime contractor for the
Dreadnought Unmanned Aircraft System program.
Over the course of this contract, the company has grown rapidly by acquisition and has inherited
numerous different procurement processes and related IT systems. The decision has been made to
consolidate and reduce redundant procurement processes and systems. The CEO has announced that the
company will seek to leverage higher volume discounts and lower related IT support costs by instituting a
preferred supplier program.
TOGAF 9 Is used for internal Enterprise Architecture activities, with an iterative approach for executing
Architecture Development Method (ADM) projects.
At present, there are no particularly useful architectural assets related to this initiative, so all assets need
to be acquired and customized or created from scratch. The company prefers to implement commercial off
the shelf package applications with little customization. The CIO, who is the project sponsor, has stated
that she is not concerned about preserving existing processes or systems.
The architect-re development project has put in place Its Architecture Capability for this project and has
started a number of iteration cycles to develop the Architecture. Some tasks to address concerns related
to the Business Architecture have been completed. The next immediate task is to address the Information
Systems Architectures.
The Information Systems Architectures must address stakeholder concerns such as:
1. Which procurement-related business processes are supported by zero, one, or many existing
applications?
2. What non-procurement applications will need to be integrated with any new procurement applications?
3. What data will need to be shared?
Refer to the Scenario
[Note: You may need to refer to TOGAF 9 Chapter 35 in order to answer this question.]

function within an enterprise?

Question30: Scenario:
Please read this scenario prior to answering the Question
You are serving as the Chief Architect for a large, global commodities trading company which has been
growing rapidly through a series of acquisitions.
Each business is performing well in its markets. However, the lack of integration between headquarters
and the business units has increasingly caused problems in the handling of customer and financial
information. The inability to share information across businesses has resulted in lost opportunities to
"leverage the synergies" that had been intended when the businesses were acquired. At present, each
business unit maintains its own applications. Despite an earlier initiative to install a common application to
manage customer, products, supplier, and inventory information, each business unit has different ways of
defining each of these core elements and has customized the common application to the point where the
ability to exchange information is difficult, costly, and error-prone.
As a result, the company has made the decision to introduce a single enterprise-wide application to
consolidate information from several applications that exist across the lines of business. The application
will be used by all business units and accessed by suppliers through well defined interfaces.
The Corporate Board is concerned that the new application must be able to manage and safeguard
confidential customer information in a secure manner that meets or exceeds the legal requirements of the
countries in which the company operates. This will be an increasingly important capability as the company
expands its online services in cooperation with its trading partners.
The CIO has formed an Enterprise Architecture department, and one of the primary goals in its charter is
to coordinate efforts between the implementation team and the business unit personnel who will be
involved in the migration process. The CIO has also formed a cross-functional Architecture Board to
oversee and govern the architecture. The company has an existing team of security architects.
TOGAF 9 has been selected for use for the Enterprise Architecture program. The CIO has endorsed this
choice with the full support of top management.
Refer to the Scenario
In the Preliminary Phase you need to define suitable policies and ensure that the company has the
appropriate capability to address the concerns of the Corporate Board.
Based on TOGAF 9, which of the following is the best answer?

Question31: According to TOGAF, which of the following best describes the classification of architectural change in the
case where multiple server systems are being consolidated to a single system?

Question32: Scenario:
Please read this scenario prior to answering the Question
You are the Lead Architect for a firm that manufactures ball bearings used in industrial equipment
applications. They have manufacturing operations in several cities in the United States, Germany, and the
United Kingdom.
The firm has traditionally allowed each manufacturing plant to drive its own production planning systems.
Each plant has its own custom Materials Requirements Planning, Master Production Scheduling, Bill of
Materials, and Shop Floor Control systems.
"Just In Time" manufacturing techniques are used to minimize wastes caused by excessive inventory and
work in process. The increasingly competitive business environment has compelled the firm to improve its
business capability to be more responsive to the needs of industrial customers. To support this capability,
the firm has decided to implement an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) solution that will enable it to
better coordinate its manufacturing capacity to match the demands for its products across all plants. In
addition, there are also new European regulations coming into force to which their manufacturing
processes must conform in the next six months.
As part of the implementation process, the Enterprise Architecture (EA) department has begun to
implement an architecture process based on TOGAF 9. The CIO is the sponsor of the activity. The Chief
Architect has directed that the program should include formal modeling using the Architecture Content
Framework and the TOGAF Content Metamodel. This will enable support for the architecture tooling that
the firm uses for its EA program.
The Chief Architect has stated that in order to model the complex manufacturing process it will be
necessary to model processes that are event-driven. Also, in order to consolidate applications across
several data centers it will be necessary to model the location of IT assets. In particular, the end goal is to
have the single ERP application running in a single data center.
Currently the project is in the Preliminary Phase, and the architects are tailoring the Architecture
Development Method (ADM) and Architecture Content Framework to fit into the corporate environment.
Refer to the Scenario
You have been asked to recommend a response to the Chief Architect's request to tailor the TOGAF
Content Metamodel.

Your role is consultant to the Lead Architect within a company that manufactures a variety of small
electromechanical devices. As part of a corporate-wide Lean Manufacturing initiative, the company has
defined a strategic architecture to improve its ability to meet consumer demand and improve its ability to
manage its supply chain. The strategic architecture called for the consolidation of multiple Enterprise
Resource Planning (ERP) applications that have been operating independently in several of the divisions'
production facilities. The goal is to replace the functionality of the existing applications with a new ERP
product running as a single instance in the company's primary data center.
The company has a mature enterprise architecture practice and uses TOGAF 9 for the basis of its
architecture framework. In addition to the EA program, the company has a number of management
frameworks in use, including business planning, portfolio/project management, and operations
management. The EA program is sponsored by the CIO.
Each division has completed the Architecture Definition documentation required to tailor and configure the
environment to meet its own specific manufacturing requirements.
The enterprise architects have analyzed the key corporate change attributes and implementation
constraints. A consolidated gap analysis has been completed which has identified the gaps across the
Business, Data, Application, and Technology domains. Based on the results of the gap analysis, the
architects have reviewed the requirements, dependencies and interoperability requirements needed to
integrate the new ERP environment into the existing environment. The architects have completed the
Business Transformation Readiness Assessment started in Phase A.
Based on all of these factors they
have produced a risk assessment.
Because of the risks posed by the complexity of the current environment, it has been determined that a
phased approach is needed to implement the target architectures. The overall implementation process is
estimated to take several years.

Please read this scenario prior to answering the question
The ABC company is a major supplier in the automotive industry, headquartered in Cleveland, Ohio with
manufacturing plants in Chicago, Sao Paulo, Stuttgart, Yokohama, and Seoul. Each of these plants has
been operating its own planning and production scheduling systems, as well as custom developed
applications that drive the automated production equipment at each plant.
The company is implementing lean manufacturing principles to minimize waste and improve the efficiency
of all of its production operations. During a recent exercise held for internal quality improvement, it was
determined that a significant reduction in process waste could be achieved by replacing the current
planning and scheduling systems with a common Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system located in
the Cleveland data center. This central system would provide support to each of the plants replacing the
functionality in the existing systems. It would also eliminate the need for full data centers at each of the
plant facilities. A reduced number of IT staff could support the remaining applications. In some cases, a
third-party contractor could provide those staff.
The company Enterprise Architecture department has been operating for several years and has mature,
well-developed architecture governance and development processes that are strongly based on TOGAF 9.
At a recent meeting, the Architecture Review Board approved a Request for Architecture Work from the
Chief Engineer of Global Manufacturing Operations who is the project sponsor. The request covered the
initial architectural investigations and the development of a comprehensive architecture to plan the
transformation.
The Common ERP Deployment architecture project team has now been formed, and the project team has
been asked to develop an Architecture Vision that will achieve the desired outcomes and benefits. Some
of the plant managers have expressed concern about the security and reliability of driving their planning
and production scheduling from a central system located in Cleveland. The Chief Engineer wants to know
how these concerns can be addressed.
Refer to the Scenario
You are serving as the Lead Enterprise Architect of the newly-formed Common ERP Deployment
architecture project team.
As the Common ERP Deployment architecture project team assembles for its initial meeting, many of the
participants have voiced concerns about the sweeping scope of the initiative. Others are confident that
they know a solution that will work. During the meeting, a number of alternative recommendations for how
to proceed are put forward by members of the team.
You have been asked to select the most appropriate recommendation to ensure that the team evaluates
different approaches to the problem and clarifies the requirements for the architecture.

and manufactures memory chips. A characteristic feature of its processors is their low electric power
consumption, which makes them particularly suitable for use in portable devices. As well as licensing its
technology, the company has several manufacturing divisions.
The company has a mature enterprise architecture practice and uses TOGAF 9 for the basis of its
architecture framework. In addition to the EA program, the company has a number of management
frameworks in use, including business planning, portfolio/project management, and operations
management. The EA program is sponsored by the CIO.
The company has defined a strategic architecture to improve its ability to meet customer demand and
improve its ability to manage its supply chain. The strategic architecture called for the consolidation of
multiple Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) applications that have been operating independently in the
divisions' production facilities. The goal is to replace the functionality of the existing applications with a new
ERP product running as a single instance in the company's primary data center.
Each division has completed the Architecture Definition documentation required to tailor and configure the
environment to meet its own specific manufacturing requirements.
The enterprise architects have analyzed the key corporate change attributes and implementation
constraints. A consolidated gap analysis has been completed which has identified the gaps across the
Business, Data, Application, and Technology domains. Based on the results of the gap analysis, the
architects have reviewed the requirements, dependencies and interoperability requirements needed to
integrate the new ERP environment into the existing environment. The architects have completed the
Business Transformation Readiness Assessment started in Phase A.
Based on all of these factors they
have produced a risk assessment. They have also completed the Implementation and Migration Plan v0.1,
the draft Architecture Roadmap, and the Capability Assessment deliverables.
Because of the risks posed by the complexity of the current environment, it has been determined that a
phased approach is needed to implement the target architectures. The overall implementation process is

Your role is that of a consultant to the Lead Enterprise Architect in a company that develops wind turbines
for use in wind farms. The company has three manufacturing facilities, one in North America, one in Asia,
and one in Europe. Each of these facilities supplies the power industry in its region.
The company recognizes that the long-term technical potential of wind energy can address the current
global dependency on carbon fuels. In order to do so this will require wind turbines to be installed over
large areas of higher wild resources. In particular offshore wind farms can contribute substantially more
energy than land stationed trubines.
The research arm of the company has pioneered the development of an offshore wind turbine design, with
an improved turbine blade and power system that will produce up to 20% more energy. This will allow the
production of significantly more saleable energy. This new design is ready to go into production.
The company has a mature Enterprise Architecture organization that is supported by a cross-functional
Architecture Board and uses the TOGAF standard. The Chief Information Officer and the Chief Operating
Officer co-sponsor the Enterprise Architecture program.
Recently, a pilot architecture project was completed at a single location that defined a standard approach
for controlling the Automated Test System that is used at each plant to perform final quality assurance
tests on each completed blade assembly. The Architecture Board approved the plan for immediate
implementation at each plant.
Architecture Contracts have been developed that detail the work needed to implement and deploy the new
Automated Test System controller for each location. The Chief Engineer, sponsor of the activity, has
expressed concern that a uniform process be employed at each location to ensure consistency.

must address key stakeholders' concerns such as:
1. What groups of people should be involved in procurement-related business processes?
2. What current applications do those groups use?
3. Which procurement-related business processes are supported by zero, one, or many existing
applications?
4. What are the overall lifetimes of the Request for Proposal and Purchase Order business objects? What
non-procurement applications will need to be integrated with any new procurement applications?
5. What data will need to be shared?
At present, there are no particularly useful architectural assets related to this initiative, so all assets need
to be acquired and customized or created from scratch. The company prefers to implement existing
package applications from systems vendors with little customization.
