B.Principles
C.Concerns
D.Architecture views

Question 47

Please read this scenario prior to answering the question
You are the Lead Enterprise Architect at a major agribusiness company. The company's main 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?

A.You 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.
B.You propose that the team uses the architecture definition document and focus on architecture development starting simultaneously phases B, C and D. 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.
C.You 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.
D.You 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.

Correct Answer: D

A Request for Architecture Work is a document that describes the scope, approach, and expected outcomes of an architecture project. A Request for Architecture Work is usually initiated by the sponsor or client of the architecture work, and approved by the Architecture Board, which is a governance body that oversees the architecture work and ensures compliance with the architecture principles, standards, and goals. A Request for Architecture Work triggers 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 architecture12 An Architecture Vision is a high-level description of the desired outcomes and benefits of the proposed architecture. An Architecture Vision is the output of Phase A: Architecture Vision of the ADM cycle, which is the first phase of the architecture development. An Architecture Vision defines the scope and approach of the architecture work, and establishes the business goals and drivers that motivate the architecture work. An Architecture Vision also involves obtaining the approval and commitment of the sponsors and other key stakeholders, and initiating the Architecture Governance process3 A trade-off analysis is a technique that can be used to evaluate and compare different architecture alternatives and select the most suitable one. A trade-off analysis involves identifying the criteria and factors that are relevant to the decision, such as costs, benefits, risks, and opportunities, and assessing the strengths and weaknesses of each alternative. A trade-off analysis also involves balancing and reconciling the multiple, often conflicting, requirements and concerns of the stakeholders, and ensuring alignment with the Architecture Vision and the Architecture Principles.
Therefore, the best answer is D, because it proposes the best approach for architecture development to realize the CEO's change in direction for the company. The answer covers the Request for Architecture Work, the Architecture Vision, and the trade-off analysis techniques that are relevant to the scenario.

Question 48

Refer to the table below:

Which ADM Phase does this describe?

A.Phase A
B.Phase B
C.Preliminary Phase
D.Phase C

Question 49

Consider the following ADM phases objectives.
Objective:
1.Develop the Target Data Architecture that enables the Business Architecture and the Architecture Vision
2.Develop the Target Business Architecture that describes how the enterprise needs to operate to achieve the business goals
3.Develop a high-level aspirational vision of the capabilities and business value to be delivered as a result of the proposed Enterprise Architecture
4.Identify candidate Architecture Roadmap components based upon gaps between the Baseline and Target Technology Architectures Which phase does each objective match?

A.1B-2D-3A-4C
B.1C-2D-3B-4A
C.1C-2B-3A-4D
D.1A-2B-3C-4D

Correct Answer: C

*Phase A: Architecture Vision
oDevelop a high-level aspirational vision of the capabilities and business value to be delivered as a result of the proposed Enterprise Architecture oDefine the scope and boundaries of the architecture engagement oIdentify the key stakeholders and their concerns and expectations oDefine the Architecture Vision statement and the Architecture Definition Document oObtain approval and commitment from the sponsors and stakeholders
*Phase B: Business Architecture
oDevelop the Target Business Architecture that describes how the enterprise needs to operate to achieve the business goals oDefine the Baseline Business Architecture, if not available oPerform a gap analysis between the Baseline and Target Business Architectures oDefine candidate roadmap components for the Business Architecture oResolve impacts across the Architecture Landscape
*Phase C: Information Systems Architecture
oDevelop the Target Data Architecture that enables the Business Architecture and the Architecture Vision oDevelop the Target Application Architecture that supports the Business Architecture and the Architecture Vision oDefine the Baseline Data and Application Architectures, if not available oPerform a gap analysis between the Baseline and Target Data and Application Architectures oDefine candidate roadmap components for the Information Systems Architecture oResolve impacts across the Architecture Landscape
*Phase D: Technology Architecture
oDevelop the Target Technology Architecture that enables the Information Systems Architecture and the Architecture Vision oDefine the Baseline Technology Architecture, if not available oPerform a gap analysis between the Baseline and Target Technology Architectures oIdentify candidate Architecture Roadmap components based upon gaps between the Baseline and Target Technology Architectures oResolve impacts across the Architecture Landscape Therefore, the correct matching of the objectives and the phases is:
*1C: Develop the Target Data Architecture that enables the Business Architecture and the Architecture Vision
*2B: Develop the Target Business Architecture that describes how the enterprise needs to operate to achieve the business goals
*3A: Develop a high-level aspirational vision of the capabilities and business value to be delivered as a result of the proposed Enterprise Architecture
*4D: Identify candidate Architecture Roadmap components based upon gaps between the Baseline and Target Technology Architectures References: 1: The TOGAF Architecture Development Method
