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

Question 27

Consider the following ADM phases objectives.

Which phase does each objective match?

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

Correct Answer: A

* The objectives listed in the question correspond to the objectives of different phases of the TOGAF ADM (Architecture Development Method), which is a method for developing and managing an enterprise architecture1.
* The ADM consists of nine phases, each with a specific purpose and output. The phases are1:
* Preliminary Phase: To prepare and initiate the architecture development cycle, including defining the architecture framework, principles, and governance.
* Phase A: Architecture Vision: To define the scope, vision, and stakeholders of the architecture initiative, and to obtain approval to proceed.
* Phase B: Business Architecture: To describe the baseline and target business architecture, and to identify the gaps between them.
* Phase C: Information Systems Architectures: To describe the baseline and target data and application architectures, and to identify the gaps between them.
* Phase D: Technology Architecture: To describe the baseline and target technology architecture, and to identify the gaps between them.
* Phase E: Opportunities and Solutions: To identify and evaluate the opportunities and solutions for implementing the target architecture, and to define the work packages and transition architectures.
* Phase F: Migration Planning: To finalize the implementation and migration plan, and to ensure alignment with the enterprise portfolio and project management.
* Phase G: Implementation Governance: To provide architecture oversight and guidance for the implementation projects, and to manage any architecture change requests.
* Phase H: Architecture Change Management: To monitor the changes in the business and technology environment, and to assess the impact and performance of the architecture.
* Based on the above definitions, we can match each objective with the corresponding phase as follows:
* Objective 1: Develop the Target Data Architecture that enables the Business Architecture and the Architecture Vision. This objective is achieved in Phase C: Information Systems Architectures, where the data architecture is defined as a subset of the information systems architecture2.
* Objective 2: Develop the Target Business Architecture that describes how the enterprise needs to operate to achieve the business goals. This objective is achieved in Phase B: Business Architecture, where the business architecture is defined as a subset of the enterprise architecture3.
* Objective 3: Develop a high-level aspirational vision of the capabilities and business value to be delivered as a result of the proposed Enterprise Architecture. This objective is achieved in Phase A: Architecture Vision, where the architecture vision is defined as a high-level description of the target architecture and its benefits4.
* Objective 4: Develop the Target Application Architecture that enables the Business Architecture and the Architecture Vision, in a way that addresses the Statement of Architecture Work and stakeholder concerns. This objective is achieved in Phase C: Information Systems Architectures, where the application architecture is defined as a subset of the information systems architecture2.

Question 28

Consider the following ADM phases objectives.

Which phase does each objective match?

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

Question 29

Full Scenario
You are employed as an Enterprise Architect in an Enterprise Architecture (EA) team at a food production and distribution company. The main goal of the company is to increase profit while meeting the needs of consumers for its products. Its customers want food that is produced sustainably, safely, and transparently, while reducing environmental impact.
The company has an Enterprise Architecture practice based on the TOGAF standard, using it as the method and guiding framework. The Chief Information Officer (CIO) is the sponsor of EA practice.
The business is a highly mechanized agricultural operation where business capabilities, including planting, harvesting, processing, packaging, and distribution, rely heavily on technology and machinery. The use of EA has enabled the decision makers to have valuable insights into the different aspects of the business.
The warmer climate has led to less successful farming, and the company is growing fewer crops than before.
Also, prices for energy, feed, fuel, and fertilizer have gone up. This has caused a big drop in earnings. Due to the rising costs and lower profits, the company has been unable to do as much to help the environment. It especially has struggled to reduce its carbon emissions.
In response to the situation, the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) has decided that big changes are needed, that will lead both to improved crop production and profitability. They must look to all aspects of the business.
This includes looking at the mix of crops to mitigate for the change in climate. The company will also cease to process its own crops and will sell off its processing facilities. Thus, the target market will change, and the end-products will be different and more varied. A formal request for architecture change has been approved.
At this stage there is no fixed scope, shared vision, or objectives.
Question:
What is 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.The team should use the Architecture Definition Document and work 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.
B.The team should define the baseline Technology Architecture first in order to assess the current infrastructure capacity and capability for the company. Next, the team should concentrate on transition planning and incremental architecture deployment. This will identify requirements to ensure that the projects are sequenced in an optimal fashion to realize the change.
C.The team should 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.
D.The team should work 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.
