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.
Based on TOGAF 9, which of the following is the best answer?

• A.You recommend that the architecture team incorporate the Process Modeling and Infrastructure Consolidation extensions into their tailored Content Metamodel. As the environment is process-centric this will enable them to model the manufacturing processes and store information to support regulatory compliance. It also includes views useful for managing the consolidation of applications into a single data center.
• B.You recommend that the architecture team incorporate the Process Modeling and Governance extensions into their tailored Content Metamodel. This is suitable as this is a significant IT change that will impact its operational models. This will ensure that they include specific entities and attributes that will allow them to model the event-driven nature of the manufacturing processes more precisely.
• C.You recommend that the architecture team incorporates the Governance and Motivation Extensions into their tailored Content Metamodel. This would allow modeling of the target milestones they want to achieve with this consolidation of application to a single data center. These extensions will also enable demonstration of regulatory compliance for the manufacturing process.
• D.You recommend that the architecture team incorporates the Data and Services Extensions into their tailored Content Metamodel. This would allow modeling of the location of IT assets and ensure regulatory compliance for the manufacturing process. It will also allow for identification of redundant duplication of capability which will be needed for a successful consolidation to a single data center.

Scenario:
Please read this scenario prior to answering the Question
You have been assigned the role of Chief Enterprise Architect within a leading North American information
technology services company. The company has a number of service portfolios including infrastructure,
applications, business process outsourcing, accounting, and financial services.
With numerous practice areas and a multitude of diverse engagements underway at any given time,
overall engagement management within the company has become challenging. The company does not
want to risk its outstanding reputation or its international certifications and CMM ratings.
The Chief Executive Officer and Chief Information Officer have co-sponsored the creation of an Enterprise
Architecture prog-am based on TOGAF 9. An Architecture Board has been formed comprised of IT staff
executives and executives from the major practice areas.
The Enterprise Architecture team has been working with the Strategic Planning team to create a strategic
enterprise architecture to address these issues. The team has defined a framework and held workshops
with key stakeholders to define a set of architecture principles to govern the architecture work. They have
completed an Architecture Vision at a strategic level and laid out Architecture Definitions for the four
domains. They have set out an ambitious vision of the future of the company over a five-year period. This
includes a solution architecture including three distinct transformations.
The CIO has made it clear that prior to the approval of the detailed Implementation and Migration plan, the
EA team will need to assess the risks associated with the proposed architecture. He has received
concerns from some of the senior partners that the proposed architecture may be too ambitious and they
are not sure it can produce sufficient value to warrant the attendant risks.
Refer to the Scenario
You have been asked to recommend an approach to satisfy these concerns.
Based on TOGAF 9, which of the following is the best answer?

• A.You recommend that before preparing the detailed Implementation and Migration plan, the EA team
  should review and consolidate the gap analysis results from Phases B to D to understand the
  transformations that are required to achieve the proposed Target Architecture. The EA team should
  assess the readiness of the organization to undergo change. Once the Solution Architecture has been
  assembled, it should be analyzed using a state evolution table to determine the Transition
  Architectures.
• B.You recommend that the EA team should gather information about potential solutions from the
  appropriate sources. Once the Solution Architecture has been assembled, it should be analyzed using
  a state evolution table to determine the Transition Architectures. A value realization process should
  then be established to ensure that the concerns raised are addressed.
• C.You recommend that the EA team apply an interoperability analysis to evaluate any potential issues
  across the Solution Architecture. This should include the development of a matrix showing the
  interoperability retirements. Once all of the concerns have been resolved, the EA team should finalize
  the Architecture Roadmap and the Implementation and Migration Plan.
• D.You recommend that the EA team apply the Business Transformation Readiness Assessment
  technique which will allow the risks associated with the transformations to be identified and mitigated
  for, it will also identify improvement actions to be worked into the Implementation and Migration Plan. A
  Business Value Assessment should be used to determine the business value and associated risks for
  the transformation.
