Question 21

Please read this scenario prior to answering the question
You are the Chief Enterprise Architect at a large food service company specializing in sales to trade and wholesale, for example, restaurants and other food retailers.
One of your company's competitors has launched a revolutionary product range and is running a very aggressive marketing campaign. Your company's resellers are successively announcing that they are not interested in your company's products and will sell your competitor's.
The CEO has stated there must be significant change to address the situation. He has made it clear that new markets must be found for the company's products, and that the business needs to pivot, and address the retail market as well as the existing wholesale market.
A consideration is the company's ability and willingness to change its business model, and if it is a temporary or permanent change. An additional risk factor is one of culture. The company has been used to a stable business with a reasonably well known and settled client base - all with its own local understandings and practices.
The CEO is the sponsor of the EA program within the company. You have been engaged with the sales, logistics, production, and marketing teams, enabling the architecture activity to start. An Architecture Vision, Architecture Principles, and Requirements have all been agreed. As you move forward to develop a possible Target Architecture you have identified that some of the key stakeholders' preferences are incompatible. The incompatibilities are focused primarily on time-to-market, cost savings, and the need to bring out a fully featured product range, but there are additional factors.
Refer to the scenario
You have been asked how you will address the incompatibilities between key stakeholder preferences.
Based on the TOGAF standard which of the following is the best answer?

A.You would seek to understand value preferences and priorities of the stakeholders. You woulddevelop alternative Target Architectures, highlighting the gaps between current state and thealternatives. You would consider combining features from one or more alternatives in collaborationwith the stakeholders.
A formal stakeholder review should then be held to decidewhich alternative isfit for purpose and should be moved forward with. You will then secure the funding required.
B.You recommend that since the CEO has stated that the company must pivot, it is better tocompromise on a full product range rather than time-to-market. You would develop just enough of theTarget Architecture to demonstrate fitness of the proposed approach. You would limit the descriptionto just where there is a gap between the current baseline. You would seek approval by thestakeholders to move forward with developing the Target Architecture in detail.
C.You would use the Architecture Vision, Principles, and Requirements to define a set of criteria foralternatives and create a set of architecture views to illustrate the impact of the alternative TargetArchitectures. You would identify the impact on planned projects. You would understand the strengthsand weaknesses of the alternatives. You would conduct a formal stakeholder review to decide whichalternative to move forward with. You will determine the funding required.
D.You would review the Stakeholder Map and ensure that you have addressed and represented theconcerns of all department heads. You will involve them in resolving the incompatibilities.TheCommunications Plan should include a report that summarizes the key features of the architecturewith and how incompatibilities were resolved to reflects the stakeholders' requirements.You willcheck with each key stakeholder they are satisfied with how the incompatibilities have been resolved.

A.Solutions Architectures to Solution Building Blocks
B.generic architectures to reusable Solution Building Blocks
C.Foundation Architectures to re-usable architecture assets
D.generic architectures to Organization-Specific Architectures

Question 25

Exhibit

Consider the illustration showing an architecture development cycle Which description matches the phase of the ADM labeled as item 1?

A.Conducts implementation planning for the architecture defined in previous phases
B.Provides architectural oversight for the implementation
C.Operates the process of managing architecture requirements
D.Establishes procedures for managing change to the new architecture

Correct Answer: C

Explanation
The illustration shows an architecture development cycle based on 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.
In addition to these phases, there is a central process called Requirements Management, which is labeled as item 1 in the illustration. This process operates throughout the ADM cycle, and its purpose is to manage the architecture requirements throughout the architecture development, ensuring that they are aligned with the business requirements and the stakeholder concerns2.
Therefore, the description that matches the phase of the ADM labeled as item 1 is C. Operates the process of managing architecture requirements.
