NEW QUESTION 16

Scenario:
Please read this scenario prior to answering the question
The ABC company is an international agricultural company exporting bulbs, flowers and seeds worldwide. It is headquartered in Rotterdam in the Netherlands, and has sales and distribution centers in over 60 countries worldwide. Several of these centers include administrative, manufacturing, and research facilities.
To achieve full integration of their research capabilities with their development centers located in various climate zones, the company wants to develop strong self-directed teams in each location. It also wants to define new business models that are profitable while reducing their impact on the environment. The management is deeply committed to ensuring that the company is a world leader in socially responsible seed development with a business strategy that focuses on profitability through environmentally friendly operating processes.
The company international operations are subject to various legal and regulatory requirements. In areas such as genetically modified seeds, governmental controls are strictly enforced and compliance is critical. Recently a competitor was heavily fined for violating the regulations in a country where it was developing pest-resistant seeds.
The Governing Board is concerned, and as a result has approved the expenditure of resources to establish an Enterprise Architecture program. They have requested information about the status of projects that could impact regulatory compliance. They also want to enable the corporate legal staff and auditors to analyze proposed architectures to ensure that they are within the legal guidelines for a given location. In addition, the research organization should be able to see that the architecture is appropriate for its needs. TOGAF 9 has been mandated as the guiding framework for the development and evolution of the Enterprise Architecture practice.
Refer to the Scenario
You have been appointed as the Lead Consultant.
You have been asked to recommend an approach that would enable the development of an architecture that addresses the needs of all these parties.
Based on TOGAF 9, which of the following is the best answer?

• A. Depending on the nature of the architecture, a set of models should be created that can be used to ensure that the system will be compliant with the local regulation
• B. Stakeholders should be able to view the models to see that their concerns have been properly addressed.
• C. Each architecture activity should be developed using a consistent modeling approach that is uniform across all architecture project
• D. Each architecture should be defined based on this fixed set of models so that all concerned parties can examine the models to ensure that their issues and concerns have been addressed,
• E. A stakeholder map should be developed that allows the architects to define groups of stakeholders sharing common concern
• F. A set of views should then be defined that addresses the concerns for each group- Architecture models can then be created for each view to address the stakeholders' concerns.
• G. For those groups that have sufficient power and level of interest, a special report should be created that summarizes the key features of the architecture with respect to the particular locatio
• H. Each of these reports should reflect the stakeholders' requirements.

Answer: A

NEW QUESTION 17

Scenario:
Please read this scenario prior to answering the question
Your role is that of the Lead Enterprise Architect at a multinational automotive corporation. The company is headquartered in Germany, and manufactures cars, trucks and buses. It has manufacturing plants across North America, South America, Europe and Asia. 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 has an ongoing initiative to improve the efficiency of all of its production operations, and in particular to reduce its carbon footprint. During a recent exercise held for internal quality improvement, it was determined that a significant reduction in energy usage could be achieved by replacing the current planning and scheduling systems with a common Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system located in one central 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.
The 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 standard.
At a recent meeting, the Architecture Board approved a Request for Architecture Work sponsored by the global CIO. The request covered the initial architectural investigations and the development of a comprehensive architecture to plan the transformation.
The architecture project team has now been formed, and 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 remote centralized system. The CIO wants to know how these concerns can be addressed. During the initial project team meeting a number of alternative recommendation for how to proceed have been put forward by members of the team.
Refer to the Scenario
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.
Based on the TOGAF standard, which of the following is the best answer?

• A. The team should exercise due diligence and carefully research vendor literature and conduct a series of briefings with vendors that are on the current approved supplier lis
• B. Based on the findings from the research, the tam should define a preliminary Architecture Visio
• C. The team should then use that model to build consensus among the key stakeholders.
• D. The team should identify the individuals and groups within the organization who will contribute to the project in order to understand who has concerns about the initiativ
• E. The team should then hold a series of interviews at each of the manufacturing plants using the business scenario techniqu
• F. This will then enable them to identify and document the key high-level stakeholder requirements for the architecture.
• G. The team should utilize its approved supplier list, and conduct a pilot project that will enable those suppliers to demonstrate potential solutions that will address the concerns of the stakeholder
• H. Based on the findings of that pilot project, a complete set of requirements will be developed that will drive the evolution of the architecture.
• I. The team should perform a shallow architecture development iteration, developing Baseline and Target Architecture for each of the manufacturing plant
• J. This should include development of a set of views corresponding to selected viewpoints that address key concerns of the stakeholder
• K. A consolidated gap analysis between the architectures will then be used to validate the approach and determine the capability increments needed to achieve the target state.

Answer: B
