OG0-092 Exam Question 47

Scenario:
Please read this scenario prior to answering the Question
You are serving as the Lead Enterprise Architect at a major supplier in the automotive industry. The company is headquartered in Cleveland, Ohio with manufacturing plants across the United States, Brazil, Germany, Japan and South Korea. 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 is implementing lean manufacturing principles to minimize waste and improve the efficiency of all of its production operations. During a recent exercise held for internal quality improvement, it was determined that a significant reduction in process waste could be achieved by replacing the current planning and scheduling systems with a common Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system located in the Cleveland 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. A reduced number of IT staff could support the remaining applications. In some cases, a third-party contractor could provide those staff.
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 9.
At a recent meeting, the Architecture Board approved a Request for Architecture Work sponsored by the Chief Engineer of Global Manufacturing Operations. The request covered the initial architectural investigations and the development of a comprehensive architecture to plan the transformation.
The Common ERP Deployment architecture project team has now been formed, and the project team 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 diving their planning and production scheduling from a remote centralized system. The Chief Engineer wants to know how these concerns can be addressed.
Refer to the Scenario
During the initial meeting of the Common ERP Deployment architecture project team, a number of alternative recommendations for how to proceed are put forward by members of the team.
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 TOGAF 9, which of the following is the best answer?

A.The team should develop Baseline and Target Architectures for each of the manufacturing plants, ensuring that the views corresponding to selected viewpoints address key concerns of the stakeholders. 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.

B.The team should conduct a pilot project that will enable vendors on the short list to demonstrate potential solutions that will address the concerns of the stakeholders. Based on the findings of that pilot project, a complete set of retirements will be developed that will drive the evolution of the architecture.

C.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 list. Based on the findings from the research, the team should define a preliminary Architecture Vision. The team should then use that model to build consensus among the key stakeholders.

D.The team should use stakeholder analysis to understand who has concerns about the initiative. The team should then hold a series of interviews at each of the manufacturing plants using the business scenario technique. This will then enable them to identify and document the key high-level stakeholder requirements for the architecture.

OG0-092 Exam Question 48

Scenario: AGEX Inc.
Please read this scenario prior to answering the question
AGEX is a large, global commodities trading company which has been growing rapidly through a series of acquisitions.
Each new business is performing well in its markets. However, the lack of integration between headquarters and the business units has increasingly caused problems in the handling of customer and financial information.
The inability to share information across businesses has resulted in lost opportunities to "leverage the synergies" that had been intended when the businesses were acquired. At present, each business unit maintains its own applications. Despite an earlier initiative to install a common application to manage customer, products, supplier, and inventory information, each business unit has different ways of defining each of these core elements and has customized the common application to the point where the ability to exchange information is difficult, costly, and error-prone.
As a result, AGEX has begun implementing a single Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system to consolidate information from several applications that exist across the lines of business. The Corporate Board is concerned that the new ERP system must be able to manage and safeguard customer information in a manner that meets or exceeds the legal requirements of the countries in which the company operates. This will be an increasingly important capability as the company expands its online services offered to clients and trading partners.
The CIO has formed an Enterprise Architecture department, and one of the primary goals in its charter is to coordinate efforts between the ERP implementation team and the business unit personnel who will be involved in the migration process. The CIO has also formed a cross-functional Architecture Review Board to oversee and govern the architecture.
After reviewing the available alternatives, and based on recommendations from the ERP vendor, AGEX has selected TOGAF 9 as the basis for its Enterprise Architecture program.
The CIO has endorsed this choice with the full support of top management.
Refer to the AGEX Inc. Scenario
You are serving as the Chief Architect.
As part of the process for establishing the Enterprise Architecture department, you have decided to create a set of principles to guide the activities.
You have been asked to recommend the best approach for this work.
Based on TOGAF 9, which of the following is the best answer?

A.You define a set of principles that support the preferred best practices embodied in the Enterprise Architecture department charter. You publish the principles on the corporate intranet to ensure widespread acceptance and compliance.
You then schedule regular periodic Compliance Assessments with individual business units to check that they have made satisfactory progress toward meeting the objectives and conditions embodied in the principles.

B.You gather information from credible industry sources in the commodities business. Based on that, you assess current trends and apply that to defining a set of principles that embody best practices.
You select architecture principles that do not conflict with each other and that should be stable. You ensure that all the principles are realistic and avoid including principles that are obvious.

C.You examine the mission statements for AGEX and each of its businesses, together with the corporate value statements. Based on that, you define a set of principles and review with the CIO.
When developing the principles you ensure that they actively promote the alignment of IT with the business strategies and initiatives of AGEX. You then seek the endorsement of the CIO and senior management.

D.You examine the mission statements for AGEX and each of its businesses, together with the corporate value statements. Based on that, you work with the Architecture Review Board to define the principles.
When developing the principles you ensure that they actively promote the alignment of IT with the AGEX business strategies. You then run a series of reviews with all the relevant stakeholders, including senior management, ensuring their support.

OG0-092 Exam Question 49

Magic Wand Corporation manufactures a range of equipment used by magician worldwide. The global
popularity of a series of children's books describing the formative years of a budding wizard and his various
escapades at wizard school has driven unprecedented sales growth in the magical equipment market.
The current IT systems at Magic Wand are struggling to cope with the high volumes in this growth market. The
CIO wants to persuade the board of Magic Wand Corporation to make a greater investment in the IT systems
to cope with the new higher transaction volumes. On of the key components the CIOs wants to include when
he approaches the board is a description of the current problems and how they may be addressed from an
architectural point of view.
As the High Architect of Magic Wand Corporation, the CIO has delegated the task of creating a vision for the
future Architecture to you.
Which of the following answers best describes how TOGAF recommends delivering an Architecture Vision for
the CIO?

A.Firstly, I ensure there is a Request for Architecture Work from the CIO. Then I ensure that there is
recognition for the architecture vision project by following any project management and programmed
management frameworks used within the organization. I would identify the key stakeholders and engage
with them to understand and document their concerns and high-level requirements. This would result in a
stakeholder map used to support other deliverables such as the Architecture Vision, a Communications
plan and a Statement of Architecture Work. I would then identify the business goals and strategic drivers of
the organization and define any enterprise or project specific constraints such as time and resources. I
would then define the business capabilities of the organization needed to fulfill those business goals and
drivers and their readiness for change. Once complete, I would define the scope, confirm the architecture
and business principles and develop the Architecture Vision. Following this, I would define the business
case for the architecture project, assess the business risks and produce a risk mitigation plan. I would then
define a plan of enterprise architecture work to meet the scope in the desired time line and the resources
required and secure the support of stakeholders.

B.I would start by establishing the architecture project and follow the appropriate project management
method. I would identify stakeholders their concerns and business requirements then confirm and elaborate
the business goals, business drivers and constraints. I would then evaluate the business capabilities and
readiness for business transformation and define the scope. I would then develop the architecture vision,
define the target architecture value proposition, KPIs and identify and mitigate all risks associated with the
transformation effort. Finally, I would develop an Enterprise Architecture Plan and Statement of Work and
secure approval from the relevant stakeholders.

C.I would start by ensuring there is a Request for Architecture Work from the sponsor (the CIO). I would then
create a project to define and deliver the architecture vision and the necessary outputs. The outputs include
an approved Statement of Architecture Work, refined statements of Businesses Principles, Business Goals
and Business Drivers, Architecture Principles, a Capability Assessment, a Tailored Architecture
Framework, an Architecture vision, a Communications plan. The Statement of Architecture Work needs to
be clear on the scope of architectural work, the resources needed to complete the work and amount of time
it would take to complete the work assuming the scope of architectural work is agreed and that all the
resources required are available. The final step would be to agree the Statement of Architectural Work with
stakeholders confirming the scope, schedule and confirming the availability of the necessary resources.

D.I would approach this by defining and establishing the architecture team and governance. This would be
followed by agreeing and establishing the architecture principles. I would select and customize an
architecture framework changing any terminology and selecting the right phases and customizing the
structure of content and outputs from the chosen method. Finally I would select and implement and
architecture tools. The outputs from this work would include an Organization Model for Enterprise
Architecture, a Tailored Architecture Framework including method and content, the Architecture Principles,
an initial architecture repository, restatement or references to business principles, business goals and
business driver, a request for architecture work and the governance framework.

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 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.

B.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.

C.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.

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.
