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
[Note: You should assume that the company has adopted the example set of principles that are listed and
defined in TOGAF 9, Section 23.6.]
One of the earliest initiatives in the Enterprise Architecture program was the definition of a set of architecture
principles. These now need to be updated to address the concerns raised.
You have been asked to select a set of principles most appropriate for guiding the team to define a robust
solution.
Based on TOGAF 9, which of the following is the best answer?

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.

Scenario:
Please read this scenario prior to answering the Question
Your role is that of Lead Enterprise Architect within a vacation property management firm that has been
growing through acquisition. The firm manages over 200 resort properties across North America. Many of the
resort properties use the same internal IT systems that they used before they were acquired. Until recently, the
only requirement that has been placed on each property is that they use a standard financial reporting system
to report their financial results to the headquarters on a weekly basis.
The CEO has stated his concerns about the inefficiencies of the current approach and identified the need to
change. He has defined a new strategic vision that will enhance the business by standardizing its operations
across the network to provide consolidated financial, human resources, logistics, sales and marketing, and
yield management. He has also stated that he expects results by the end of the current fiscal year.
These changes will provide the company with improved utilization of its capacity and more efficient operations.
The addition of a corporate-wide data warehouse will provide analytics that will enable the marketing group to
improve its ability to target advertising into key markets to improve yields.
The firm has a mature enterprise architecture practice and uses TOGAF 9 as the method and guiding
framework. The CIO is the sponsor of the activity.
In planning this change, the Chief Architect engaged the services of a well-known consulting firm that
specializes in business strategy. An initial study has been conducted to identify the strategic changes needed to
implement the CEO’s vision. This recently completed with approval of a strategic architecture encompassing
the entire firm, including detailed requirements and recommendations.
Based on the recommendations from the initial study, the firm has taken the decision to adopt a packaged suite
of integrated applications that is tailored to the needs of the hospitality industry.
Refer to the scenario
You have been asked by the Chief Architect to justify the best approach for architecture development to realize

Scenario:
Please read this scenario prior to answering the Question
You are serving as the Chief Architect for a large, global commodities trading company which has been growing
rapidly through a series of acquisitions.
Each 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, the company has made the decision to introduce a single enterprise-wide application to consolidate
information from several applications that exist across the lines of business. The application will be used by all
business units and accessed by suppliers through well defined interfaces.
The Corporate Board is concerned that the new application must be able to manage and safeguard confidential
customer information in a secure 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 in cooperation with its 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 implementation team and the business unit personnel who will be involved in the
migration process. The CIO has also formed a cross-functional Architecture Board to oversee and govern the
architecture. The company has an existing team of security architects.
TOGAF 9 has been selected for use for the Enterprise Architecture program. The CIO has endorsed this choice
with the full support of top management.
Refer to the Scenario
In the Preliminary Phase you need to define suitable policies and ensure that the company has the appropriate
capability to address the concerns of the Corporate Board.
Based on TOGAF 9, which of the following is the best answer?

Scenario:
Please read this scenario prior to answering the questionYou are the Lead Enterprise Architect in a company that specializes in the development of wind turbine blades
for use in large-scale commercial wind energy production systems. The company has manufacturing facilities
located in Illinois, Nebraska, and Manitoba. Each of these plants supplies a different manufacturer that builds
and sells complete systems. The turbine blades are custom engineered to meet each manufacturer’s design
specifications.
Until recently, most turbine blades were fabricated manually using molded fiber-reinforced plastics. However,
recent improvements in composite materials, coupled with enhanced automated methods for precision
application of materials during the molding process, have led to significant reduction in weight, increase in
strength, and improved blade longevity. The company has pioneered the development of a proprietary
automated process for continuous extrusion of the turbine blades. Patents have been filed to protect the
process, but certain trade secrets must be closely guarded.
The company has a mature Enterprise Architecture organization that is supported by a cross-functional
Architecture Board. The Chief Information Officer and the Chief Operating Officer co-sponsor the Enterprise
Architecture program.
TOGAF 9 and its Architecture Development Method (ADM) are used to develop the automated manufacturing
processes and systems that are used to design, manufacture, and test the blade assemblies.
Recently, a pilot architecture project was completed at a single location that defined a standard approach for
controlling the Automated Test System that is used at each plant to perform final quality assurance tests on
each completed blade assembly. The Architecture Board approved the plan for immediate implementation at
each plant.
Architecture Contracts have been developed that detail the work needed to implement and deploy the new
Automated Test System controller for each location. The Chief Engineer, sponsor of the activity, has expressed
concern that a uniform process be employed at each location to ensure consistency.
Refer to the Scenario
You have been asked to recommend the best approach to address the Chief Engineer’s concern.

You have been appointed as a consultant to the Lead Enterprise Architect of an international agricultural
company that exports bulbs, flowers and seeds worldwide. The company has its headquarters in the
Netherlands, and has sales and distribution centers in over 30 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 team 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 international operations of the company are subject to legal and regulatory requirements for each country
where they operate. The production of genetically modified seeds has governmental controls that 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 about the risks posed in this complex global environment, and as a result
has approved the expenditure of resources to establish an Enterprise Architecture program. They have
requested to be informed 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 framework for the development and evolution of the Enterprise
Architecture practice. The Preliminary Phase has been completed to establish the enterprise architecture
capability for this project.
Refer to the Scenario
You have been asked to recommend an approach that would enable the development of an architecture that

You are serving as the Lead Architect for the enterprise architecture team at the prime contractor for the
Dreadnought Unmanned Aircraft System program.
Over the course of this contract, the company has grown rapidly by acquisition and has inherited numerous
different procurement processes and related IT systems. The decision has been made to consolidate andreduce redundant procurement processes and systems. The CEO has announced that the company will seek
to leverage higher volume discounts and lower related IT support costs by instituting a preferred supplier
program.
TOGAF 9 Is used for internal Enterprise Architecture activities, with an iterative approach for executing
Architecture Development Method (ADM) projects.
At present, there are no particularly useful architectural assets related to this initiative, so all assets need to be
acquired and customized or created from scratch. The company prefers to implement commercial off the shelf
package applications with little customization. The CIO, who is the project sponsor, has stated that she is not
concerned about preserving existing processes or systems.
The architect-re development project has put in place Its Architecture Capability for this project and has started
a number of iteration cycles to develop the Architecture. Some tasks to address concerns related to the
Business Architecture have been completed. The next immediate task is to address the Information Systems
Architectures.
The Information Systems Architectures must address stakeholder concerns such as:
1. Which procurement-related business processes are supported by zero, one, or many existing applications?
2. What non-procurement applications will need to be integrated with any new procurement applications?
3. What data will need to be shared?
Refer to the Scenario

Your role is consultant to the Lead Architect within a company that manufactures a variety of small
electromechanical devices. As part of a corporate-wide Lean Manufacturing initiative, the company has defined
a strategic architecture to improve its ability to meet consumer demand and improve its ability to manage its
supply chain. The strategic architecture called for the consolidation of multiple Enterprise Resource Planning
(ERP) applications that have been operating independently in several of the divisions’ production facilities. The
goal is to replace the functionality of the existing applications with a new ERP product running as a single
instance in the company’s primary data center.
The company has a mature enterprise architecture practice and uses TOGAF 9 for the basis of its architecture
framework. In addition to the EA program, the company has a number of management frameworks in use,
including business planning, portfolio/project management, and operations management. The EA program is
sponsored by the CIO.Each division has completed the Architecture Definition documentation required to tailor and configure the
environment to meet its own specific manufacturing requirements.
The enterprise architects have analyzed the key corporate change attributes and implementation constraints. A
consolidated gap analysis has been completed which has identified the gaps across the Business, Data,
Application, and Technology domains. Based on the results of the gap analysis, the architects have reviewed
the requirements, dependencies and interoperability requirements needed to integrate the new ERP
environment into the existing environment. The architects have completed the Business Transformation
Readiness Assessment started in Phase A. Based on all of these factors they have produced a risk
assessment.
Because of the risks posed by the complexity of the current environment, it has been determined that a phased
approach is needed to implement the target architectures. The overall implementation process is estimated to
take several years.

Worldwide Mobile is a mobile telecommunications company formed through a series of mergers and
acquisitions. They are yet to fully integrate the customer service systems for the most recent acquisitions, and
as result, customer service has been a major concern for the Chief Technology Officer.
Results for the last two quarters have shown that Average Revenue Per User (ARPU) and the customer
retention (Churn) rate have fallen below the industry average. The Corporate Marketing group has published
some new finding about customer satisfaction. The customers appear to be switching to Air Light, a competitor,
because of superior customer service. WorldwideMobile actually has better coverage in nearly all markets than
Air Light, and good roaming agreement that keep rates low for business travellers. But customer satisfaction
has remained low.
The Business Strategy group and the Enterprise Architecture group have conducted a high-level project to
develop the enterprise-wide strategic plan. They have developed a business scenario which contains a good
conceptual model of what needs to be done and also identifies the key requirements. This was used in
preparing the proposal presented to the Executive Council and the Corporate Board.
The planning for the program has been underway for several months. WorldwideMobile has selected TOGAF 9
as the basis for its Enterprise Architecture.
The Corporate Board has approved funding for a multi-million Euro conversion to transition to a packaged
Customer Service System. It is anticipated that the overall program will take five years to complete, but there
are some tactical projects that can commence immediately to address the situation. The Executive Council has
stated that the program should define specific initiatives to enable each regional business units to create an
implementation of the Customer Service System. The implementation must meet the needs of the business unit
and still provide the information needed to enable major improvements to the customer.
