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 and reduce 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
[Note: You may need to refer to TOGAF 9 Chapter 35 in order to answer this question.]
You have been asked to identify the most appropriate catalogs, matrices, and diagrams for this
situation.
Based on TOGAF 9, which of the following is the best answer?

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 addresses the needs of the Governing Board, legal staff, auditors and the research
organization.

You 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 crossfunctional Architecture Board. The Chief Information Officer and the Chief Operating Officer cosponsor 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.

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.

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.

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
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, welldeveloped 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.

You have been assigned the role of Lead Enterprise Architect for a manufacturing firm that
specializes in musical instruments. The firm has been established for over 100 years, operating in
North America for most of that time. In the last ten years, the firm has expanded into European
markets and will soon establish a market in Latin America. A future expansion into the Asia Pacific
region is also planned.
The firm is organized into several business units that each focus on manufacturing particular families
of instruments such as brass, woodwind, and percussion. Each business unit has acquired other
producers to expand its manufacturing capacity. This has resulted in a complex environment with a
high diversity of business and manufacturing systems.
The Enterprise Architecture (EA) program within the firm has been functioning for several years. It
has made significant progress in consolidating the technology portfolio and establishing key
standards. The CIO and the COO are pint sponsors of the EA program. The EA program is mature,
with an active Architecture Board and a well-defined architecture process and standard content
templates based on the TOGAF 9 Architecture Content Framework. The EA process framework is
well coordinated with the PMO, Systems Development, and Operations functions.

The firm has completed a strategic plan to reorganize its Sales & Marketing organization according
to the four target geographic markets. One of the goals of this reorganization is to improve the
ability of Marketing to collect more meaningful market analytics that will enable each sector to
better address market needs with effective marketing campaigns and global product presence.
A Request for Architecture Work to address the goals of the reorganization has been approved. As
the architecture team commences its work, the CIO has expressed concerns about whether the firm
will be able to adapt to the proposed architecture and how to manage the associated risks.
Refer to the Scenario
You have been asked how to address the concerns of the CIO.

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.
