Scenario Please read this scenario prior to answering the Question You are serving as the
Lead Architect for the enterprise architecture team at a large multinational aerospace and
defense company. The company has grown rapidly by acquisition and has inherited
numerous different procurement processes and related IT systems. Several procurement
processes have had problems related to the timing of purchases, which has led to excess
inventory. The Vice President in charge of Supply Chain Management has made the
decision to consolidate and reduce redundant procurement processes and systems. The
company will move to a “Just-in-time” procurement system so as to keep inventory costs
low. TOGAF 9 is used for internal Enterprise Architecture activities. This project is using an
iterative approach for executing the Architecture Development Method (ADM). At present,

there are no particularly useful architectural assets in the Architecture Repository that are
related to this initiative. All assets will need to be acquired, 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 the existing procurement processes or systems. The
architecture development project has completed the Preliminary Phase and has started a
number of iteration cycles to develop the Architecture. As a packaged application is being
considered, the next iteration will include both the Business and Application Architectures.
Key stakeholder concerns that should be addressed by these architectures include: 1. What
groups of people should be involved in procurement-related business processes? 2. What
are the overall lifetimes of the Request for Proposal and Purchase Order business objects?
3. What non-procurement applications will need to be integrated with any new procurement
applications? Refer to the Scenario [Note: You may need to refer to Chapter 35 of the
reference text in order to answer this question.] You have been asked to identify the most
appropriate catalogs, matrices, and diagrams to support the next iteration of Architecture
development. Based on TOGAF, which of the following is the best answer?

Scenario Please read this scenario prior to answering the Question Your role is that of Lead
Enterprise Architect within the staff headquarters of a large hotel chain. The chain manages
over 500 hotels across North America and Canada, with another 230 hotels internationally
in the United Kingdom, Europe, Australia and New Zealand. Unlike other hotel chains,
which are often a mix of companyowned and franchised units, each hotel in the chain is an
independently owned and operated franchise. Many of the hotels use the same internal IT
systems that they used before they joined the franchise. Until recently, the only requirement
that has been placed on each hotel is that they use a standard financial reporting system to
report their financial results to the headquarters on a weekly basis. The CEO of the chain
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
providing its franchisees new support services including worldwide reservations, global,
national and regional marketing as well as consolidated financial, logistics, and yield
management. This strategy is part of the long-term commitment to enhance the brand
image and drive superior revenue for the chain. He has also stated that he expects
improved financial results by the end of the current fiscal year. These changes will provide
the chain 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 national and regional markets to
improve yields. The chain has a mature enterprise architecture practice based in its
headquarters 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 chain,
including detailed requirements and recommendations. Based on the recommendations
from the initial study, the chain 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 propose the best approach for
architecture development to realize the CEO’s vision. Based on TOGAF, which of the
following is the best answer?

Scenario Please read this scenario prior to answering the Question Your role is consultant
to the Lead Architect within a multinational semiconductor and software design company. Its
largest business is in processors, although it also designs system-on-a-chip infrastructure
and manufactures memory chips. A characteristic feature of its processors is their low
electric power consumption, which makes them particularly suitable for use In portable
devices. As well as licensing its technology, the company has several manufacturing
divisions. 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. The
company has defined a strategic architecture to improve its ability to meet customer
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 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. 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. They have also
completed the Implementation and Migration Plan v0.1, the draft Architecture Roadmap,
and the Capability Assessment deliverables. 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. Refer to the Scenario You have been asked to recommend the next steps to
prepare the final Implementation and Migration Plan. Based on TOGAF, which of the
following is the best answer?

Scenario Please read this scenario prior to answering the Question You are serving as the
Lead Architect for an insurance company, which has been formed through the merger of
three previously independent companies. The company now consists of three divisions with
the same names and division headquarters as their predecessors. The lack of integration
between the three divisions has increasingly caused problems in the handling of customer
and financial information. The inability to share information has resulted in lost opportunities
to “leverage the synergies” that had been intended when the company was formed. At
present, each division maintains its own applications. Despite an earlier initiative to install a
common application to manage customer, products, and claims Information, each division
has different ways of defining 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 common web
portal, contact center software suite, and document management system. Also the company
has selected a single enterprise-wide customer relationship management (CRM) application
to consolidate information from several applications that exist across the divisions. The
application will be used by each of the divisions and accessed by third party partners
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 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 migration teams in each division. 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 as
the core framework 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,
which of the following is the best answer?

Scenario Please read this scenario prior to answering the Question You are working as a
consultant to the Chief Architect at a government agency responsible for securing all
government communications and information systems. The agency has recently received

funding for a program that will upgrade the reliability and performance of its secure
communication systems which provide real-time, highly secure communication of voice,
video, and message data to remote locations around the world. The agency has an
established enterprise architecture (EA) capability based on TOGAF 9. The Executive
Director of the agency is the sponsor of the EA capability. Since reliable, high-performance,
and secure communications are essential to preserving national security, the Executive
Director has placed more stringent requirements for the architecture for the upgraded
system. It must be able to provide assurance and verification of specific performance
measures on the key services that are most crucial for system operation. Focusing on these
service-level details and specific measurements will allow more stringent requirements to be
enforced in service contracts. It will also provide a high degree of assurance that necessary
performance is being delivered and that notifications will occur if any critical service fails to
perform as required. A portion of the program budget has been allocated to context a review
of the EA . The scope of the review is to evaluate the processes, content and governance of
the EA capability to ensure that the higher target performance and service levels required
by the upgraded system can be achieved. The Chief Architecture has noted that the core
EA artifacts that have been used since TOGAF 9 was introduced are not adequate to
describe these new capabilities. The artifacts do not have explicit provisions for defining the
in-depth measurement requirements regarding specific services required for the system.
She has learned that certain services within the current system have service measurement
implementations that match some of the new requirements, but they are only used in a few
areas. Recent EA efforts at another national agency have produced generalized
high-performance communication system models to realize similar requirements in a critical
defense system involving secure communications. It is possible that these models may be
useful for the upgrade program. Refer to the Scenario You have been asked to make
recommendations for tailoring the Architecture Content Metamodel to accommodate the
requirements of the upgraded system. Based on TOGAF, which of the following is the best
answer?

Scenario Please read this scenario prior to answering the question Your role is that of the
Lead Architect working for a government agency responsible for immigration, customs, and
border control. The agency was formed by consolidating several smaller government
agencies. The agency has established an Enterprise Architecture practice based on TOGAF
9. The CIO is the executive sponsor and has appointed an EA steering team to oversee the
practice. There has been a considerable increase in security requirements and immigration
service requests in recent years, which have expanded the scope and size of the operations
of the agency. As a result, the existing Information Technology architecture no longer meets
the required service levels. A significant Enterprise Architecture (EA) initiative is in progress
with the opal to improve customer responsiveness and satisfaction, and improve the overall
operational efficiency of the agency. The current EA staff members were internal
appointments based on a request from the EA steering team to supply a number of suitable
individuals for the EA effort. Collectively, they possess a broad range of IT and business
analysis skills. However, the CIO has expressed concern about the diverse range of
experience within the team. There is concern that the EA staff may be lacking in some of
the critical skills that are required to properly conduct EA activities. It had been assumed
that any EA-related skill gaps would be overcome by on-the-job mentoring from the senior
members of the EA staff. Each architect was expected to attend a TOGAF training course
and participate in other skill development activities. A recent review of the EA program
revealed that many EA staff members, despite attending multiday training courses, were not
proficient in analyzing or creating the models and artifacts required for their assigned
architecture projects. Stakeholders have observed errors and inconsistencies in artifacts
and deliverables being submitted for review. Refer to the Scenario The CIO has asked you
to recommend a professional development plan for the EA staff in order to address the
findings raised in the recent review. Based on TOGAF, which of the following is the best
answer?

Scenario Please read this scenario prior to answering the Question You are serving as the
Lead Architect for an enterprise architecture project team within a leading multinational
pharmaceutical and medical devices manufacturer. Its brands include numerous household
names for medications and first aid supplies. The company has a long history of innovating
new treatments for many common illnesses and diseases. Prior to launching a new
treatment, the company has to demonstrate Its effectiveness and safety in a set of clinical
trials that satisfy the regulatory requirements of the countries in the target markets. All
clinical trials are undertaken by its research laboratories, which employ over 10,000 people
at separate facilities in the United Kingdom, United States, Sweden, France, Canada, India,
China and Japan. In addition to internal research and development activities the company is
also involved in publicly funded collaborative research projects, with other industrial and
academic partners. The Enterprise Architecture group within the company has been
engaged in an architecture development project to create a secure networked collaboration
system that will allow researchers at its product development laboratories worldwide to
share information about their clinical trials. This system will also connect with external
partners. The Enterprise Architecture group within the company has been engaged in an
architecture development project to create a secure networked collaboration system that will
allow researchers at its product development laboratories worldwide to share information
about their clinical trials. This system will also connect with external partners. The
Enterprise Architecture group is a mature organization. They use the TOGAF 9 ADM with
extensions required to support current good manufacturing practices and good laboratory
practices in their target markets. Due to the highly sensitive nature of the information that is
managed, special care was taken to ensure that each architecture domain included an
examination of the security and privacy issues that are relevant. The Executive Vice
President for Clinical Research is the sponsor of the Enterprise Architecture activity. She
has stated that the changes to the enterprise architecture for the new system will need to be
rolled out in stages on a regional basis that minimizes disruptions to ongoing clinical trials.
