Scenario
Turbonix Enterprises
Please read this scenario prior to answering the question Turbonix Enterprises specializes in the
development of wind turbine blades for use in large-scale commercial wind energy production
systems. Turbonix has manufacturing facilities located in Palm Springs, California, Omaha, Nebraska,
and Winnipeg, 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 greatly improved blade longevity. Turbonix 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.

Turbonix has a mature Enterprise Architecture organization that is supported by a cross-functional
Architecture Review Board. The Chief Information Officer and the Chief Operating Officer cosponsor
the Enterprise Architecture program.
Turbonix has used T06AF and its Architecture Development Method (ADM) to develop its automated
manufacturing processes and systems that are used to design, manufacture, and test the blade
assemblies. They have adapted their Enterprise Architecture to closely follow the TOGAF 9
framework. All of Turbonix’s enterprise architects have been trained and certified on TOGAF
9.Recently, an architecture project was completed 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 Manufacturing Architecture Board approved the plan for
immediate implementation at each plant.
An Architecture Contract was developed that detailed the work needed to implement and deploy
the new Automated Test System controller. The Chief Engineer, sponsor of the activity, has
expressed concern that a uniform process be employed at each site to ensure consistency.
Refer to the Turbonix Enterprises Scenario
You are the Lead Architect for this activity.
You have been asked to recommend the best approach to adopt to address the Chief Engineer’s
concern.
Based on TOGAF 9, which of the following is the best answer?

A.
You create an Architecture Contract to manage and govern the implementation and migration
process. If the contract is issued to an external party, you ensure that it is a fully enforceable legal
contract. For internal development projects, you decide it is adequate to utilize a memorandum of
understanding between the Manufacturing Architecture Board and the implementation
organization.
You recommend that if a deviation from the contract is detected, the Manufacturing Architecture
Board should modify the Architecture Contract to allow the implementation organization the ability
to customize the process to meet their local needs. As a result, you then issue a new Request for
Architecture Work to implement the modified Architecture Definition.

B.
You create an Architecture Contract to manage and govern the implementation and migration
process. If the contract is issued to an external party, you ensure that it is a fully enforceable legal
contract. For internal development projects, you decide it is adequate to utilize a memorandum of
understanding between the Manufacturing Architecture Board and the implementation
organization.
You recommend that if a deviation from the Architecture Contract is detected, the Manufacturing
Architecture Board grant a dispensation ID allow the implementation organization the ability to
customize the process to meet their local needs.

C.
You create en Architecture Contract to manage and govern the implementation and migration
process. If the contract is issued to an external party, you ensure that it is a fully enforceable legal
contract. For internal development projects, you decide it is adequate to utilize a memorandum of
understanding between the Manufacturing Architecture Board and the implementation
organization.
You ensure that the Manufacturing Architecture Board reviews all deviations from the Architecture
Contract, and considers whether or not to grant a dispensation to allow the implementation
organization to customize the process to meet their local needs.

D.
You create an Architecture Contract to govern the implementation and migration process at each
site. If the contract is issued to an external party, you ensure that it is a fully enforceable legal
contract. You ensure that the contract addresses the project objectives, effectiveness metrics,
acceptance criteria, and risk management. You then schedule compliance reviews at key points in
the implementation process to ensure that the work is proceeding in accordance with the
Architecture Definition. Based on the results, you ensure that the Manufacturing Architecture Board
reviews all deviations from the Architecture Contract, and considers whether or not to grant a
dispensation to allow the implementation organization to customize the process to meet their local
needs.
