Scenario
Reveille Bugle
Please read this scenario prior to answering the question For over 100 years, Reveille Bugle has been
manufacturing brass bugles and other musical instruments. North America has been the primary
market for Reveille’s products. However, the firm has now 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 create its manufacturing capacity. This has resulted in a complex
environment with a high diversity of business and manufacturing systems. The Enterprise
Architecture (EA) program at Reveille Bugle 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 joint sponsors of the EA program. By all measures, 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 four
geographic market sectors: North America; Europe, Africa, and Middle East; Latin America; and AsiaPacific. 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 has
been approved. As the architecture team commences its work, the CIO has expressed a concern
about whether the firm will be able to adapt to the proposed architecture and how to manage the
associated risks. Refer to the Reveille Bugle Scenario Your role is consultant to the Lead Architect.
You have been asked how to address the concerns of the CIO. Based on TOGAF 9, which of the
following is the best answer?

A.
In Phase A, the team should conduct a Business Scenario to identify the stakeholders’ concerns
and the resulting requirements. Once the requirements have been identified, they can be assessed
in terms of their risks. The risks should be evaluated in terms of how they could be avoided,
transferred, or mitigated. Any risks that cannot be resolved should be identified as residual risks and
their disposition should be decided by the Architecture Board.

B.
In Phase A, the team should use the Business Transformation Readiness Assessment technique to
identify the factors that will influence the successful introduction of the architecture into the
organization. The assessment should include determining the readiness rating for each factor based
on a maturity scale that will allow the team to gauge the urgency, readiness, and degree of difficulty
to fix. These factors can then used to assess the initial risks associated with the proposed
architecture.

C.
In Phase A the team should analyze their risk by completing an Implementation Factor Assessment
and Deduction Matrix to identify the particular risks associated with the implementation and
deployment. These factors can then used to assess the initial risks associated with the proposed
architecture.

D.
In Phase B, the team should create a set of views and viewpoints that will enable them to identify
the factors that will influence the successful introduction of the architecture into the organization.
There should then be an assessment of each factor on a maturity scale that will allow the team to
gauge the urgency, readiness, and degree of difficulty to fix. These factors can then be used to assess
the initial risks associated with the proposed architecture.
