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 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.

B.
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.

C.
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.

D.
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.
