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 Asia- Pacific. 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.
