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?

Scenario
Glacier Ridge LLC
Please read this scenario prior to answering the question Glacier Ridge LLC is a vacation property
management firm that is growing through acquisition. It manages over 200 resort properties across
North America . Many of the resort properties use the same internal IT systems that they used
before they were acquired. Until recently, the only requirement that has been placed en each
property is that they use a standard financial reporting system to report their financials ID the
headquarters on a weekly basis. The CEO 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 Glacier Ridge property business by standardizing its operations across the network to
provide consolidated financial, human resources, logistics, sales and marketing, and yield
management. He has also stated that he expects results by the end of the current fiscal year. These
changes will provide the company 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 markets to improve yields.
Glacier Ridge has a mature enterprise architecture (EA) practice 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
firm, including detailed requirements and recommendations. Based on the recommendations from
the initial engagement, Glacier Ridge has embraced an Architecture Vision to adopt an enterprise
application that is tailored to the needs of the hospitality industry. Refer to the Glacier Ridge
scenario Your role is that of Chief Architect. You have been asked to recommend the best approach
to take in this architecture engagement to realize the CEO’s vision. Based on TOGAF 9, which of the
following is the best answer?

Scenario
Summer Seeds BV
Please read this scenario prior to answering the question Summer Seeds BV is an international
agricultural company exporting bulbs, flowers and seeds worldwide. It is headquartered in
Rotterdam in the Netherlands, and has sales and distribution centers in over 60 countries
worldwide. Several of these centers include administrative, manufacturing and research facilities. To
achieve full integration of their research capabilities with their development centers located in
various climate zones, the company wants to develop strong self-directed teams in each location. It
also wants to define new business models that are profitable while reducing their impact on the
environment. The management is deeply committed to ensuring that the company is a world leader
in socially responsible seed development with a business strategy that focuses on profitability
through environmentally friendly operating processes. Summer Seed’s international operations are
subject to various legal and regulatory requirements. In areas such as genetically modified seeds,
governmental controls are strictly enforced and compliance is critical. Recently a competitor was
heavily fined for violating the regulations in a country where it was developing pest-resistant seeds.
The Governing Board is concerned, and as a result has approved the expenditure of resources to
establish an Enterprise Architecture program. They have requested information about the status of
projects that could impact regulatory compliance. They also want to enable the corporate legal staff
and auditors to analyze proposed architectures to ensure that they are within the legal guidelines for
a given location. In addition, the research organization should be able to see that the architecture is
appropriate for its needs. TOGAF 9 has been mandated as the guiding framework for the
development and evolution of the Enterprise Architecture practice. Refer to the Summer Seeds BV
Scenario You have been appointed as the Lead Consultant. You have been asked to recommend an
approach that would enable the development of an architecture that addresses the needs of all
these parties. Based on TOGAF 9, which of the following is the best answer?

Scenario
Intrepid Space Industries
Please read this scenario prior to answering the question Intrepid Space Industries is the prime
contractor for the Telesto Unmanned Spacecraft program. Over the course of this contract, the
company has grown rapidly by acquisition and has inherited numerous different procurement
processes and related IT systems. Intrepid is moving aggressively to consolidate and reduce
redundant procurement processes and systems. The CEO has announced that the company will seek
to leverage higher volume discounts and lower related IT support costs by instituting a preferred
supplier program. To achieve this goal, Intrepid needs to define Baseline and Target Architectures.
These architectures must address key stakeholders’ concerns such as:
1. What groups of people should be involved in procurement-related business processes?
2. What current applications do those groups use?
3. Which procurement-related business processes are supported by zero, one, or many existing
applications?
4. What are the overall lifetimes of the Request for Proposal and Purchase Order business objects?
What non-procurement applications will need to be integrated with any new procurement
applications?
5. What data will need to be shared?
At present, there are no particularly useful architectural assets related to this initiative, so all assets
need to be acquired and customized or created from scratch. The company prefers to implement
existing package applications from systems vendors with little customization.
The architecture development project has just completed its Architecture Context iteration cycle and
is about to begin the Architecture Definition iteration cycle. Intrepid is using TOGAF for its internal
Enterprise Architecture activities. It uses an iterative approach for executing Architecture
Development Method (ADM) projects.
