Scenario
Please read this scenario prior to answering the question Your role is consultant to the Lead
Architect within a company that manufactures a variety of small electromechanical devices. As part
of a corporate-wide Lean Manufacturing initiative, the company has defined a strategic architecture
to improve its ability to meet consumer demand and improve its ability to manage its supply chain.
The strategic architecture called for the consolidation of multiple Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP)
applications that have been operating independently in several of the divisions’ production facilities.
The goal is to replace the functionality of the existing applications with a new ERP product running as
a single instance in the company’s primary data center. The company has a mature enterprise
architecture practice and uses TOGAF 9 for the basis of its architecture framework. In addition to the
EA program, the company has a number of management frameworks in use, including business
planning, portfolio/project management, and operations management. The EA program is
sponsored by the CIO. Each division has completed the Architecture Definition documentation
required to tailor and configure the environment to meet its own specific manufacturing
requirements. The enterprise architects have analyzed the key corporate change attributes and
implementation constraints. A consolidated gap analysis has been completed which has identified
the gaps across the Business, Data, Application, and Technology domains. Based on the results of the
gap analysis, the architects have reviewed the requirements, dependencies and interoperability
requirements needed to integrate the new ERP environment into the existing environment. The
architects have completed the Business Transformation Readiness Assessment started in PhaseA .
Based on all of these factors they have produced a risk assessment. Because of the risks posed by
the complexity of the current environment, it has been determined that a phased approach is
needed to implement the target architectures. The overall implementation process is estimated to
take several years. Refer to the Scenario The Implementation and Migration Plan v0.l, the draft
Architecture Roadmap, and the Capability Assessment deliverables are now complete. You have
been asked to recommend the next steps to prepare the final Implementation and Migration Plan.
Based on TOGAF 9, which of the following is the best answer?

Scenario
Please read this scenario prior to answering the Question You are serving as the Lead Architect for
the enterprise architecture team at the prime contractor for the Dreadnought Unmanned Aircraft
System 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. The decision has
been made 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. TOGAF 9 Is used for internal Enterprise
Architecture activities, with an iterative approach for executing Architecture Development Method
(ADM) projects. 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 commercial off the shelf package applications with little customization. The
CIO, who is the project sponsor, has stated that she is not concerned about preserving existing
processes or systems. The architect-re development project has put in place Its Architecture
Capability for this project and has started a number of iteration cycles to develop the Architecture.
Some tasks to address concerns related to the Business Architecture have been completed. The next
immediate task is to address the Information Systems Architectures. The Information Systems
Architectures must address stakeholder concerns such as: 1. Which procurement-related business

processes are supported by zero, one, or many existing applications? 2. What non-procurement
applications will need to be integrated with any new procurement applications? 3. What data will
need to be shared? Refer to the Scenario [Note: You may need to refer to TOGAF 9 Chapter 35 in
order to answer this question.] You have been asked to identify the most appropriate catalogs,
matrices, and diagrams for this situation. Based on TOGAF 9, which of the following is the best
answer?

Scenario
Please read this scenario prior to answering the Question You have been appointed as a consultant
to the Lead Enterprise Architect of an international agricultural company that exports bulbs, flowers
and seeds worldwide. The company has its headquarters in the Netherlands, and has sales and
distribution centers in over 30 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 team 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.
The international operations of the company are subject to legal and regulatory requirements for
each country where they operate. The production of genetically modified seeds has governmental

controls that 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 about the risks posed in this complex global environment, and as a
result has approved the expenditure of resources to establish an Enterprise Architecture program.
They have requested to be informed 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 framework for the development and evolution of the Enterprise
Architecture practice. The Preliminary Phase has been completed to establish the enterprise
architecture capability for this project. Refer to the Scenario You have been asked to recommend an
approach that would enable the development of an architecture that addresses the needs of the
Governing Board, legal staff, auditors and the research organization. Based on TOGAF 9, which of the
following is the best answer?

Scenario
Please read this scenario prior to answering the question You are the Lead Enterprise Architect in a
company that specializes in the development of wind turbine blades for use in large-scale
commercial wind energy production systems. The company has manufacturing facilities located in
Illinois, Nebraska, and 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 improved blade longevity. The
company 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. The company has a mature Enterprise Architecture organization

that is supported by a cross functional Architecture Board. The Chief Information Officer and the
Chief Operating Officer cosponsor the Enterprise Architecture program. TOGAF 9 and its
Architecture Development Method (ADM) are used to develop the automated manufacturing
processes and systems that are used to design, manufacture, and test the blade assemblies.
Recently, a pilot architecture project was completed at a single location 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 Architecture Board approved the
plan for immediate implementation at each plant. Architecture Contracts have been developed that
detail the work needed to implement and deploy the new Automated Test System controller for
each location. The Chief Engineer, sponsor of the activity, has expressed concern that a uniform
process be employed at each location to ensure consistency. Refer to the Scenario You have been
asked to recommend the best approach to address the Chief Engineer’s concern. Based on TOGAF 9,
which of the following is the best answer?

Scenario
Please read this scenario prior to answering the Question You are serving as the Chief Architect for a
large, global commodities trading company which has been growing rapidly through a series of
acquisitions. Each business is performing well in its markets. However, the lack of integration
between headquarters and the business units has increasingly caused problems in the handling of
customer and financial information. The inability to share information across businesses has resulted
in lost opportunities to “leverage the synergies” that had been intended when the businesses were
acquired. At present, each business unit maintains its own applications. Despite an earlier initiative
to install a common application to manage customer, products, supplier, and inventory information,
each business unit has different ways of defining each of these core elements and has customized
the common application to the point where the ability to exchange information is difficult, costly,
and error-prone. As a result, the company has made the decision to introduce a single enterprisewide application to consolidate information from several applications that exist across the lines of
business. The application will be used by all business units and accessed by suppliers through well
defined interfaces. The Corporate Board is concerned that the new application must be able to
manage and safeguard confidential customer information in a secure manner that meets or exceeds
the legal requirements of the countries in which the company operates. This will be an increasingly
important capability as the company expands its online services in cooperation with its trading
partners. The CIO has formed an Enterprise Architecture department, and one of the primary goals
in its charter is to coordinate efforts between the implementation team and the business unit
personnel who will be involved in the migration process. The CIO has also formed a cross-functional
Architecture Board to oversee and govern the architecture. The company has an existing team of
security architects. TOGAF 9 has been selected for use for the Enterprise Architecture program. The
CIO has endorsed this choice with the full support of top management. Refer to the Scenario In the
Preliminary Phase you need to define suitable policies and ensure that the company has the
appropriate capability to address the concerns of the Corporate Board. Based on TOGAF 9, which of
the following is the best answer?
