According to TOGAF, the recommended dimensions used to define the scope of an
architecture include all the following, except:

Scenario:
Please read this scenario prior to answering the Question
You have been assigned the role of Chief Enterprise Architect within a leading North American
information technology services company. The company has a number of service portfolios including
infrastructure, applications, business process outsourcing, accounting, and financial services.
With numerous practice areas and a multitude of diverse engagements underway at any given time,
overall engagement management within the company has become challenging. The company does
not want to risk its outstanding reputation or its international certifications and CMM ratings.
The Chief Executive Officer and Chief Information Officer have co-sponsored the creation of an
Enterprise Architecture prog-am based on TOGAF 9. An Architecture Board has been formed
comprised of IT staff executives and executives from the major practice areas.
The Enterprise Architecture team has been working with the Strategic Planning team to create a
strategic enterprise architecture to address these issues. The team has defined a framework and
held workshops with key stakeholders to define a set of architecture principles to govern the
architecture work. They have completed an Architecture Vision at a strategic level and laid out
Architecture Definitions for the four domains. They have set out an ambitious vision of the future of
the company over a five-year period. This includes a solution architecture including three distinct
transformations.
The CIO has made it clear that prior to the approval of the detailed Implementation and Migration
plan, the EA team will need to assess the risks associated with the proposed architecture. He has

received concerns from some of the senior partners that the proposed architecture may be too
ambitious and they are not sure it can produce sufficient value to warrant the attendant risks.
Refer to the Scenario
You have been asked to recommend an approach to satisfy these concerns.
Based on TOGAF 9, which of the following is the best answer?

What level of the Architecture Landscape provides a long-term summary view of the entire
enterprise?

Scenario:
Please read this scenario prior to answering the question
You are serving as the Lead Enterprise Architect at a major supplier in the automotive industry. The
company is headquartered in Cleveland, Ohio with manufacturing plants across the United States,
Brazil, Germany, Japan and South Korea. Each of these plants has been operating its own planning
and production scheduling systems, as well as custom developed applications that drive the
automated production equipment at each plant.
The company is implementing lean manufacturing principles to minimize waste and improve the
efficiency of all of its production operations. During a recent exercise held for internal quality
improvement, it was determined that a significant reduction in process waste could be achieved by
replacing the current planning and scheduling systems with a common Enterprise Resource Planning
(ERP) system located in the Cleveland data center. This central system would provide support to
each of the plants replacing the functionality in the existing systems. It would also eliminate the
need for full data centers at each of the plant facilities. A reduced number of IT staff could support
the remaining applications. In some cases, a third-party contractor could provide those staff.
The Enterprise Architecture department has been operating for several years and has mature, welldeveloped architecture governance and development processes that are strongly based on TOGAF 9.

At a recent meeting, the Architecture Board approved a Request for Architecture Work sponsored by
the Chief Engineer of Global Manufacturing Operations. The request covered the initial architectural
investigations and the development of a comprehensive architecture to plan the transformation.
The Common ERP Deployment architecture project team has now been formed, and the project
team has been asked to develop an Architecture Vision that will achieve the desired outcomes and
benefits. Some of the plant managers have expressed concern about the security and reliability of
diving their planning and production scheduling from a remote centralized system. The Chief
Engineer wants to know how these concerns can be addressed.
Refer to the Scenario
[Note: You should assume that the company has adopted the example set of principles that are
listed and defined in TOGAF 9, Section 23.6.]
One of the earliest initiatives in the Enterprise Architecture program was the definition of a set of
architecture principles. These now need to be updated to address the concerns raised.
You have been asked to select a set of principles most appropriate for guiding the team to define a
robust solution.
