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.
