The Open Group OGEA-102 Exam : TOGAF Enterprise Architecture Part 2 Exam

Please read this scenario prior to answering the question
You are the Chief Enterprise Architect at a large food service company specializing in sales to trade and wholesale, for example, restaurants and other food retailers.
One of your company ' s competitors has launched a revolutionary product range and is running a very aggressive marketing campaign. Your company ' s resellers are successively announcing that they are not interested in your company ' s products and will sell your competitor ' s.
The CEO has stated there must be significant change to address the situation. He has made it clear that new markets must be found for the company ' s products, and that the business needs to pivot, and address the retail market as well as the existing wholesale market.
A consideration is the company ' s ability and willingness to change its business model, and if it is a temporary or permanent change. An additional risk factor is one of culture. The company has been used to a stable business with a reasonably well known and settled client base - all with its own local understandings and practices.
The CEO is the sponsor of the EA program within the company. You have been engaged with the sales, logistics, production, and marketing teams, enabling the architecture activity to start. An Architecture Vision, Architecture Principles, and Requirements have all been agreed. As you move forward to develop a possible Target Architecture you have identified that some of the key stakeholders ' preferences are incompatible. The incompatibilities are focused primarily on time-to-market, cost savings, and the need to bring out a fully featured product range, but there are additional factors.
Refer to the scenario
You have been asked how you will address the incompatibilities between key stakeholder preferences.
Based on the TOGAF standard which of the following is the best answer?

• A. You would review the Stakeholder Map and ensure that you have addressed and represented theconcerns of all department heads. You will involve them in resolving the incompatibilities.TheCommunications Plan should include a report that summarizes the key features of the architecturewith and how incompatibilities were resolved to reflects the stakeholders ' requirements.You willcheck with each key stakeholder they are satisfied with how the incompatibilities have been resolved.
• B. You recommend that since the CEO has stated that the company must pivot, it is better tocompromise on a full product range rather than time-to-market. You would develop just enough of theTarget Architecture to demonstrate fitness of the proposed approach. You would limit the descriptionto just where there is a gap between the current baseline. You would seek approval by thestakeholders to move forward with developing the Target Architecture in detail.
• C. You would use the Architecture Vision, Principles, and Requirements to define a set of criteria foralternatives and create a set of architecture views to illustrate the impact of the alternative TargetArchitectures. You would identify the impact on planned projects. You would understand the strengthsand weaknesses of the alternatives. You would conduct a formal stakeholder review to decide whichalternative to move forward with. You will determine the funding required.
• D. You would seek to understand value preferences and priorities of the stakeholders. You woulddevelop alternative Target Architectures, highlighting the gaps between current state and thealternatives. You would consider combining features from one or more alternatives in collaborationwith the stakeholders.
  A formal stakeholder review should then be held to decide which alternative isfit for purpose and should be moved forward with. You will then secure the funding required.

You have been appointed as senior architect working for an autonomous driving technology development company. The mission of the company is to build an industry leading unified technology and software platform to support connected cars and autonomous driving.
The company uses the TOGAF Standard as the basis for its Enterprise Architecture (EA) framework.
Architecture development within the company follows the purpose-based EA Capability model as described in the TOGAF Series Guide: A Practitioners ' Approach to Developing Enterprise Architecture Following the TOGAF ADM.
An architecture to support strategy has been completed defining a long-range Target Architecture with a roadmap spanning five years. This has identified the need for a portfolio of projects over the next two years.
The portfolio includes development of travel assistance systems using swarm data from vehicles on the road.
The current phase of architecture development is focused on the Business Architecture which needs to support the core travel assistance services that the company plans to provide. The core services will manage and process the swarm data generated by vehicles, paving the way for autonomous driving in the future.
The presentation and access to different variations of data that the company plans to offer through its platform poses an architecture challenge. The application portfolio needs to interact securely with various third-party cloud services, and V2X (Vehicle-to-Everything) service providers in many countries to be able to manage the data at scale. The security of V2X is a key concern for the stakeholders. Regulators have stated that the user ' s privacy be always protected, for example, so that the drivers ' journey cannot be tracked or reconstructed by compiling data sent or received by the car.
Refer to the scenario
You have been asked to describe the risk and security considerations you would include in the current phase of the architecture development?
Based on the TOGAF standard which of the following is the best answer?

• A. You will perform a qualitative risk assessment for the data assets exchanged with partners. This will deliver a set of priorities, high to medium to low, based on identified threats, the likelihood of occurrence, and the impact if it did occur. Using the priorities, you would then develop a Business Risk Model which will detail the risk strategy including classifications to determine what mitigation is enough.
• B. You will focus on the relationship with the third parties required for the travel assistance systems and define a trust framework. This will describe the relationship with each party. Digital certificates are a key part of the framework and will be used to create trust between parties. You will monitor legal and regulatory changes across all the countries to keep the trust framework in compliance.
• C. You will focus on data quality as it is a key factor in risk management. You will identify the datasets that need to be safeguarded. For each dataset, you will assign ownership and responsibility for the quality of data needs. A security classification will be defined and applied to each dataset. The dataset owner will then be able to authorize processes that are trusted for a certain activity on the dataset under certain circumstances.
• D. You will create a security domain model so that assets with the same level can be managed under one security policy. Since data is being shared across partners, you will establish a security federation to include them. This would include contractual arrangements, and a definition of the responsibility areas for the data exchanged, as well as security implications. You would undertake a risk assessment determining risks relevant to specific data assets.

Scenario
You are working as an Enterprise Architect within a large manufacturing company. The company has multiple divisions located worldwide.
After a recent study, senior management is concerned about the impact of the company's multiple data centers and duplication of applications on business efficiency. To address this concern, a strategic architecture has been defined; it will help improve the ability to meet customer demand and improve the efficiency of operations. The strategic architecture involves the consolidation of multiple application programs that are currently used in different divisions and putting them all onto a cloud-based solution instead.
Each division has completed the Architecture Definition documentation to meet its own specific operational requirements. The enterprise architects have analyzed the corporate changes and implementation constraints.
A consolidated gap analysis has been completed. Based on its results, the architects have reviewed the requirements, dependencies, and interoperability requirements needed to integrate the cloud-based solution.
The architects have completed the Business Transformation Readiness Assessment. Based on all these factors, they have produced a risk assessment. They have also completed the draft Implementation and Migration Plan, the draft Architecture Roadmap, and the Capability Assessment deliverables.
Due to the risks of changing from the current environment, the decision has been taken that a gradual approach is needed to implement the target architecture. It will likely take a few years to complete the whole implementation process.
The company has a mature Enterprise Architecture (EA) practice and uses the TOGAF standard for its architecture development method. The EA practice is engaged throughout all the divisions, with implementation governance assigned to a business line. In addition to providing guidance on using architecture frameworks, including business planning, project/portfolio management, and operations management, the EA program is sponsored by the Chief Information Officer (CIO).
You have been asked to decide on the next steps for the migration planning.
Based on the TOGAF standard, which of the following is the best answer?

• A. You conduct a series of Compliance Assessments to ensure that the architecture is being implemented according to the contract. The Compliance Assessment verifies that the implementation team is using the proper development methodology. It should include deployment of monitoring tools and ensure that performance targets are being met. If they are not met, then you would identify changes to performance requirements and update those in the Implementation and Migration Plan.
• B. You assess the business value for each project by applying the Business Value Assessment Technique.The assessment should focus on return on investment and performance evaluation criteria to prioritize the most progress of the architecture transformation. You confirm and plan a series of Transition Architecture phases using an Architecture Definition Increments Table. You document the lessons learned and generate the final Implementation and Migration Plan.
• C. You examine how the Implementation and Migration Plan affects the other frameworks being used in the organization. You coordinate the planning with the business planning, project/portfolio management, and operations management frameworks. You assign a business value to each project, considering the available resources and how well they align with the strategy. You then update the architecture roadmap and the Implementation and Migration Plan.
• D. You update the Architecture Definition Document, which includes setting project objectives and documenting the final requirements. This will ensure that the architecture remains relevant and responsive to the needs of the enterprise. You then produce an Implementation Governance Model to manage the lessons learned prior to finalizing the Implementation and Migration Plan. You recommend that lessons learned be applied as changes to the architecture without review.

You are working as an Enterprise Architect at a large supermarket. The company runs many retail stores, as well as an online grocery shop. Many of the stores used to remain open 24/7, but the number has decreased in recent years. Instead, they now focus on fulfilling online orders during the night.
The company has a mature Enterprise Architecture (EA) practice and uses the TOGAF standard for its architecture development method. The EA practice is involved in all aspects of the business, with oversight provided by an Architecture Board with representatives from different parts of the business. The EA program is sponsored by the Chief Information Officer (CIO).
Each store uses a standard method to track sales and inventory. This involves sending accurate timely sales data to a central Al-based inventory management system that can predict demand, adjust stock levels and automate reordering. The central inventory management system is housed at the company ' s central data center.
The company has bought a major rival. The Chief Executive Officer believes that a merger will enable growth through combined offerings and cost savings. The decision has been taken to fully integrate the two organizations, including merging retail operations and systems. This means that duplicated systems will be replaced with one standard retail management system. Also, the company will reduce the number of applications that are used. The CIO expects significant savings will be achieved by implementing these changes across the newly merged company.
One improvement that the rival has successfully implemented is the use of hand-held devices within stores, for both customers and staff. This has increased both customer and staff employee satisfaction due to the time savings this has brought. The CIO has given the go-ahead to roll out the devices in all stores but has stated that training on how to use the hand-held devices should be brief because there are a lot of employees, many of whom are part-time.
The Request for Architecture Work to oversee the merger has been approved. The project has been scoped and you have been assigned to work on it. Your role includes managing the architecture for the retail stores.
Refer to the scenario
You have been asked to confirm the most relevant architecture principles for the transformation.
Based on the TOGAF Standard, which of the following is the best answer?

Your role is that of a consultant to the Lead Enterprise Architect in a multinational automotive manufacturer.
The company has a corporate strategy that focuses on electrification of its portfolio, and it has invested heavily in a new shared car platform to use across all its brands. The company has four manufacturing facilities, one in North America, two in Europe, and one in Asia.
A challenge that the company is facing is to scale up the number of vehicles coming off the production line to meet customer demand, while maintaining quality. There are significant supply chain shortages for electronic components, which are impacting production. In response to this the company has taken on new suppliers and has also taken design and production of the battery pack in-house.
The company has a mature Enterprise Architecture practice. The TOGAF standard is used for developing the process and systems used to design, manufacture, and test the battery pack. The Chief Information Officer and the Chief Operating Officer co-sponsor the Enterprise Architecture program.
As part of putting the new battery pack into production, adjustments to the assembly processes need to be made. A pilot project has been completed at a single location. The Chief Engineer, sponsor of the activity, and the Architecture Board have approved the plan for implementation and migration at each plant.
Draft Architecture Contracts have been developed that detail the work needed to implement and deploy the new processes for each location. The company mixes internal teams with a few third-party contractors at the locations. The Chief Engineer has expressed concern that the deployment will not be consistent and of acceptable quality.
Refer to the scenario
The Lead Enterprise Architect has asked you to review the draft Architecture Contracts and recommend the best approach to address the Chief Engineer ' s concern.
Based on the TOGAF Standard, which of the following is the best answer?

• A. For changes requested by an internal team, you recommend a memorandum of understandingbetween the Architecture Board and the implementation organization. For contracts issued to third-party contractors, you recommend that it is a fully enforceable legal contract. You recommend thatthe Architecture Board reviews all deviations from the Architecture Contract and considers whether togrant a dispensation to allow the implementation organization to customize the process to meet theirlocal needs.
• B. For changes undertaken by internal teams, you recommend a memorandum of understandingbetween the Architecture Board and the implementation organization. If a contract is issued to acontractor, you recommend that it is a fully enforceable legal contract. If a deviation from theArchitecture Contract is found, you recommend that the Architecture Board grant a dispensation toallow the implementation organization to customize the process to meet their local needs.
• C. You review the contracts ensuring that they address project objectives, effectiveness metrics,acceptance criteria, and risk management. Third-party contracts must be legally enforceable. Yourecommend a schedule of compliance reviews at key points in the implementation process. Yourecommend that the Architecture Board reviews all deviations from the Architecture Contract andconsiders whether to grant a dispensation to allow the process to be customized for local needs.
• D. You recommend that the Architecture Contracts be used to manage the architecture governanceprocesses across the locations. You recommend deployment of monitoring tools to assess theperformance of each completed battery pack at each location and develop change requirements ifnecessary. If a deviation from the contract is detected, the Architecture Board should allow theArchitecture Contract to be modified meet the local needs. In such cases they should issue a newRequest for Architecture Work to implement a modification to the Architecture Definition.
