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.

You have been appointed as Chief Enterprise Architect (CEA). reporting to the Chief Technical Officer (CTO), of a company established as a separate operating entity by a major automotive manufacturer. The mission of the company is to build a new industry leading unified technology and software platform for electric vehicles.

The company uses the TOGAF Standard as the basis for its Enterprise Architecture (EA) framework, and architecture development 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 end-to-end Target Architecture has been completed with a roadmap for change over a five-year period. The new platform will be a cross-functional effort between hardware and software teams, with significant changes over the old platform. It is expected to be developed in several stages over three years. The EA team has inherited the architecture for the previous generation hardware and software automotive platform, some of which can be carried over to the new unified platform. The EA team has started to define the new platform, including defining which parts of the architecture to carry forward.

Enough of the Business Architecture has been defined, so that work can commence on the Information Systems and Technology Architectures. Those need to be defined to support the core business services that the company plans to provide. The core services will feature an innovative approach with 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 pose an architecture challenge. The application portfolio and supporting infrastructure need to interact with various existing cloud services and data-

Based on the TOGAF standard which of the following is the best answer?

You are working as an Enterprise Architect at a large company. The company runs many retail stores as well as an online marketplace that allows hundreds of brands to partner with the company. 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).

Many of the stores remain open all day and night. Each store uses a standard method to track sales and inventory, which involves sending accurate, timely sales data to a central AI-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 acquired a major rival. The Chief Executive Officer (CEO) believes that the merger will enable growth through combined offerings and cost savings. The decision has been made to fully integrate the two organizations, including merging retail operations and systems. Duplicated systems will be replaced with one standard retail management system. The CIO expects significant savings from these changes across the newly merged company.

The rival company has successfully implemented the use of hand-held devices within stores for both customers and staff, which has increased satisfaction due to time savings. The CIO has approved the rollout of these devices to all stores but has stated that training should be brief, as there are many part-time employees.

You have been asked to confirm the most relevant architecture principles for this transformation. Based on the TOGAF Standard, which of the following is the best answer?

You are working as Chief Enterprise Architect at a large Internet company. The company has many divisions, ranging from cloud to logistics. The company has grown rapidly, expanding from initially selling physical books and media to a range of services including an online marketplace, live-streaming. eBooks. and cloud services.

Overall management of the numerous divisions has become challenging. Recent high-profile projects have overrun on budget and under delivered, damaging the company's reputation, and adversely impacting its share price. There is a widely held view within the executive management that the organization structure has played a major role in these project failures.

The company has an established Enterprise Architecture program based on the TOGAF standard, sponsored jointly by the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Chief Information Officer (CIO). The CEO has decided that the company needs to reorganize its divisions around artificial intelligence and machine learning with a focus on automation. The CEO has worked with the Enterprise Architects to create a strategic architecture for the reorganization, including an Architecture Vision, together with definitions for the four domain architectures. This sets out an ambitious vision of the future of the company over a three-year period. This includes a set of work packages and includes three distinct transformations.

The CIO has made it clear that prior to the approval of the detailed Implementation and Migration plan, the EAteam will need to assess the risks associated with the proposed architecture. He has received concerns from key stakeholders across the company that the proposed reorganization may be too ambitious and there is doubt whether it can produce sufficient value to warrant the risks.

Your role is that of a senior architect, reporting to the Chief Enterprise Architect, at a medium-sized company with 400 employees. The nature of the business is such that the data and the information stored on the company systems is their major asset and is highly confidential.

The company employees travel extensively for work and must communicate over public infrastructure using message encryption, VPNs, and other standard safeguards. The company has invested in cybersecurity awareness training for all its staff. However, it is recognized that even with good education as well as system security, there is a dependency on third-parly suppliers of infrastructure and software.

The company uses the TOGAF standard as the method and guiding framework for its Enterprise Architecture (EA) practice. The CTO is the sponsor of the activity.

The Chief Security Officer (CSO) has noted an increase in ransomware (malicious software used in ransom demands) attacks on companies with a similar profile. The CSO recognizes that no matter how much is spent on education, and support, it is likely just a matter of time before the company suffers a significant attack that could completely lock them out of their information assets.

A risk assessment has been done and the company has sought cyber insurance that includes ransomware coverage. The quotation for this insurance is hugely expensive. The CTO has recently read a survey that stated that one in four organizations paying ransoms were still unable to recover their data, while nearly as many were able to recover the data without paying a ransom. The CTO has concluded that taking out cyber insurance in case they need to pay a ransom is not an option.

Please read this scenario prior to answering the question

You are employed as an Enterprise Architect within a multinational company. The

company has been very successful and has been buying companies around the

world. This has led to a growing number of manufacturing divisions in various

locations with a complex supply chain.

The top management recently expressed concerns about the company's effectiveness

because of its multiple data centers and duplicate applications. The EA team has

been working on a project to solve this issue. An analysis shows that supply chain

issues have led to not enough products being produced to meet all the customer

demand.

A strategic architecture has been defined to help meet customer demand and manage

the supply chain more effectively. The strategic architecture involves combining

different Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) applications that are currently used

separately in the company's production sites.

Each division has finished the Architecture Definition documentation to address their

own specific manufacturing needs. The Enterprise Architects have agreed an overall

strategy for the migration. They have defined a set of work packages that address the

gaps found. They have defined the intermediate architectural states between the

Baseline and Target architecture to add a new ERP environment into the company.

Because of the risks posed by this change from the current environment, the

architects have recommended that a phased approach should be taken to implement

the target architecture with several stages of change. They have created a draft

roadmap with the implementation process estimated to take over two years.

The company has an established Enterprise Architecture (EA) practice and follows the

TOGAF Architecture Development Method. The company also uses various

management frameworks such as business planning, project/portfolio management,

and operations management. The EA program is sponsored by the Chief Information

Officer (CIO). In your role as an Enterprise Architect within the EA team, you work

closely with the important stakeholders from the various divisions within the company.

Refer to the scenario

You have been assigned to plan the next steps for the migration. Which approach will

you choose?

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.

You are working as the Chief Enterprise Architect within a law firm specializing in personal injury cases. Many of the firm's competitors have improved their litigation strategies, and efficiency by streamlining their processes using Artificial Intelligence {Al).

The CIO has approved a Request for Architecture Work to examine the use of Machine Learning in defining a new Al-driven litigation and finance process for the firm. This process would instruct the lawyers and analysts as to what tasks and portfolio they should work on. The key objectives are to increase task profitability, maximize staff utilization, and increase individual profitability.

The CIO has emphasized that the architecture should enable the fast implementation of continuous Machine Learning. The solution will need to be constantly measured for delivered value and be quickly iterated to success.

Some of the partners have expressed concerns about letting the Al make the decisions, others about the risks associated with use of it for the type of service they deliver. The CIO wants to know if these concerns can be addressed, and how risks will be covered by a new architecture enabling Al and Machine Learning.

the globe. These platforms span online marketplaces, advanced advertising networks,

Al-driven services, productivity tools, and digital entertainment experiences.

The senior leadership within the company is worried about the company's ability to

address all the opportunities around artificial intelligence (Al). They feel that the

business is at risk of falling behind its competitors, and that significant changes are

necessary for the business to remain competitive. Most senior leaders feel that the

operations need to be more efficient, and the organization needs to change to achieve

its future goals.

The company has an established Enterprise Architecture (EA) program based on the

TOGAF standard, sponsored jointly by the Chief Information Officer (CIO) and senior

executives. In your role as an Enterprise Architect within the EA team, you work

The CEO has decided that reorganizing its subsidiaries around artificial intelligence

and machine learning will improve the way the company creates and delivers value.

The sponsors have approved a project for the reorganization which is being led by the

EA team.

The EA team have developed a strategic architecture which has been approved by

the sponsors. It includes an Architecture Vision, and high-level definitions of the

domain architectures. This sets out a plan over a multi-year period and covers three

distinct transformations to implement the reorganization.

The sponsors have read reports that the majority of transformation projects dealing

with digital and artificial intelligence are failing. They have made it clear that prior to

the approval of the detailed Implementation and Migration plan, the EA team needs to

address the risks associated with the reorganization. They want assurance that the

reorganization will succeed and deliver the promised increases in value for the

Based on the TOGAF standard, which of the following is the best answer?

Please read this scenario prior to answering the question

You are the Lead Enterprise Architect at a major agribusiness company. The company's main

annual harvest is lentils, a highly valued food grown worldwide. The lentil parasite, broomrape,

has been an increasing concern for many years and is now becoming resistant to chemical

controls. In addition, changes in climate favor the propagation and growth of the parasite. As a

result, the parasite cannot realistically be exterminated, and it has become pandemic, with lentil

yields falling globally.

The CEO appreciates the seriousness of the situation and has set out a change in direction

that is effectively a new business for the company. There are opportunities for new products,

and new markets. The company will use the fields for another harvest and will cease to process

third-party lentils. Thus, the target market will change, and the end-products will be different

and more varied. This is a major decision and the CEO has stated a desire to repurpose rather

than replace so as to manage the risks and limit the costs.

The company has a mature Enterprise Architecture practice based in its headquarters and uses

the TOGAF standard as the method and guiding framework. The practice has an established

Architecture Capability, and uses iteration for architecture development. The CIO is the sponsor

of the activity.

The CIO has assigned the Enterprise Architecture team to this activity. At this stage there is no

shared vision, or requirements.

You are employed as an Enterprise Architect consultant within a manufacturing company. The company hasmultiple business units located worldwide, including retail, manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, and technology.

The company has a mature Enterprise Architecture (EA) practice and uses the TOGAF standard for itsarchitecture development method. The EA practice is engaged throughout all the business units, withgovernance provided by multiple Architecture Boards with responsibility for a business line. In addition to theEA program, the company uses a number of management frameworks, including business planning,project/portfolio management, and operations management. The EA program is sponsored by the ChiefInformation Officer (CIO).

After a recent study, senior management are concerned about the impact of the company's multiple datacenters and duplication of applications on the business efficiency. To address the concern, a strategicarchitecture has been defined; it will help improve the ability to meet customer demand and improve theefficiency of operations. The strategic architecture involves the consolidation of multiple applicationsprograms that are currently used in different business units and putting them all onto a cloud-based solutioninstead.

Each business unit has completed the Architecture Definition documentation to meet its own specificoperational requirements. The Enterprise Architects have analyzed the corporate changes andimplementation constraints. A consolidated gap analysis has been completed. Based on its results, thearchitects have reviewed the requirements, dependencies and interoperability requirements needed tointegrate the cloud-based solution. The architects have completed the Business Transformation ReadinessAssessment. Based on all these factors they have produced a risk assessment. They have also completedthe draft Implementation and Migration Plan, the draft Architecture Roadmap, and the CapabilityAssessment deliverables.

Due to the risks of changing from the current environment, the decision has been taken that a gradualapproach is needed to implement the target architectures. It will likely take a few years to complete thewhole implementation process.

Scenario

You are working as an Enterprise Architect within an Enterprise Architecture (EA) team at a large government agency. The agency has multiple divisions.

The agency has a well-established EA practice and follows the TOGAF standard as its method for architecture development. Along with the EA program, the agency also uses various management frameworks, including business planning, project/portfolio management, and operations management. The EA program is sponsored by the Chief Information Officer (CIO), who has actively promoted architecting with agility within the EA department as her preferred approach for projects.

The government has mandated that the agency prepare themselves for an Artificial Intelligence (AI)-first world, which they have called their “AI-first” plan. As a result, the agency is looking to determine the impact and role that AI will play moving forward. The CIO has approved a Request for Architecture Work to look at how AI can be used for services across the agency. She has noted that digital platforms will be a priority for investment in order to scale the AI applications planned. Using AI to automate tasks and make things run smoother is seen as a big advantage. Process automation and improved efficiency from manual, repetitive activities have been identified as the key benefits of applying generative AI to their agency’s business. This will include back-office automation, for example, for help center agents who receive hundreds of email inquiries. This should also improve services for citizens by making them more efficient and personalized, tailored to each individual’s needs.

Many of the agency leaders are worried about relying too much on AI. Some leaders think their employees will need to learn new skills. Some employees are worried they might lose their jobs to AI. Other leaders worry about security and cyber resilience in the digital platforms needed for AI to be successful.

The leader of the Enterprise Architecture team has asked for your suggestions on how to address the concerns, and how to manage the risks of a new architecture for the AI-first project.
