Please read this scenario prior to answering the Question
Your role is that of Lead Enterprise Architect within a vacation property management firm that has been
growing through acquisition. The firm manages over 200 resort properties across North America. Many of the
resort properties use the same internal IT systems that they used before they were acquired. Until recently, the
only requirement that has been placed on each property is that they use a standard financial reporting system
to report their financial results to the headquarters on a weekly basis.
The CEO has stated his concerns about the inefficiencies of the current approach and identified the need to
change. He has defined a new strategic vision that will enhance the business by standardizing its operations
across the network to provide consolidated financial, human resources, logistics, sales and marketing, and
yield management. He has also stated that he expects results by the end of the current fiscal year.
These changes will provide the company with improved utilization of its capacity and more efficient operations.
The addition of a corporate-wide data warehouse will provide analytics that will enable the marketing group to
improve its ability to target advertising into key markets to improve yields.
The firm has a mature enterprise architecture practice and uses TOGAF 9 as the method and guiding
framework. The CIO is the sponsor of the activity.
In planning this change, the Chief Architect engaged the services of a well-known consulting firm that
specializes in business strategy. An initial study has been conducted to identify the strategic changes needed
to implement the CEO's vision. This recently completed with approval of a strategic architecture encompassing
the entire firm, including detailed requirements and recommendations.
Based on the recommendations from the initial study, the firm has taken the decision to adopt a packaged
suite of integrated applications that is tailored to the needs of the hospitality industry.
Refer to the scenario
You have been asked by the Chief Architect to justify the best approach for architecture development to realize
the CEO's vision.
Based on TOGAF 9, which of the following is the best answer?
- A. You recommend that the team focus on defining the target architecture by going through the architecture
definition phases (B-D). This is because the initial study identified the need to change. This will ensure that
the change can be defined in a structured manner and address the requirements needed to realize the
vision. - B. You recommend that the team focus on architecture definition, with a specific emphasis on understanding
the strategic change parameters of the business strategy. Once understood, the team will be in the best
position to identify the requirements, drivers, issues, and constraints for this engagement. You would
ensure that the target architecture addresses non-functional requirements so as to ensure the target
architecture is robust and secure. - C. You recommend that this engagement define the baseline Technology Architecture first in order to assess
the current infrastructure capacity and capability. Then the focus should be on transition planning and
architecture deployment. This will identify retirements to ensure that the projects are sequenced in an
optimal fashion so as to realize the vision. - D. You recommend that the target architecture is defined first, followed by transition planning. This is because
the vision is well understood and the strategic architecture agreed. This will ensure that the current
problems and inefficiencies of the baseline architecture are not carried forward, and that the proposed
solution addresses the requirements identified in the initial study.

NEW QUESTION 33
Scenario: Global Mobile 1
Please read this scenario prior to answering the question
Global Mobile is a mobile telecommunications company formed through a series of mergers and acquisitions. They are yet to fully integrate the customer service systems for the most recent acquisitions, and as result, customer service has been a major concern for the Chief Technology Officer.
Results for the last two quarters have shown that Average Revenue Per User (ARPU) and the customer retention (Churn) rate have fallen below the industry average. The Corporate Marketing group has published some new findings about customer satisfaction. The customers appear to be switching to Air Light, a competitor, because of superior customer service. Global Mobile actually has better coverage in nearly all markets than Air Light, and good roaming agreements that keep rates low for business travelers. But, customer satisfaction has remained low.
The Business Strategy group and the Enterprise Architecture group have conducted a high-level project to develop the enterprise-wide strategic plan. They have developed a business scenario which contains a good conceptual model of what needs to be done, and also identifies the key requirements. This was used in preparing the proposal presented to the Executive Council and the Corporate Board.
The planning for the program has been underway for several months. Global Mobile has selected TOGAF 9 as the basis for its Enterprise Architecture.
The Corporate Board has approved funding for a multi-million Euro conversion to transition to a packaged Customer Service System. It is anticipated that the overall program will take five years to complete, but there are some tactical projects that can commence immediately to address the situation. The Corporate Board has placed one additional major constraint on the program. In addition to achieving the business outcomes directly related to improving overall customer service within each business unit, the Corporate Board expects the Target Architecture to produce an additional saving of at least 30% over current operating costs through energy efficiency initiatives, virtualization of servers and workstations, and expanded telecommuting and desk-sharing. This Green initiative is intended to become a model for future investments at all company facilities worldwide.
Refer to Global Mobile scenario
You have been engaged as a consultant to advise the Chief Architect on the best ways to approach to the implementation planning activities for this significant business transformation.
Based on TOGAF 9, which of the following is the best answer? (Is this the right answers to choose?)
- A. You recommend using conventional implementation planning techniques. The Capability-Based Planning approach is normally only used in public sector, defense-related programs. This approach is not appropriate for a private sector company.
- B. You recommend that the implementation planning activities be conducted using Capability-Based Planning. This is appropriate because the Green initiative is an enterprise-wide plan with a horizontal scope. Its metrics are aggregated at the enterprise level. It is crucial to gain business unit support and cooperation to achieve the broader business outcomes which will benefit all.
- C. You recommend using conventional implementation planning techniques. The horizontal scope of the Green initiative would make the Capability-Based Planning approach used in the organization's TOGAF-based Enterprise Architecture framework difficult to manage and govern. This approach to planning was better applied within the vertical scope of a business unit.
- D. The Capability-Based Planning approach used in the organization's TOGAF-based Enterprise Architecture framework is focused on business outcomes. The Green initiative is an infrastructure program that is technical in nature; therefore, it would not be appropriate to use the Capability-Based Planning approach. Instead, the Global Mobile systems development lifecycle approach should be utilized to develop the Solution Architecture.

in Europe. Each of these facilities supplies the power industry in its region.
The company recognizes that the long-term technical potential of wind energy can address the current global
dependency on carbon fuels, in order to do so this will require wind turbines to be installed over the large areas
and in areas of higher wind resources. In particular offshore wind farms can contribute substantially more
energy than land stationed turbines.
The research arm of the company has pioneered the development of an offshore wind turbine design, with an
improved turbine blade and power system, that will produce up to 20% more energy. This will allow the
production of significantly more salable energy. This new design is ready to go into production.
The company has a mature Enterprise Architecture practice supported by a cross-functional Architecture
Board and uses the TOGAF standard. The Chief Information Officer and the Chief Operating Officer co-
sponsor the Enterprise Architecture program.
As part of putting the new design into production, a pilot architecture project has defined an updated standard
approach for controlling the automated test systems used to perform final quality assurance. The Chief
Engineer, sponsor of the activity, and the Architecture Board have approved the plan for immediate
implementation at each plant.

Architecture Contract to allow the implementation organization the ability to customize the process to meet
their local needs. As a result, you then issue a new Request for Architecture Work to implement the
modified Architecture Definition. - B. You create an Architecture Contract to manage and govern implementation and migration process at each
location. For internal development projects, you issue a memorandum of understanding between the
Architecture Board and the implementation organization. Fir contracts issued to an external party, you
ensure that it is a fully enforceable legal contract.
You ensure that the Architecture Board reviews all deviations from the Architecture Contract, and considers
whether or not to grant a dispensation to allow the implementation organization to customize the process to
meet their local needs. - C. You create an Architecture Contract to manage and govern the implementation and migration process. If
the contract is issued to an external party, you ensure that it is a fully enforceable legal contract. For
internal development projects, you decide it is adequate to utilize a memorandum of understanding
between the Architecture Board and the implementation organization.
You recommend that if a deviation from the Architecture Contrast is detected, the Architecture Board grant
a dispensation to allow the implementation organization the ability to customize the process to meet their
local needs. - D. You review the applicable Architecture Contract for each location, ensuring that it addresses the project
objectives, effectiveness metrics, acceptance criteria, and risk management. In cases where the contract is
issued to an external party, you ensure that it is a legally enforceable contract.

Scenario: Rollins Manufacturing
Please read this scenario prior to answering the question
Rollins Manufacturing is a major supplier in the automotive industry, headquartered in Cleveland, Ohio with
manufacturing plants in Chicago, Sao Paulo, Stuttgart, Yokohama, and Seoul. Each of these plants has been
operating its own Manufacturing Requirements Planning (MRPII) system, production scheduling, and custom
developed applications that drive the automated production equipment at each plant.
Rollins 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 MRPII 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 Rollins Enterprise Architecture department has been operating for several years and has mature, well-
developed architecture governance and development processes that are strongly based on TOGAF 9.At a
recent meeting, the Architecture Review Board approved a Request for Architecture Work from the Chief
Engineer of Global Manufacturing Operations who is the project sponsor. 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 driving their MRPII and production
scheduling from a central system located in Cleveland. The Chief Engineer wants to know how these concerns
can be addressed.
Refer to the Rollins Manufacturing Scenario
You are serving as the Lead Enterprise Architect of the newly-formed Common ERP Deployment architecture
project team.
As the Common ERP Deployment architecture project team assembles for its initial meeting, many of the
participants have voiced concerns about the sweeping scope of the initiative. Others are confident that they
know a solution that will work. During the meeting, a number of alternative recommendations for how to
proceed are put forward by members of the team.
You have been asked to select the most appropriate recommendation to ensure that the team evaluates
different approaches to the problem and clarifies the requirements for the architecture.
Based on TOGAF 9, which of the following is the best answer?
- A. The team should conduct a pilot project that will enable vendors on the short list to demonstrate potential
solutions that will access the concerns of the stakeholders. Based on the findings of that pilot project, a
complete set of requirements can be developed that will arrive the evolution of the architecture. - B. The team should create Baseline and Target Architectures for each of the manufacturing plants. A gap
analysis between the architectures will then validate the approach, and determine the Transition
Architecture needed to achieve the target state. - C. The team should hold a series of interviews at each of the manufacturing plants using the business
scenario technique. This will then enable them to identify and document the characteristics of the
architecture from the business requirements. - D. The team should exercise due diligence and carefully research vendor literature and conduct a series of
briefings with vendors that are on the current approved supplier list. Based on the findings from the
research, the team should define a preliminary target Architecture Vision. The team should then use that
model to build consensus among the key stakeholders.

Your role is that of Lead Enterprise Architect within the staff headquarters of a large hotel chain. The chain manages over 500 hotels across North America and Canada, with another 230 hotels internationally in the United Kingdom, Europe, Australia and New Zealand. Unlike other hotel chains, which are often a mix of company-owned and franchised units, each hotel in the chain is an independently owned and operated franchise. Many of the hotels use the same internal IT systems that they used before they joined the franchise.
Until recently, the only requirement that has been placed on each hotel is that they use a standard financial reporting system to report their financial results to the headquarters on a weekly basis.
The CEO of the chain has stated his concerns about the inefficiencies of the current approach and identified the need to change. He has defined a new strategic vision that will enhance the business by providing its franchisees new support services including worldwide reservations, global, national and regional marketing as well as consolidated financials, logistics, and yield management. This strategy is part of the long-term commitment to enhance the brand image and drive superior revenue for the chain. He has also stated that he expects improved financial results by the end of the current fiscal year.
These changes will provide the chain with improved utilization of its capacity and more efficient operations. The addition of a corporate-wide data warehouse will provide analytics that will enable the marketing group to improve its ability to target advertising into key national and regional markets to improve yields.
The chain has a mature enterprise architecture practice based in its headquarters and uses TOGAF 9 as the method and guiding framework. The CIO is the sponsor of the activity.
In planning this change, the Chief Architect engaged the services of a well-known consulting firm that specializes in business strategy. An initial study has been conducted to identify the strategic changes needed to implement the CEO's vision. This recently completed with approval of a strategic architecture encompassing the entire chain, including detailed requirements and recommendations.
Based on the recommendations from the initial study, the chain has taken the decision to adopt a packaged suite of integrated applications that is tailored to the needs of the hospitality industry.
Refer to the scenario
You have been asked by the Chief Architect to propose the best approach for architecture development to realize the CEO's vision.
Based on TOGAF, which of the following is the best answer?
- A. You propose that the team focus on architecture definition, with a specific emphasis on understanding the strategic change parameters of the business strategy. Once understood, the team will be in the best position to identify the requirements, drivers, issues, and constraints for this engagement. You would ensure that the target architecture addresses non-functional requirements so as to ensure the target architecture is robust and secure.
- B. You propose that this engagement define the baseline Technology Architecture first in order to assess the current infrastructure capacity and capability. Then the focus should be on transition planning and architecture deployment. This will identify requirements to ensure that the projects are sequenced in an optimal fashion so as to realize the vision.
- C. You propose that the team focus on defining the target architecture by going through the architecture definition phases (B-D). This is because the initial study identified the need to change. This will ensure that the change can be defined in a structured manner and address the requirements needed to realize the vision.
- D. You propose that the target architecture is defined first, followed by transition planning. This is because the vision is well understood and the strategic architecture agreed. The target first approach will ensure that the current problems and inefficiencies of the baseline architecture are not carried forward, and that the proposed solution addresses the requirements identified in the initial study.
