2.1 Question 1
SCENARIO 1
You are serving as the Lead Architect in a multi-national company that operates production facilities in
24 countries and sells its products in over 100 countries. It has three sectors: Transportation, Energy
Systems, and Automation. Each sector has several business units that operate independently. An
Executive Vice-President heads each of the business units. Traditionally, each business unit has acted
independently with few shared customers or suppliers. They were expected to share financial and human
resource information from the corporate headquarters.
e
A consultancy firm has recommended a realignment that will enhance sharing of product information
across business units. The implementation of this strategic realignment will require the development of
integrated customer information systems and product information systems.
The company has a mature Enterprise Architecture practice and uses the TOGAF standard as the basis for
its method and deliverables. An architecture development program has been created to address the
pl
development of these capabilities and is about to commence. The Enterprise Architecture program is
sponsored by the CIO.
At the most recent meeting of the Corporate Board, the Chairman of the Board expressed a concern about
the risk to the business while a potentially disruptive program is being rolled out across the company. He
noted that several competitors had tried similar initiatives with poor results. The Corporate Board agreed
that this concern must be satisfactorily addressed before this program can commence.
m
Question 1
Refer to the Scenario
You have been asked to recommend an approach to address the concerns raised.
Based on the TOGAF standard, which of the following is the best answer?
Sa
Answers
A. You recommend that risk mitigation activities be conducted in the Technology Architecture phase to
determine the implementation organization’s degree of risk aversion with regard to the proposed business
transformation prior to deployment. Based on that, if the Corporate Board is not willing to accept a
reasonable amount of risk, then you recommend they put in place a set of parallel systems to mitigate the
risks.
B. You recommend that techniques be used throughout the program to manage risk including risk
monitoring. This will enable you to identify, classify, and mitigate the risks associated with the proposed
transformation and ensure suitable business continuity plans are in place. In the Implementation
Governance phase, you ensure a residual risk assessment is conducted to determine the best way to
manage risks that cannot be mitigated.
C. You recommend classifying the risks in terms of time, cost, and scope during the Architecture Vision
phase. This will enable you to ensure that certain risks with certain types of impact are managed by the

right individuals. You would then ensure that the Architecture Contracts issued in the Implementation
Governance phase address those initial risks and include adequate risk monitoring actions to confirm they
have been addressed.
D. You recommend that a risk management framework is used in Phase G, the Implementation
Governance phase. This would include a risk classification scheme and completion of worksheets for risk
assessment. This will enable you to assess the risks associated with the proposed business transformation.
You then ensure that the initial level of risk is well understood before issuing the Architecture Contracts.

2.2 Question 2
SCENARIO 2
You are serving as a consultant to the Chief Architect of a low-cost airline. The airline was formed in
2002 and has its main base at a major international airport on the east coast of North America. It currently
serves 65 destinations in 20 US states, and nine countries in the Caribbean, South America, and Latin
America.
The airline has received approval to acquire a smaller regional carrier that will extend the market it
reaches and enable it to feed its primary routes with connecting flights from smaller cities.
e
In order to integrate the new acquisition, an Enterprise Architecture program has been initiated, using the
TOGAF standard as the method and guiding framework. The CIO is the sponsor of the activity. The Chief
Architect has indicated that this program should make use of iteration with the ADM.
As the program moves into Phase A within the initial iteration of an Architecture Capability cycle, the
pl
CIO has emphasized the need to ensure that the architecture is embraced across the enterprise. She noted
that past acquisitions have failed to engage the key players, and this needs to be fully addressed.
Question 2
Refer to the Scenario
You have been asked to explain how you would identify and engage the stakeholders at this stage of the
m
program.
Based on the TOGAF standard, which of the following is the best answer?
Answers
A. You would conduct a series of business scenarios with the stakeholders impacted by the acquisition,
and determine which stakeholders are likely to block the initiative and which are likely to support it. This
Sa
would let you identify and understand business needs, and derive the business requirements that the
architecture development has to address. You would identify the most relevant architecture viewpoints
and validate with the stakeholders.
B. You would focus on communications with the stakeholders at the regional carrier as effective
communication of targeted information to the right stakeholders at the right time is a critical success
factor for such a merger. You would develop a Communications Plan, which would allow you to plan and
manage the process. It would ensure that stakeholders are aware of the key features of the architecture and
have the opportunity to comment.
C. You would conduct a pilot project as part of Phase A to demonstrate to the stakeholders the technical
feasibility of the approaches that are available from your preferred suppliers. You would map the possible
solutions to a viewpoint library. Once the stakeholders confirm the approach meets their requirements you
would then complete a Statement of Work and issue an Architecture Contract to your suppliers.
