Scenario

Please read this scenario prior to answering the Question

You are serving as the Lead Architect for an Enterprise Architecture project team within a multinational oil and gas corporation. It is organized into two major business groupings:

-Upstream operations which include exploration for crude oil and natural gas and operating the infrastructure necessary to deliver oil and gas to the market.

-Downstream operations which include the manufacturing, distribution and marketing activities for oil products and chemicals

Safety is a priority for the company, with the aim to ensure id causes zero harm to people and the environment. The company has to satisfy the regulatory requirements of each of the countries it operates in.

The downstream business generates a third of the company’s profits worldwide and includes more than 30,000 petrol stations and various oil refineries. In some countries it also includes oil refining, a retail station network, lubricants manufacture and marketing, industrial fuel and lubricants sales. The practice for the downstream business has been to operate locally managed by local “operating companies”.

The Governing Board is concerned about the risk posed by operating in this complex global environment with a large part of the downstream business represented by local operating companies. As a result, the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) has appointed a Chief Compliance Officer (CEO) to be responsible for overseeing and managing compliance issues for the corporation. The CCO reports directly to the CEO.

The CCO has approved the expenditure of resources to establish an Enterprise Architecture program, and has mandated the use of the TOGAF standard as the framework. He has requested to be informed about the status of downstream operations that could impact regulatory compliance. He also wants the corporate legal staff and auditors to analyze all proposed new downstream operations to ensure that they are within the legal guidelines for each country. In addition, the local operating companies should be able to see that the architecture is appropriate for their needs.

The architecture project team has worked within the sponsor to complete a detailed Request for Architecture Work providing the high level project description. As the project commences the next phase, the necessary approvals from corporate and line management have been …..

Refer to the Scenario

You have been asked to recommend an approach that would enable the development of an architecture that addresses the needs of the Chief Compliance Officer, legal staff, auditors and the local operating companies.

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

A.

You recommend that a set of models be created for each project architecture that can be used to ensure that the system will be compliant with the local regulations. A formal review should be held with the stakeholders to verify that their concerns have been properly addressed by the models.

B.

You recommend that an analysis of the stakeholders is undertaken, including development of a Stakeholder Map. This will allow the architectures to define groups of stakeholders who have common concerns. The concerns and relevant viewpoints should be defined for each group of stakeholders, and recorded in the Architecture Vision document.

C.

You recommend that the ArchiMate modeling language is used to create a set of models that can be applied uniformly across all architecture projects. Each architecture should then be defined based on this fixed set of models. All concerned parties can then examine the models to ensure that their needs have been addressed.

D.

You recommend that a Communications Plan be created to address the powerful and influential stakeholders. This plan should include a report that summarizes the key features of the architecture with respect to each location and reflect the stakeholders’ requirements. You will check with each stakeholder that their concerns are being addressed.

Which of the following best describes the Reference Library within the Architecture Repository?

A.

Guidelines and templates used to create new architectures

B.

Processes to support governance of the Architecture Repository

C.

A description of the organization specific architecture framework and method

D.

Specifications to which architectures must conform

E.

A record of the governance activity across the enterprise

Complete the sentence. The Architecture Landscape is divided into levels, Strategic Architectures, _____________

A.

Segment Architectures, and Capability Architectures

B.

Solution Architectures, and Corporate Architectures

C.

Gap Architectures, and Target Architectures

D.

Transitional Architectures, and Incremental Architectures

E.

Baseline Architectures, and To Be Architectures

Scenario

Please read this scenario prior to answering the Question

You are serving as the Lead Architect for the enterprise architecture team at a multinational company. The company has grown rapidly by acquisition and has inherited numerous supply chain processes and related IT systems. Several supply chain processes have had problems related to the timing of purchases, which has led to excess inventory. The Vice President in charge of Supply Chain Management has made the decision to consolidate and reduce redundant processes and systems. The company will move to a " Just-in-time " supply chain management system so as to keep inventory costs low.

The TOGAF standard is used for internal Enterprise Architecture activities. This project is using an iterative approach for executing the Architecture Development Method (ADM).

At present, there are no particularly useful architectural assets in the Architecture Repository related to this initiative. All assets will need to be acquired, customized, or created.The company prefers to implement commercial off the shelf package applications with little customization. The CIO, who is the project sponsor, has stated that she is not concerned about preserving the existing supply chain management processes or systems.

The architecture development project has completed Phase A and has started a number of iteration cycles to develop the Architecture. As a packaged application is being considered, the next iteration will include both the Business, Application and Data Architectures. Key stakeholder concerns that should be addressed by these architectures include:

1. What groups of people should be involved in supply chain management-related business processes?

2. What non-supply chain management applications will need to be integrated with the new supply chain management applications?

3. What data will need to be shared?

Refer to the Scenario

[Note: You may need to refer to Chapter 35 of the reference text in order to answer this question.] You have been asked to identify the most appropriate catalogs, matrices, and diagrams to support the next iteration of Architecture development.

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

A.

In the next iteration of Architecture development, you would describe the Baseline Business Architecture with a Value Chain diagram and a Baseline Business Process catalog. You would describe the Baseline Data Architecture with a Data diagram. You would describe the Baseline Application Architecture with an Environment and Location diagram.

B.

In the next iteration of Architecture development, you would describe the Target Business Architecture with an Organization/Actor catalog, a Business Service/Function catalog and Data Lifecycle diagrams. You would describe the Target Application Architecture with an Application Interaction matrix and Application Communications diagrams.

C.

You would describe the Baseline Business Architecture with a Business Service/Function catalog, an Organization/Actor catalog and a Data Entity/Business Function matrix. You would describe the Baseline Data Architecture using a Data Entity/Data Component catalog. You would describe the Baseline Application Architecture with an Application/Function matrix.

D.

You would describe the Target Business Architecture with a Business Service/Function catalog, and a Business Interaction matrix. You would describe the Target Data Architecture with a Data Entity/Business Function matrix and an Application/Data matrix. You would describe the Target Application Architecture with Application Communication diagrams and an Application Interaction matrix.
