2.1 Question 1
SCENARIO 1: Acme Manufacturing
Acme Manufacturing is a multinational conglomerate 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.
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.
Acme has a mature enterprise architecture practice and uses TOGAF 9 for the basis of the Acme
Architecture Framework (method and deliverables). An architecture development program has been
created to address the 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.
Question 1
Refer to the Acme Manufacturing Scenario

Your role is the Lead Architect.
You have been asked to recommend an approach to address the concerns raised.
Based on TOGAF 10, which of the following is the best answer?
Answers
A. You propose that a Risk Aversion Assessment be conducted in the Implementation Governance phase
to determine the implementation organization’s degree of risk aversion with regard to the proposed
business transformation. Based on that, if the company 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 risk management techniques be used throughout the program. This will enable
you to assess the risks associated with the proposed business transformation and ensure suitable business
continuity plans are in place. You then ensure that in the Implementation Governance phase, a residual
risk assessment is conducted to determine the best way to manage risks that cannot be mitigated.
C. You propose to conduct a risk assessment in the Architecture Vision phase. This will enable you to
mitigate all initial risks. You then ensure that the Architecture Contracts issued in the Implementation
Governance phase address those initial risks.
D. You propose to utilize a risk management framework in the Implementation Governance phase. 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: Atlas Airlines
Atlas Airlines 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.
In order to integrate the new acquisition, an enterprise architecture program has been initiated, using
TOGAF 9 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 the Architecture Context cycle, the CIO
has emphasized the need to ensure that the architecture is embraced across the enterprise.
Question 2
Refer to the Atlas Airlines Scenario

Your role is a consultant advising the Chief Architect.
You have been asked to explain how you would identify and engage the stakeholders at this stage of the
program.
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. You
would identify the most relevant viewpoints and validate with the stakeholders.
B. You decide that communications with the stakeholders at the regional carrier is most important. You
develop a Communications Plan to ensure they are aware of the key features of the architecture and have
the opportunity to comment.
C. You decide to conduct a pilot project in Phase A to demonstrate to the stakeholders the technical
feasibility of the approaches that are available from your preferred suppliers.
D. You would identify key stakeholders across both Atlas Airlines and the new acquisition. You would
classify their positions and influence, recording the results in a stakeholder map. You would then focus on
key stakeholders ensuring that you identify the most relevant viewpoints for each stakeholder and validate
that their concerns are being addressed.
2.3 Question 3
SCENARIO 3: Blue Arrow Bank
Blue Arrow Bank has been in business for over 60 years, growing through a series of acquisitions with
other financial institutions. It has a large IT service department and routinely has over 100 infrastructure
and service projects in progress. The Governing Board has decided that a more structured approach to its
infrastructure and services is necessary to safeguard the business, especially given the recent turmoil in
the financial markets.
As a result, the CIO has sponsored the creation of an Enterprise Architecture group. This group has
adopted TOGAF 9 as the basis for its enterprise architecture, developed an Architecture Vision, which
has been approved, and defined a set of domain architectures. The time has come to consolidate the
domain architectures and review the current initiatives and projects in the corporate portfolio as well as
potentially create new projects in order to realize the vision.
The CIO has stated that the implementation approach must accommodate the constantly occurring
changes to the technology and business landscapes. Shareholders want to see not just a vision but want to
know that there is a flexible, integrated Implementation and Migration Plan that has the best chance of
realizing the vision in these uncertain times.
Question 3
Refer to the Blue Arrow Bank Scenario

Your role is that of the Lead Enterprise Architect, leading a group of domain architects as well as working
with the corporate project management office, strategic planners, and operations management planners.
A meeting has been scheduled with the stakeholders and you have been asked to explain how you intend
to start implementing the enterprise architecture.
Answers
A. You explain that the CIO wants to rapidly implement new systems and wants to leverage all of the
existing projects and their deliverables to address the findings from the gap analysis results for the
architecture domains. The EA team will request from the stakeholders all of the existing project charters
and architectures so that the architects can integrate them together in a coherent manner. They will inform
the operations management staff of their plans so that they can prepare to support the deliverables. Each
one of the domain architects will then come up with specific projects to address their gaps and then
consider whether existing projects need to have their scope revised. The sum of the work required in each
one of the domains will then be consolidated into a strategic implementation and migration strategy that
will include a roadmap.
B. You stress the need for urgent action as the corporation has been hit by the turmoil in the financial
markets. You will implement the defined architectures as soon as possible and will have to cancel all
existing projects and either create new ones or completely revise the scope of existing ones. In order to
save time you will take the requirements from Phases B through D and create new IT projects for each
one of the requirements that will enable the projects to create their individual requirements-based project
architectures. The projects will work together through the creation of new point-to-point interfaces
following defined interoperability architecture guidelines.
C. You describe the concept of Transition Architectures as a means of continuously delivering business
value in an incremental manner. You explain that the business value can be achieved by all the projects
delivering their increments in a coordinated approach to achieve the targeted business capabilities. You
will consolidate the gap analysis results from each of the domain architectures and analyze the
dependencies so as to come up with a work-breakdown structure. You will examine what is achievable
and identify logical work packages that can become the basis for project scopes or the leveraging of
existing projects. Business Transformation and the maintenance of a secure infrastructure are major
concerns that need to be addressed. You will then hold a series of facilitated sessions to seek consensus
and agree to a high-level roadmap for an implementation and migration strategy.
D. You explain that the CIO wants to transform the corporation and would like the stakeholders to
provide input for what has to be done to implement the defined domain architectures. There has been
thorough requirements management and the intent is to ensure that all stakeholders will be allowed to
contribute to her EA plan. The joint analysis will then result in a detailed list of work activities that will
be rolled into an IT portfolio plan that will eventually give rise to a series of projects. The intent is to
create a comprehensive Target Architecture that will include the detailed technology choices for the
organization for the next five years. A full report will be completed highlighting what was done including
a detailed dependencies and factors assessment.
2.4 Question 4
SCENARIO 4: Brown & Babcock Manufacturing
Brown & Babcock, a global manufacturing firm, has decided to improve the efficiency of its sales force
by replacing its legacy fax and paper-based configuration and ordering systems with a hand-held device
solution. This will impact both the firm and its suppliers.
Brown & Babcock use TOGAF 10 for their internal Enterprise Architecture and use an iterative approach
to applying the ADM. The enterprise architecture team has completed the Architecture Context iteration
cycle and the first iteration of the Architecture Definition cycle, using a Baseline First approach. The CIO
is the sponsor of the Enterprise Architecture program.
The initial iteration has established the approach, the scope, and vision for the project. A set of
architecture principles has been established based on TOGAF 10, . The CIO has highlighted the
importance of adhering to the following principles:
• Data is an asset.
• Data is shared.
• Data is accessible.
The initial iteration has also led to the establishment of a number of business goals and objectives for the
new target system. The principal goal is to give the sales force in the field direct access to the sales
process, allowing sales staff to create and verify product configurations, check pricing and availability,
and to place an order while still on the client site with the customer.
As part of achieving this goal, the architectures developed will need to address the following stakeholder
concerns:
• What changes to existing business processes are needed?
• What data will need to be shared?
• How will distributed data be secured?
• What non-sales applications will need to be integrated with any new sales applications?
Question 4
Refer to the Brown & Babcock Manufacturing Scenario

Your role is that of Lead Enterprise Architect.
You have been asked to identify the most appropriate architecture viewpoints for the second iteration of
the Architecture Definition cycle.
Answers
A. Describe the Business Architecture with a Process/Event/Control/Product catalog and Role catalog.
Describe the Data Architecture with a Data Entity/Data Component catalog, System/Data matrix, and
Data Security diagram.
Describe the Application Architecture with an Interface catalog.

Describe the Data Architecture with a System/Data matrix, Data Migration diagram, and Data Lifecycle
diagram.
Describe the Application Architecture with an Application Communication diagram.
D. Describe the Business Architecture with a Location catalog and Role catalog.
Describe the Data Architecture with a Data Entity/Business Function matrix, System/Data matrix, and
Data Security diagram.
Describe the Application Architecture with an Application Interaction matrix.
2.5 Question 5
SCENARIO 5: EuroInsCo
A European Insurance company has grown substantially over the last 15 years. Due to the many mergers
and acquisitions, the application portfolio of the enterprise has grown significantly with little
consideration for consolidation or rationalization. Each business unit has managed its own applications,
with no coordination between them. In the last two years the competition in the insurance industry has
increased with the advent of many Internet-based comparison sites leading to increased pressure to reduce
the operational expenses including IT.
The Corporate Board has approved the directive to establish an Enterprise Architecture program within
the company to integrate and rationalize the application portfolio and introduce a company-wide customer
information management system. The Corporate Board has also given a strategic direction that the
company should expand its markets significantly to cover all the member country states of the European
Union in the next 24 months.
The company has no existing enterprise architecture. The CIO is the sponsor of the program and has
mandated TOGAF 9 for the architecture method and deliverables. The CIO has established an
Architecture Board and called the first meeting.
Question 5
Refer to EuroInsCo Scenario

You have been asked how you will establish the Enterprise Architecture program.
Answers
A. You work with the Architecture Board to develop and tailor TOGAF 10, so it can be integrated with the
existing procedures established by the Program Management Office. In addition, you examine the
relationship to other processes and frameworks for systems development, operations management, and
governance. You then conduct a study to determine the footprint of the enterprise architecture.
B. You issue a Request for Architecture Work so that the necessary resources needed to define an
Architecture Vision can be allocated. You then conduct a business scenario that addresses the Board’s
mandate upon expansion. Based on that, you define a Common Systems Architecture that will guide the
selection of Solutions Building Blocks for integrating the systems across business units.
C. You start by ensuring that there is agreement on the scope of the enterprise architecture, and identify
the key business drivers. You document and validate the requirements for architecture work. You develop
a set of architecture principles with the Architecture Board that will guide the architecture work. You then
consider how to best tailor TOGAF 10 for use, and identify tools for supporting the program.
D. You start by conducting an Architecture Maturity Assessment to assess the ability of EuroInsCo to
change. Using that input you then apply the TOGAF ADM to define the overall requirements for
integrating a new company information management system into the enterprise. You then work with the
Architecture Board to define the business goals that will drive the enterprise architecture program.
2.6 Question 6
SCENARIO 6: MooStar Inc.
MooStar Inc. is a telecommunications company that recently formed through the merging of three other
telecommunication companies. The business operating model has been unified, and as part of the
integration of the three organizations Enterprise Architecture is being conducted.
They have adopted the TOGAF 10 Architecture Development Method. The Architecture Board has
approved the outline Implementation and Migration Plan and they are now at the stage of conducting
detailed migration planning. A working group has been formed that involves all the key architects and the
stakeholders from the corporate matrix (those who will work on the project).
It is recognized that others outside the EA team will have the responsibility to fund, build, support, and
use what is put in place based on the architecture. For the company, getting this right is critical especially
as the competition in the marketplace has been fierce and the lines of business have been resistant to
implementing any new business model.
Question 6
Refer to the MooStar Inc. Scenario

You have been asked to describe:
• How you would conduct migration planning
• What you would be implementing
• Who you would involve
• What would be the major deliverable(s)
Answers
A. Migration planning would be conducted by the Chief Architect and his personal staff and shared with
the other domain architects. When ready the Implementation and Migration Plan will be sent to the
Architecture Board secretariat for circulation before the next meeting. The plan will include a prioritized
list of projects, their approximate cost, and the recommended way ahead. Comments from the Board (and
their staff) would be incorporated into the plan and then the individual projects would have to go in front
of the board to secure approval for project resources for the next project increment. The Implementation
and Migration Plan would include a high-level GANT chart that could be used as a roadmap.
B. Migration planning should be conducted as a series of steps: confirming and then coordinating the
corporate management frameworks involved; establishing clear business value for the deliverables;
creating detailed resource estimates for the work to be completed; determining the sequence, prioritizing
the work, and then updating the Transition Architectures. When this is completed the Implementation and
Migration Plan can be finalized. The Business Planning, Portfolio Management, and Operations
Management groups should all be involved in the development of the major deliverables. Once the
deliverables have been completed, an architecture evolution cycle should be established and regular
meetings of the stakeholders scheduled to keep the architecture up-to-date.
C. As projects were formed in Phase E, the Implementation and Migration Strategy can be used to create
project plans focusing on scope, budget, and time. Project Management best practices will then be used to
conduct more detailed analysis and come up with business value on a project by project basis. Project
Managers will assign business value and prepare submissions to the IT governance Board for funding.
The Chief Architect will sit as a member of the Board and advise members with respect to the criticality
of the project and its relative importance. Over time the projects will continuously come forward for
renewed funding and approval to proceed. The sum of the project plans and roadmaps will serve as the
detailed EA Implementation and Migration Plan.
D. Migration planning should be conducted by the Enterprise Architecture team, in particular the domain
(Business, Application, Data, Technology, and Security) architects who would look at implementing the
various Transition Architectures using sound project management techniques. The EA team will then
create a prioritized list of activities and place the high-level Architecture Building Blocks in an
Implementation and Migration Plan and Roadmap. These deliverables would be circulated around the
organization for comments that would be selectively integrated. The circulation would be to the lines of
business and the members of the Executive Board so that they would be ready to fund the proposed EA
work.
2.7 Question 7
SCENARIO 7: Reading Ltd.
Freight Logistics, a major business unit of Reading Ltd., has selected a Commercial Off-the-Shelf
(COTS) Market Analytics solution in order to improve its capability to respond to market demands for its
new rail-based freight delivery service. Freight Logistics has demonstrated that the current system does
not provide the required functionality to support the marketing activities. Its performance limitations
cause unacceptable delays and missed opportunities to meet market targets. Clearly, the current system is
costing the unit in terms of lost revenue.
Reading Ltd. has a mature enterprise architecture capability spanning all of its business units and has
recently adopted TOGAF 10 as the basis for its ongoing program. The CIO is the sponsor of the enterprise
architecture practice.
The enterprise architecture team initiated a project with Freight Logistics that has defined the business
vision and requirements for the new system. It includes a detailed business process analysis. A solution
has been proposed that can support the existing applications and technologies currently in place. The
proposed solution requires a non-standard operating system platform to support the business application
and also requires different web server software to the current supported web server solutions. The
Architecture Board has held a review, and it was noted that some of these project requirements were not
consistent with the firm's current infrastructure standards.
After discussions with several senior executives, the CIO feels that he must support the business unit’s
urgent need to deploy the Market Analytics package. He has approved the implementation. A project
manager has been chosen, and a feasibility meeting has been held with a decision to move forward. The
project is critical and must be completed as quickly as possible; a contract has been signed with the
software vendor to implement the solution.
The vendor has provided a statement of work that has passed through the migration planning phase, and
major impacts to existing systems and the infrastructure have been documented.
The CIO has asked the enterprise architecture team to prepare for Phase G, ensuring that the key
performance indicators for system performance and security are met, and the project remains within
budget.
Question 7
Refer to the Reading Ltd. Scenario

Your role is the Chief Enterprise Architect. You have been asked to recommend a plan to implement the
direction from the CIO.
Answers
A. Based on the review held by the Architecture Board, you recommend the vendor modify the web
server software and hardware components in the product so they can meet the current infrastructure
standards. You recommend development of an in-house prototype of the product to investigate coding
change options.
You would then obtain the approval of the development leads for supporting the development effort,
develop an Architecture Contract, and provide the project plan to the project manager, emphasizing
adherence to schedule. After implementation, you schedule frequent operational reviews to monitor
performance of the solution.
B. You review the output from the Architecture Board and recommend the co-existence of a second web
server standard, noting the additional hardware and support skills issues. You add this technology to the
currently supported inventory of standard products in the company Standards Information Base.
You direct the project architects to construct an Architecture Contract with the development team. You
emphasize the importance of using appropriate architecture compliance reviews in addition to the test
plans required for performance, and monitor the testing results. You establish agreements with the
business unit for service-level agreements and delivery dates. After implementation, you identify re-
usable objects and procedures.
C. Based on the recommendations of the Architecture Board, you would eliminate the non-standard web
server from the solution. You create a revised plan and Architecture Contract for the development of a
replacement application and server environment using standard re-usable components and internal
development resources.
You would inform the CIO that in the long term the development of this standardized version is the
lower-cost option. You ensure that the budget implications to these recommendations are presented to the
finance committee. You hold frequent project management meetings to monitor compliance to standards
and the revised schedule.
D. You prepare an expanded risk analysis and inform the development team of the required deliverables
and the dates. You prepare a detailed impact analysis of the use of a “non-standard” web and hardware
solution. You construct an Architecture Contract. You obtain approval from the CIO prior to
implementation.
You schedule a test of the solution just prior to implementation according to user performance
requirements. You deliver the required artifacts and archive them when implementation is completed.
2.8 Question 8
SCENARIO 8: RealValue Inc.
RealValue Inc. is an online grocer in Los Angeles, California. After several years of continued profitable
operations, the Board of Directors has approved a strategic plan to expand operations to major cities in the
Southwestern United States.
To realize this strategy, management has an enterprise architecture program in place to plan and
implement the rollout which is estimated to take five years to complete. The program needs to consider
how to take the current organization, physical plant, and information systems and transform them to
support expanded operations.
TOGAF 10 has been adopted as the methodology and framework for the enterprise architecture program.
The CIO is the sponsor.
A major concern that must be addressed is how to migrate from a “best-of-breed” logistics system that
was built in the early days. It is not expected that this system will be able to scale to support the expanded
operations. The CIO recognizes this and has an option to purchase a solution from an industry leader in
online sales and fulfillment. This is being piloted in a major fulfillment center in Southern California.
As part of the pilot program, the Architecture Board has requested a compliance review be held at the
fulfilment center to determine how well the solution is being implemented. The timing of the compliance
review is such that there is still time to correct any major shortcomings with the proposed solution.
The status report from the review coordinator, who is on-site, notes that the following tasks have been
completed:
• Identified project principals
• Determined the scope of the review
• Scheduled architecture review meetings at the site
They also note that the implementation teams have complained on a number of occasions that the new
system is difficult to integrate with the warehouse automation system that is installed at their location.
The Chief Architect has been concerned that some of those complaints have more to do with personal
preferences than with the actual technical merits of the system or its ease of integration. The next stage of
the review is to interview the project principals.
Question 8
Refer to the RealValue Inc. Scenario

The review team is led by an architect from your team, who has been assigned as the project architect.
What approach should you adopt to ensure that the team is able to conduct the reviews successfully?
Answers
A. You meet with the project architect and check she clearly understands the purpose of the review. You
ask her to ensure that the review team is objective and fair in their interactions with the principals and
uses the checklists to frame the review. You ask the project architect to identify the issues behind the
implementation team complaints.
B. You meet with the review team. You brief them on the possible hidden agendas and ask them to take a
de-personalized approach if at all possible. You stress that any areas of non-compliance may indicate
significant architectural gaps with the proposed solution.
C. You meet with the review team. You let them know that it is important to obtain a high degree of
compliance and that accommodating the preferences of the implementation team at the fulfilment center
is not an option. You request they ensure that the review covers all aspects of the development work. You
note that it is especially important to critique the development methods that are being used by the
implementation team.
D. You review the checklists that the project team has prepared for the interviews to ensure they meet the
criteria for the program and the business objectives. You meet with the project architect to confirm the
checklist contents and ask her to ensure that the review team is objective and fair in their interactions with
all participants. You stress that the sponsor is looking for recommendations relating to the pilot solution,
to determine its readiness and suitability.
3. ANSWERS
Question 1
Topic: TOGAF 10: Risk Assessment
Scenario Acme Manufacturing
Subjects 15.4, 31.7-1
Rationale It is important that the candidate understand how the risks
associated with an architecture activity can be identified,
categorized, and mitigated.
Most Correct B This answer summarizes the approach recommended in the
TOGAF chapter on Risk Management. It recognizes that risk
has to be managed through all phases. An initial assessment of
risks, both initial and residual, should be conducted. In the
Implementation Governance Phase, those residual risks should
be understood and managed to the extent possible.
Second Best D This choice is less good since it performs no Risk Assessment
prior to the Implementation Governance phase. This answer
also does not address the management of residual risks.
Third Best C TOGAF does recommend conducting an initial risk assessment
in Phase A, but this answer does not address the mitigation of
risks or residual risk assessment.
Distracter A There is no such thing as a Risk Aversion Assessment in
TOGAF. Putting in place a parallel solution would seem
excessive and have its own risks.
Question 2
Topic TOGAF 10: Stakeholder Analysis
Scenario Atlas Airlines
Subjects 24-1
Rationale It is important for the candidate to be able to describe the
TOGAF approach to Stakeholder Management and recognize
that it is a key technique for engaging stakeholders.
Most Correct D This is the best answer. This is the technique that TOGAF
recommends for identifying and engaging the key stakeholders
in Phase A. The stakeholder map is a major product output and
used to support other outputs in this phase.
Second Best A This answer is less correct since it omits the stakeholder map
approach recommended by TOGAF 9 to explicitly identify
stakeholders. Business scenarios are an appropriate technique to
develop the Architecture Vision and can accomplish some of
the engagement. This answer also lacks the identification of key
players and the active engagement policy of the stakeholder
map.
Third Best B This answer is less correct since it focuses on stakeholders at
the regional carrier only. The Communications Plan is produced
from the work done by the stakeholder management approach
suggested in answer A.
Distracter C This is not a correct answer. TOGAF does not recommend
doing pilot projects in Phase A to assess solution feasibility.
Question 3
Topic TOGAF 10 Level 2: ADM Phases Architecture Definition;
Phase E: Opportunities and Solutions
Scenario Blue Arrow Bank
Subjects KLP 13.*
Rationale This question determines whether the candidate understands the
implications of architecture transformation especially in an
existing environment
Most Correct C This is the best answer. It addresses the collaborative nature
with which EA implementation has to be conducted, the use of
capability increments, and the migration planning techniques to
deliver Transition Architectures, as well as the need to focus on
the delivery of continuous business value.
Second Best A This is a less collaborative approach that addresses the
deliverables of the architectures but in a way that could create
friction within the organization. It looks at rolling up the work
in each domain rather than consolidating the gaps and creating
projects as a function of capability management.
Third Best D Another less collaborative approach that has as its output a
detailed technology Implementation and Migration Plan,
negating the impact of using Transition Architectures delivering
incremental business value and absorbing technology and
business environment change.
Distracter B This is the wrong answer. This would produce IT-centric
architectures and plans that ignore proper documentation and
coordination with other stakeholders in order to deliver IT
infrastructure as soon as possible.
Question 4
Topic TOGAF 10: Viewpoint Selection
Scenario Brown & Babcock Manufacturing
Subjects 35, 19
Rationale This question tests the ability of the candidate to reference
TOGAF 10 in order to select viewpoints to address specific
concerns.
Most Correct A This is the best answer. The Process/Event/Control/Product
catalog allows an enterprise to identify the full chain of impacts
resulting from changing a high-level process (addressing
concern 1). The Data Entity/Data Component catalog and
System/Data matrix address concern 2 (the sharing of data). The
Data Security diagram and Network Computing/Hardware
diagram would address concern 3 (securing of distributed data).
A Role catalog can be used also to support the security
definition for the enterprise (addressing concern 3). The
Interface catalog allows the interaction between applications to
be developed and so will address concern 4.
Second Best D This choice is less good since it does not address concern 1
explicitly. The viewpoints selected address the other concerns.
Note that the Application Interaction matrix is the matrix
equivalent of the Interface catalog.
Third Best C This choice as well as not addressing concern 1, falls short on
defining roles to aid security (concern 3), Data Sharing (concern
2), and Data Security (concern 3) compared to the most correct
answer.
Distracter B This answer is incorrect as it does not directly address the
concerns.
Question 5
Topic TOGAF 10: ADM Preliminary Phase
Scenario EuroInsCo
Subjects 6.4-1
Rationale This question checks that the candidate understands that
TOGAF has a Preliminary Phase and that they can identify the
appropriate procedures and steps given the situation.
Most Correct C This is the best choice. It follows the procedures outlined in the
Preliminary Phase. As this is establishing the program, these are
the key steps for this phase.
Second Best A This choice is less correct as it misses out scoping, identifying
drivers, and developing principles that would be very much
needed in this establishment situation.
Third Best D This choice can be performed as part of the Preliminary Phase,
but it is not the immediate priority as the scenario is program
establishment. This omits key items, such as scoping the
enterprise and establishing principles, and moves forward to
apply the ADM before that program establishment is completed.
Distracter B This choice is incorrect because it skips past the program
establishment that would be provided in the Preliminary Phase
into Phase A activities, and begins execution of an architecture
project focused on the Solution Architecture.
Question 6
Topic TOGAF 10 Level 2: ADM Phases Architecture Definition
Phase F: Migration Planning
Scenario MooStar Inc.
Subjects KLP 14.*, 28.*
Rationale This question determines whether the candidate understands the implications
of architecture transformation especially in an existing environment in Phase
F: Migration Planning.
Most Correct B This is the best answer. The answer is concise and complete as per Phase F,
with an emphasis on building corporate consensus and ensuring that the
Transition Architectures are solidly based upon business value.
Second Best D This is a less correct approach, as it is incomplete, missing key steps of Phase
F. This also lacks the collaborative planning in close cooperation with the
stakeholders within and outside of the organization.
Third Best A The approach is also incomplete. Phase F emphasizes collaborative planning
in close cooperation with the stakeholders within and outside of the
organization, and this lacks that approach.
Distracter C This is a wrong answer. The intent of enterprise architecture using TOGAF is
to provide detailed guidance to the projects so that they can focus on
operational design issues rather than strategic ones.
Question 7
Topic TOGAF 10 Level 2 ADM Phases: Governance (Phase G)
Scenario Reading Ltd.
Subjects Implementation Governance
Rationale This question deals with the need for Implementation
Governance of development projects.
Most Correct B All of the criteria fall within the Phase G. The architect accepts
the mandate of the CIO and decides that a second standard is an
acceptable compromise, since time is of the essence and a
contract has already been signed with the vendor per his product
design. The architect then works with the development team to
draw up an Architecture Contract. The architect emphasizes use
of compliance reviews, the testing of the performance as the
solution is developed (a critical user requirement), and gets buy-
in and visibility of SLAs and schedule with the business unit.
Finally, after implementation, re-useable artifacts and objects
are collected and are available for future projects.
Second Best A This answer is less correct as the response (to recommend the
vendor change the product) may take time and, as noted in the
scenario, this is a time-critical project. Performing a prototype
would reduce the risk, but again at the expense of time and
perhaps budget.
The project plan should be drawn up by the project manager not
the architect.
Finally, performance is paramount, yet the architect is
suggesting monitoring the performance after implementation,
rather than testing the product’s performance before
implementation.
Third Best D This approach follows the CIO direction but focuses on risk
rather than co-existence. There is no negotiation with the
implementation team – just a handover of schedules – or with
the business unit regarding service levels.
The suggestion to test the solution just prior to implementation
is too late, since the solution has already been constructed and
any surprises will likely impact schedule and budget. The
attention to artifacts is superfluous.
Distracter C This is the wrong answer. The scenario states that the decision
has already been made, and a contract put in place. This
proposed solution does not address the CIO mandate which
stated that this is time-critical and approval had been given to
move ahead with the selected vendor. The consultation with the
finance committee is irrelevant. Holding frequent project
management meetings is not the Enterprise Architect’s job, but
the job of the project manager.
Question 8
Topic TOGAF 10: Conducting Compliance Reviews
Scenario RealValue Inc.
Subjects 15.4, 48.6
Rationale It is important for the candidate to be able to manage the
process of conducting compliance reviews so that they have the
ability to work with the implementation and deployment
personnel to ensure that a system is properly implemented.
Most Correct D This answer is most correct because it points to the need to
create and tailor checklists before interviewing the project
principals. It also stresses that those being interviewed are
treated with respect and notes the desired outcomes for the
review; that is, the CIO is looking for recommendations on the
readiness.
Second Best A These are good suggestions, but miss the check to ensure the
checklists are suitable. The focus on understanding the
complaint should be part of leading to the recommendation.
Third Best B This response fails to mention the checklists. It does note a good
approach to handling hidden agendas. It appears to pre-judge a
problem of non-compliance.
Distract er C This statement biases the review and precludes an objective, fair
review of the technical merits of the system being implemented.
TOGAF states that the focus should be on the work being
performed, not the development methods being used.
