MightyGears produces components for the Car industry. Driven by the global financial downturn they
are looking to reduce IT costs. They believe there is a cost saving opportunity within IT but this is not
quantified in terms of potential savings nor is there an agreed target architecture. Final decisions on
the solutions are not yet fully agreed. They have completed the first pass architecture and now are
looking at the best opportunities and solutions to meet their financial goals.
You are the Chief Architect from a consulting organization brought into review the work to date by
MightyGears and to make recommendations to the CIO and the board on the opportunities and
solutions present.
Refer to the scenario above
Which of the following answers best describes how TOGAF recommends examining the opportunities
and solutions before presenting to the board?
Choose one of the following answers

Accepted Answer

I would look at the corporate culture and attitude to change, understand the constraints such as
cost and the required time horizons. I would then look at the architecture work to ensure it is
complete and seek to address any gaps. I would review the functional requirements and ensure there
are complete interoperability requirements. I would then validate any dependencies and risks. Then
formulate an implementation and migration strategy identifies major work packages and the
transition architecture required. Finally, once agreement is reached with the board I will create
project charters and re-factor any changes needed from the board discussion into the architecture.

Answer

I would examine the architecture work today ensuring it is complete and accurate and addressing
any gaps. I would look at functional and integration requirements. I would then ensure all
dependencies are understood and documented. I would then create the necessary artefacts
including major work packages and transition architectures and the project charters for the
recommended projects for presentation to the board.

Answer

I would assess the architecture work today, create, and priorities projects to transition Widget Inc
from the current architecture to target architecture. This will include a business value for each
project, the resources required and the intended timing. I would then validate the prioritizations
with the board particularly looking at cost benefits and risks. Lastly, I would generate the
Architecture Implementation Roadmap and document lessons learned.

Answer

I would assess the requirements of the organization particularly those requirements describing the
functions required and information flows within the architecture. I would then look to produce
artifacts that describe the recommended projects, the risk, issues and dependencies. This would also
include transition architects to move us from current architecture to the recommended target
architectures. I would present my recommendations to the board for agreement. Once this is done, I
would update the architectures reflecting any changes resulting from the board discussion.

Question 2

Scenario
Please read this scenario prior to answering the question
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?

Accepted Answer

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.

Answer

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.

Answer

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.

Answer

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.

Question 3

Scenario
Please read this scenario prior to answering the question
You have been assigned the role of Chief Enterprise Architect within a leading outsourcing services
company. The company has over 15,000 outsourcing professionals and works on some of the world's
largest outsourcing projects. Outsourcing services include business processes, infrastructure, and
service management. The company also provides business consulting services. Roughly half of its
turnover comes from the private sector and half from the public sector.
With numerous service areas and a large number of diverse engagements in progress at any given
time, overall engagement management within the company has become challenging. The company
has recently had a number of high profile projects that have overrun on budget and under delivered,
thereby damaging its reputation.
The company has an established an Enterprise Architecture program based on TOGAF 9, sponsored
jointly by the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Information Officer. An Architecture Board has been
formed comprised of IT staff executives and executives from the major service areas and consulting
practice.
The Enterprise Architecture (EA) team has been working with the Strategic Planning team to create a
strategic enterprise architecture to address these issues. The EA team has defined a framework and
held workshops with key stakeholders to define a set of architecture principles to govern the
architecture work. They have completed an Architecture Vision at a strategic level and laid out
Architecture Definitions for the four domains. They have set out an ambitious vision of the future of
the company over a five-year period. This will include three distinct transformations.
The CIO has made it clear that prior to the approval of the detailed implementation and Migration
plan, the EA team will need to assess the risks associated with the proposed architecture. He has
received concerns from some of the vice presidents across the company that the proposed
architecture may be too ambitious and they are not sure it can produce sufficient value to warrant
the attendant risks.
Refer to the Scenario
You have been asked to recommend an approach to satisfy these concerns.
Based on TOGAF, which of the following is the best answer?

Accepted Answer

The EA team should evaluate the organization’s readiness to undergo change. This will allow the
risks associated with the transformations to be identified and mitigated for. It will also identify
improvement actions to be worked into the Implementation and Migration Plan. The Business Value
Assessment technique should then be used to determine the business value and associated risks for
the transformation.

Answer

The EA team should apply an interoperability analysis to evaluate any potential issues across the
architecture. This should include the development of a matrix showing the interoperability
requirements. Once all of the concerns have been resolved, the EA team should finalize the
Architecture Roadmap and the Implementation and Migration Plan.

Answer

The EA team should bring together information about potential solutions from the appropriate
sources. Once the target architecture has been assembled, it should be analyzed using a state
evolution table to determine the Transition Architectures. A value realization process should then be
established to ensure that the concerns raised are addressed.

Answer

Before preparing the detailed Implementation and Migration plan, the EA team should review and
consolidate the gap analysis results from Phases B to D. This can be used to understand the
transformations that are required to achieve the proposed Target Architecture. The EA team should
then assess the readiness of the organization to undergo change. Once the architecture has been
assembled, it should be analyzed using a state evolution table to determine the Transition
Architectures.

Question 4

Scenario:
Please read this scenario prior to answering the question
Your role is consultant to the Lead Architect within a company that manufactures a variety of small
electromechanical devices. The company is organized as independent operational divisions.
The company has a mature Enterprise Architecture practice and uses TOGAF standard for the basis of
its architecture framework. In addition to the EA program, the company has a number of
management frameworks in use, including business planning, portfolio/project management, and
operations management. The EA program is sponsored by the CIO.
Each division has completed the Architecture Definition documentation required to tailor and
configure the environment to meet its own specific manufacturing requirements.
The enterprise architects have analyzed the key corporate change attributes and implementation
constraints. A consolidated gap analysis has been completed which has identified the gaps across the
Business, Data, Application, and Technology domains. Based on the results of the gap analysis, the
architects have reviewed the requirements, dependencies and interoperability requirements needed
to integrate the new ERP environment into the existing environment. The architects have completed
the Business Transformation Readiness Assessment started in Phase

Accepted Answer

You would apply the Business Value Assessment Technique to prioritize the implementation
projects and project increments. The assessment should focus on return on investment and
performance evaluation criteria that can be used to monitor the progress of the architecture
transformation. You would confirm the Transition Architecture phases using an Architecture
Definition Increments Table to list the projects. You would then document the lessons learned and
generate the final plan.

Answer

Based on all of these factors they have produced a risk assessment.
The implementation process is estimated to take four years. Because of the risks posed by the
complexity of the current environment, a phased approach is needed to implement the target
architectures. The implementation and Migration Plan v0 1, the draft Architecture Roadmap, and the
Capability Assessment deliverables are now complete.
Refer to the Scenario
You have been asked to recommend the next steps to prepare the final Implementation and
Migration Plan.
Based on TOGAF standard, which of the following is the best answer?

Answer

You would assess how the plan impacts the other frameworks in use in the organization. The plan
should be coordinated with the business planning, portfolio/project management and operations
management frameworks. You would then assign a business value to each project, considering
available resources and priorities for the projects. Finally, you would generate the Implementation
and Migration Plan.

Answer

You would conduct a series of Compliance Assessments to ensure that the implementation team is
implementing the architecture according to the contract. The Compliance Assessment should verify
that the implementation team is using the proper development methodology. It should include
deployment of monitoring tools and ensure that performance targets are being met. If they are not
met, then changes to performance requirements should be identified and updated in the
Implementation and Migration Plan.

Answer

You would place the strategic Architecture Definition and Transition Architectures under
configuration control as part of the ongoing architecture development cycle. This will ensure that the
architecture remains relevant and responsive to the needs of the enterprise. You would then produce
an Implementation Governance Model to manage the lessons learned prior to finalizing the plan.
You recommend that lessons learned be accepted by the Architecture Board as changes to the
architecture without review.

Question 5

Scenario: Armstrong Defense Industries
Please read this scenario prior to answering the question
Armstrong Defense Industries is the prime contractor for the Dreadnought Unmanned Aircraft
System program.
Over the course of this contract, the company has grown rapidly by acquisition and has inherited
numerous different procurement processes and related IT systems. Armstrong Defense is moving
aggressively to consolidate and reduce redundant procurement processes and systems. The CEO has
announced that the company will seek to leverage higher volume discounts and lower related IT
support costs by instituting a preferred supplier program.
To achieve this goal, Armstrong Defense needs to define Baseline and Target Architectures. These
architectures must address key stakeholders concerns such as:
1. What groups of people should be involved in procurement-related business processes?
2. What current applications do those groups use?
3. Which procurement-related business processes are supported by zero, one, or many existing
applications?
4. What are the overall lifetimes of the Request for Proposal and Purchase Order business objects?
5. What non-procurement applications will need to be integrated with any new procurement
applications?
6. What data will need to be shared?
At present, there are no particularly useful architectural assets related to this initiative. All assets
need to be acquired and customized or created from scratch. The company prefers to implement
existing package applications from systems vendors with little customization.
The architecture development project has just completed its Architecture Context iteration cycle and
is about to begin the Architecture Definition iteration cycle.
Armstrong Defense is using TOGAF for its internal Enterprise Architecture activities. It uses an
iterative approach for executing Architecture Development Method (ADM) projects.

Question 6

You are working as a consultant to the Chief Architect at an intelligent and security organization
responsible for securing government communications and information systems. These provide real-
time, highly secure communication of voice, video, and message data to remove locations around
the world. The agency has recently received information from intelligence sources that the current
encryption protocols may no longer be secure. In response, a program is underway to upgrade the
systems.
The agency has an established Enterprise Architecture (EA) capability based on the TOGAF standard.
The Executive Director of the agency is the sponsor of the
EA capability.
Since reliable, high-preformcane, and secure communications are essential to be preserving national
security, the Executive Director has placed stringent requirements for the architecture of the
upgraded systems. It must be able to provide assurance of the upgraded systems. It must be able to
provide assurance and verification of specific performance measures on the key services that are
most crucial for system operation. Focusing on these service-level details and specific measurements
will allow stricter requirements to be enforced in service contracts. It will also provide a high degree
of assurance that necessary performance is being delivered and that notifications will occur if any
critical service fails to perform as required.
A portion of the program budget has been allocated to conduct a review of the E

Accepted Answer

The scope of the review is to evaluate the processes, content, and governance of the EA capability
to ensure that the higher target performance and service levels required by the upgraded system can
be achieved.
The Chief Architect has noted that the core EA artifacts that have been in use are not able to describe
these new capabilities. The artifacts do not have explicit provisions for defining the in-depth
measurement requirements regarding specific services required for the system. She has learned that
certain services within the current system have service measurement implemenations that match
some of the new requirements, but they are only used in a few areas.
Recent EA efforts at another national agency have produced generalized high-performance
communication system models to realize similar requirements in a critical defense system involving
secure communications. It is possible that these models may be useful for the upgrade program.
[Note: You may need to refer to the Content Metamodel chapter, section 30.4 (located in Part IV) of
the reference text in order to answer this question.]
You have been asked to make recommendations for tailoring the Architecture Content Metamodel to
accommodate the requirements of the upgraded system.
Based on the TOGAF Standard, Version 9.2, which of the following is the best answer?

Answer

You recommend that the motivation and governance extensions are incorporated into the
Architecture Content Metamodel. Using these extensions will allow modeling the goals, objectives
and drivers for the architecture, linking them to servive levels and more detailed governance models.
This will also enable the ability to re-use existing profiles, customizing them for the various service
contracts involved.

Answer

You recommend that a Communications Engineering view is created using the infrastructure
consolidation extension from the Architecture Content Metamodel. This view will allow architects to
align the needed performance measurement communications across the system. This will support
the stringent performance measurements needed for the more detailed governance views required
for the upgraded system, making the interfaces to the communication and network layer of the
architecture highly visible at the application level.

Answer

You recommend all of the extensions be incorporated into the Architecture Content Metamodel.
The full Content Metamodel will enable the EA team to capture and categorize all the important
additional data neded to support the performance and measurement objectives linked to these
artifacts. Once the new repository content has been implemented, on-demand queries can be used
to generate a customized governance stakeholder view that isolated the artifacts and data needed to
assess measurement for any particular service. If this view is found to be inadequate for the
governance concerns, the servie models within those artifacts can be expanded.

Answer

You recommend that the services extension be incorporated into the Architecture Content
Metamodel. By using this extension, the service model is no longer constrained by what is expected
in typical business service defintions, allowing more flexibility for adding customized models to
support the more stringent measurement requirements. The services extension can also be used to
map terminology between the business services and the application components.

Question 7

Scenario:
Please read this scenario prior to answering the question
You are serving as the Chief Architect for a large, global commodities trading company which has
been growing rapidly through a series of acquisitions. Each business is performing well in its markets.
However, the lack of integration between headquarters and the business units has increasingly
caused problems in the handling of customer and financial information. The inability to share
information across businesses has resulted in lost opportunities to "leverage the synergies" that had
been intended when the businesses were acquired. At present, each business unit maintains its own
applications. Despite an earlier initiative to install a common application to manage customer,
products, supplier, and inventory information, each business unit has different ways of defining each
of these core elements and has customized the common application to the point where the ability to
exchange information is difficult, costly, and error-prone. As a result, the company has made the
decision to introduce a single enterprise-wide application to consolidate information from several
applications that exist across the lines of business. The application will be used by all business units
and accessed by suppliers through well defined interfaces.
Refer to the Scenario

toward meeting the objectives and conditions embodied in the principles.

Question 8

Scenario: AGEX Inc.
Please read this scenario prior to answering the question
AGEX is a large, global commodities trading company which has been growing rapidly through a
series of acquisitions.
Each new business is performing well in its markets. However, the lack of integration between
headquarters and the business units has increasingly caused problems in the handling of customer
and financial information. The inability to share information across businesses has resulted in lost
opportunities to "leverage the synergies" that had been intended when the businesses were
acquired. At present, each business unit maintains its own applications. Despite an earlier initiative
to install a common application to manage customer, products, supplier, and inventory information,
each business unit has different ways of defining each of these core elements and has customized the
common application to the point where the ability to exchange information is difficult, costly, and
error-prone.
As a result, AGEX has begun implementing a single Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system to
consolidate information from several applications that exist across the lines of business. The
Corporate Board is concerned that the new ERP system must be able to manage and safeguard
customer information in a manner that meets or exceeds the legal requirements of the countries in
which the company operates. This will be an increasingly important capability as the company
expands its online services offered to clients and trading partners.
The CIO has formed an Enterprise Architecture department, and one of the primary goals in its
charter is to coordinate efforts between the ERP implementation team and the business unit
personnel who will be involved in the migration process. The CIO has also formed a cross-functional
Architecture Review Board to oversee and govern the architecture.
After reviewing the available alternatives, and based on recommendations from the ERP vendor,
AGEX has selected TOGAF 9 as the basis for its Enterprise Architecture program.
The CIO has endorsed this choice with the full support of top management.
Refer to the AGEX Inc. Scenario

market needs with effective marketing campaigns and global product presence.
A Request for Architecture Work to address the goals of the reorganization has been approved. As
the architecture team commences its work, the CIO has expressed concerns about whether the firm
will be able to adapt to the proposed change and how to manage the associated risks.
Refer to the Scenario
You have been asked how to address the concerns of the CIO.
Based on the TOGAF standard, which of the following is the best answer?

Accepted Answer

In Phase A, the team should evaluate the organization’s readiness to undergo change. This will
identify the factors that will influence the reorganization. This should include a maturity scale that
will allow the team to gauge the urgency, readiness, and degree of difficulty to fix. These factors can
then be used to assess the initial risks associated with the proposed project.

Answer

In Phase A, the team should analyze their risk by completing an Implementation Factor
Assessment and Deduction Matrix to identify the particular risks associated with the implementation
and deployment. The matrix should include a list of factors to be considered, their descriptions, and
constraints that should be taken into account. These factors can then be used to assess the initial
risks associated with the proposed project.

Answer

In Phase B, the team should create a set of views that will enable them to identify the factors that
will influence the successful reorganization. There should then be an assessment of each factor on a
maturity scale that will allow the team to gauge the urgency, readiness, and degree of difficulty to
fix. These factors can then be used to assess the initial risks associated with the proposed project.

Answer

In Phase A, the team should conduct a Business Scenario to describe the business problem,
identify the stakeholders' and the resulting retirements. Once the requirements have been identified,
they can be assessed in terms of their risks. The risks should be evaluated in terms of how they could
be avoided, transferred, or mitigated. Any risks that cannot be resolved should be identified as
residual risks and their disposition should be decided by the Architecture Board.

Question 10

Scenario: Zephyr Enterprises
Please read this scenario prior to answering the question
Zephyr Enterprises specializes in the development of wind turbine blades for use in large-scale
commercial wind energy production systems. Zephyr has manufacturing facilities located in Palm
Springs, California, Omaha, Nebraska, and Winnipeg, Ontario. Each of these plants supplies a
different manufacturer that builds and sells complete systems. The turbine blades are custom
engineered to meet each manufacturers design specifications.
Until recently, most turbine blades were fabricated manually using molded fiber-reinforced plastics.
However, recent improvements in composite materials, coupled with enhanced automated methods
for precision application of materials during the molding process, have led to significant reduction in
weight, increase in strength, and greatly improved blade longevity. Zephyr has pioneered the
development of a proprietary automated process for continuous extrusion of the turbine blades.
Patents have been filed to protect the process, but certain trade secrets must be closely guarded.
Zephyr has a mature Enterprise Architecture organization that is supported by a cross-functional
Architecture Review Board. The Chief Information Officer and the Chief Operating Officer co-sponsor
the Enterprise Architecture program.
Zephyr has used TOGAF and its Architecture Development Method (ADM) to develop its automated
manufacturing processes and systems that are used to design, manufacture, and test the blade
assemblies. They have recently updated to TOGAF 9 and have adapted the Zephyr Enterprise
Architecture to closely follow the TOGAF 9 framework. All of Zephyrs IT architects have been trained
and certified on TOGAF 9.Recently, an architecture project was completed that defined a standard
approach for controlling the Automated Test System that is used at each plant to perform final
quality assurance tests on each completed blade assembly. The Manufacturing Architecture Board
approved the plan for immediate implementation at each plant.
An Architecture Contract was developed that detailed the work needed to implement and deploy the
new Automated Test System controller. The Chief Engineer, sponsor of the activity, has expressed
concern that a uniform process be employed at each site to ensure consistency.

Question 11

Scenario: Summer Seeds BV
Please read this scenario prior to answering the question
Summer Seeds BV is an international agricultural company exporting bulbs, flowers and seeds
worldwide. It is headquartered in Rotterdam in the Netherlands, and has sales and distribution
centers in over 60 countries worldwide. Several of these centers include administrative,
manufacturing, and research facilities. To achieve full integration of their research capabilities with
their development centers located in various climate zones, the company wants to develop strong
self directed teams in each location. It also wants to define new business models that are profitable
while reducing their impact on the environment. The management is deeply committed to ensuring
that the company is a world leader in socially responsible seed development with a business strategy
that focuses on profitability through environmentally friendly operating processes. Summer Seed's
international operations are subject to various legal and regulatory requirements. In areas such as
genetically modified seeds, governmental controls are strictly enforced and compliance is critical.
Recently a competitor was heavily fined for violating the regulations in a country where it was
developing pest-resistant seeds. The Governing Board is concerned, and as a result has approved the
expenditure of resources to establish an Enterprise Architecture program. They have requested
information about the status of projects that could impact regulatory compliance. They also want to
enable the corporate legal staff and auditors to analyze proposed architectures to ensure that they
are within the legal guidelines for a given location. In addition, the research organization should be
able to see that the architecture is appropriate for its needs. TOGAF 9 has been mandated as the
guiding framework for the development and evolution of the Enterprise Architecture practice.
Refer to the Summer Seeds BV Scenario
You have been appointed as the Lead Consultant. You have been asked to recommend an approach
that would enable the development of an architecture that addresses the needs of all these parties.
Based on TOGAF 9, which of the following is the best answer?

Accepted Answer

A stakeholder map should be developed that allows the architects to define groups of stakeholders
sharing common concerns. A set of views should then be defined that addresses the concerns for
each group-Architecture models can then be created for each view to address the stakeholders'
concerns.

Answer

Depending on the nature of the architecture, a set of models should be created that can be used
to ensure that the system will be compliant with the local regulations. Stakeholders should be able to
view the models to see that their concerns have been properly addressed.

Answer

Each architecture activity should be developed using a consistent modeling approach that is
uniform across all architecture projects. Each architecture should be defined based on this fixed set
of models so that all concerned parties can examine the models to ensure that their issues and
concerns have been addressed,

Answer

For those groups that have sufficient power and level of interest, a special report should be
created that summarizes the key features of the architecture with respect to the particular location.
Each of these reports should reflect the stakeholders' requirements.

Question 14

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 so as to keep inventory costs
low.
The TOGAF standard is followed for internal Enterprise Architecture activities. This project is using an
iterative approach for executing the Architecture Development Method (ADM).
At present, there are no 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 and Application Architectures. Key stakeholder concerns that should
be addressed by these architectures include:
1. What groups of people should be involved in the supply chain management-related business
processes?
2. What non-supply chain management applications will need to be integrated with any new supply
chain management applications?
3. What data will need to be shared?
