Q: 1
Scenario:
Please read this scenario prior to answering the question
The ABC company started as an accounting and financial services company. It has expanded over the
years and is now a leading North American IT and Business Services provider.
With numerous practice areas and a multitude of diverse engagements underway at any given time,
overall engagement management has become challenging. The company does not want to risk its
outstanding reputation or its international certifications and CMM ratings. Senior partners must
become team players, working to support the broader needs of the company and its shareholders.
The Enterprise Architecture team has been working to create the company's Enterprise Architecture
framework to address these issues. The team has defined a preliminary framework and held
workshops with key stakeholders to define a set of 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.
An Architecture Review Board has been formed comprised of IT staff executives and executives from
the major practice areas.
The Chief Executive Officer and Chief Information Officer have co-sponsored the creation of the
Enterprise Architecture program. The Enterprise Architecture framework is based on TOGAF 9.
As the EA team prepare to formulate an Implementation plan, they have been asked by the CIO to
assess the risks associated with the proposed architecture. He has received concerns from senior
management that the proposed architecture may be too ambitious and they are not sure it can
produce sufficient value to warrant the attendant risks.
