Please read this scenario prior to answering the question
You are working as Chief Enterprise Architect at a large Internet company. The company has many
divisions, ranging from cloud to logistics. The company has grown rapidly, expanding from initially
selling physical books and media to a range of services including an online marketplace, live-
streaming. eBooks. and cloud services.
Overall management of the numerous divisions has become challenging. Recent high-profile projects
have overrun on budget and under delivered, damaging the company's reputation, and adversely
impacting its share price. There is a widely held view within the executive management that the
organization structure has played a major role in these project failures.
The company has an established Enterprise Architecture program based on the TOGAF standard,
sponsored jointly by the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Chief Information Officer (CIO). The CEO
has decided that the company needs to reorganize its divisions around artificial intelligence and
machine learning with a focus on automation. The CEO has worked with the Enterprise Architects to
create a strategic architecture for the reorganization, including an Architecture Vision, together with
definitions for the four domain architectures. This sets out an ambitious vision of the future of the
company over a three-year period. This includes a set of work packages and includes three distinct
transformations.
The CIO has made it clear that prior to the approval of the detailed Implementation and Migration
plan, the EAteam will need to assess the risks associated with the proposed architecture. He has
received concerns from key stakeholders across the company that the proposed reorganization may
be too ambitious and there is doubt whether it can produce sufficient value to warrant the risks.
Refer to the scenario
You have been asked to recommend an approach to satisfy these concerns. Based on the TOGAF
Standard, which of the following is the best answer?

You are working as an Enterprise Architect at a large supermarket. The company runs many retail
stores, as well as an online grocery shop. Many of the stores used to remain open 24/7, but the
number has decreased in recent years. Instead, they now focus on fulfilling online orders during
the night.
The company has a mature Enterprise Architecture (EA) practice and uses the TOGAF standard
for its architecture development method. The EA practice is involved in all aspects of the
business, with oversight provided by an Architecture Board with representatives from different
parts of the business. The EA program is sponsored by the Chief Information Officer (CIO).
Each store uses a standard method to track sales and inventory. This involves sending accurate
timely sales data to a central Al-based inventory management system that can predict demand,
adjust stock levels and automate reordering. The central inventory management system is housed
at the company's central data center.
The company has bought a major rival. The Chief Executive Officer believes that a merger will
enable growth through combined offerings and cost savings. The decision has been taken to fully
integrate the two organizations, including merging retail operations and systems. This means that
duplicated systems will be replaced with one standard retail management system. Also, the
company will reduce the number of applications that are used. The CIO expects significant
savings will be achieved by implementing these changes across the newly merged company.
One improvement that the rival has successfully implemented is the use of hand-held devices
within stores, for both customers and staff. This has increased both customer and staff employee
satisfaction due to the time savings this has brought. The CIO has given the go-ahead to roll out
the devices in all stores but has stated that training on how to use the hand-held devices should
be brief because there are a lot of employees, many of whom are part-time.
The Request for Architecture Work to oversee the merger has been approved. The project has
been scoped and you have been assigned to work on it. Your role includes managing the
architecture for the retail stores.
Refer to the scenario
You have been asked to confirm the most relevant architecture principles for the transformation.
Based on the TOGAF Standard, which of the following is the best answer?
[Note: The sequence of the principles listed in each answer does not matter. You should assume
the company follows the set of principles that are provided in the TOGAF Standard, ADM
Techniques, Architecture Principles chapter. You may need to refer to section 2.6 located in ADM
Techniques within the reference text to answer this question.]

Your role is that of a consultant to the Lead Enterprise Architect in a multinational automotive
manufacturer.
The company has a corporate strategy that focuses on electrification of its portfolio, and it has
invested
heavily in a new shared car platform to use across all its brands. The company has four
manufacturing
facilities, one in North America, two in Europe, and one in Asia.
A challenge that the company is facing is to scale up the number of vehicles coming off the
production line to meet customer demand, while maintaining quality. There are significant supply
chain shortages for electronic components, which are impacting production. In response to this the
company has taken on new suppliers and has also taken design and production of the battery pack
in-house.
The company has a mature Enterprise Architecture practice. The TOGAF standard is used for
developing
the process and systems used to design, manufacture, and test the battery pack. The Chief
Information
Officer and the Chief Operating Officer co-sponsor the Enterprise Architecture program.
As part of putting the new battery pack into production, adjustments to the assembly processes need
to be made. A pilot project has been completed at a single location. The Chief Engineer, sponsor of
the activity, and the Architecture Board have approved the plan for implementation and migration at
each plant.
Draft Architecture Contracts have been developed that detail the work needed to implement and
deploy the new processes for each location. The company mixes internal teams with a few third-
party contractors at the locations. The Chief Engineer has expressed concern that the deployment
will not be consistent and of acceptable quality.

Scenario
You are working as an Enterprise Architect within an Enterprise Architecture (EA) team at a large
government agency. The agency has multiple divisions.
The agency has a well-established EA practice and follows the TOGAF standard as its method for
architecture development. Along with the EA program, the agency also uses various management
frameworks, including business planning, project/portfolio management, and operations
management. The EA program is sponsored by the Chief Information Officer (CIO), who has actively
promoted architecting with agility within the EA department as her preferred approach for projects.
The government has mandated that the agency prepare themselves for an Artificial Intelligence (AI)-
first world, which they have called their “AI-first” plan. As a result, the agency is looking to determine
the impact and role that AI will play moving forward. The CIO has approved a Request for
Architecture Work to look at how AI can be used for services across the agency. She has noted that
digital platforms will be a priority for investment in order to scale the AI applications planned. Using
AI to automate tasks and make things run smoother is seen as a big advantage. Process automation
and improved efficiency from manual, repetitive activities have been identified as the key benefits of
applying generative AI to their agency’s business. This will include back-office automation, for
example, for help center agents who receive hundreds of email inquiries. This should also improve
services for citizens by making them more efficient and personalized, tailored to each individual’s
needs.
Many of the agency leaders are worried about relying too much on AI. Some leaders think their
employees will need to learn new skills. Some employees are worried they might lose their jobs to
AI. Other leaders worry about security and cyber resilience in the digital platforms needed for AI to
be successful.
The leader of the Enterprise Architecture team has asked for your suggestions on how to address the
concerns, and how to manage the risks of a new architecture for the AI-first project.

Your role is that of a senior architect, reporting to the Chief Enterprise Architect, at a medium-sized
company with 400 employees. The nature of the business is such that the data and the information
stored on the company systems is their major asset and is highly confidential.
The company employees travel extensively for work and must communicate over public
infrastructure using message encryption, VPNs, and other standard safeguards. The company has
invested in cybersecurity awareness training for all its staff. However, it is recognized that even with
good education as well as system security, there is a dependency on third-parly suppliers of
infrastructure and software.
The company uses the TOGAF standard as the method and guiding framework for its Enterprise
Architecture (EA) practice. The CTO is the sponsor of the activity.
The Chief Security Officer (CSO) has noted an increase in ransomware (malicious software used in
ransom demands) attacks on companies with a similar profile. The CSO recognizes that no matter
how much is spent on education, and support, it is likely just a matter of time before the company
suffers a significant attack that could completely lock them out of their information assets.
A risk assessment has been done and the company has sought cyber insurance that includes
ransomware coverage. The quotation for this insurance is hugely expensive. The CTO has recently
read a survey that stated that one in four organizations paying ransoms were still unable to recover
their data, while nearly as many were able to recover the data without paying a ransom. The CTO has
concluded that taking out cyber insurance in case they need to pay a ransom is not an option.
