The Open Group TOGAF Enterprise Architecture Part 2 Sample Questions:

Question 1

Please read this scenario prior to answering the question
You are employed as an Enterprise Architect at a bank. The bank is well established and maintains a large networks of branches and ATMs, offering in-person services alongside some basic digital options. The bank has several divisions, including retail banking, commercial banking, investment banking, legal and compliance.
The bank has an established Enterprise Architecture (EA) practice and has adopted the TOGAF standard for use in its architecture work. The bank uses EAto organize their entire operating model, including people, processes, data, and technol ogy. The EA practice is federated, which allows some interoperability and information sharing between the divisions yet permits partially independent activity. You are working in the EA team within the retail banking division.
The bank faces competition from new online-only banks, known as challenger banks. These banks have no physical locations. They are able to offer competitive interest rates and lower fees due to reduced overheads.
A recent survey has shown that these challenger banks are popular with younger consumers, 62% of 18-24- year-olds prefer them over traditional banks.
To maintain its position, the bank has approved a project to compete with the challenger banks and plans to launch its own competing products. This includes investing heavily in mobile apps, Al-powered chatbots and online services.
The retail banking division has setup a new organization within it, to act as a virtual startup. You have been assigned to the EA project within the new organization. A high-level vision for a new line of competing products has been completed. Key focus areas for the business architecture included business capability mapping, value stream development, and customer journey mapping. Target architectures for business, information systems, and technology have been completed.
A greenfield implementation strategy has been chosen, so the team will focus on building something entirely new rather than modifying existing systems.
Refer to the scenario
You have been asked to draft the Architecture Roadmap.
Based on the TOGAF standard which of the following is the best answer?

A. Document the strategic rationale for the approach, explaining why a completely new implementation is preferred over revolutionary or evolutionary approaches. Select a quick win implementation approach focusing on high-value components first. Logically group changes into well-defined work packages that align perfectly with the target state. Document work packages business value. Define intermediate states between the baseline and target architectures. Consolidate work packages and transition architectures into a timeline showing progression from baseline to target architecture.
B. Generate a comprehensive plan that integrates all projects, activities, dependencies, and impacts.
Coordinate the Implementation and Migration Plan with the enterprise ' s other change activities.
Ensure key stakeholders understand the business value and cost of work packages and transition architectures. For each work package, document business value, risks, issues, assumptions, dependencies, resource requirements, and costs. Visually represent how each implementation project relates to the overall transformation. Complete the roadmap.
C. Draw up a matrix documenting the architecture domain, gaps between the baseline and target architectures, potential solutions to address each gap, and the dependencies between solutions. Identify necessary transition architectures that will be intermediate steps towards the Target Architecture.
Provide a project and portfolio breakdown of implementation, including allocation of work packages to project and portfolio, capabilities delivered by projects, milestones and timing. For each project, include the project charter, the included work packages, descriptions for the business value and risk.
D. Confirm the most appropriate implementation strategy, which is to build completely new digital banking systems. Identify factors that should be considered when planning the implementation. Identify any gaps across all architecture domains and for each gap, identify a proposed solution and classify it as new development, purchased solution, or based on an existing product. Select appropriate solutions that are competitive. Consider regulatory implications, which are especially important for banking. Ensure solutions address stakeholder requirements.

Question 2

Please read this scenario prior to answering the question
You are the Chief Enterprise Architect at a large food service company specializing in sales to trade and wholesale, for example, restaurants and other food retailers.
One of your company ' s competitors has launched a revolutionary product range and is running a very aggressive marketing campaign. Your company ' s resellers are successively announcing that they are not interested in your company ' s products and will sell your competitor ' s.
The CEO has stated there must be significant change to address the situation. He has made it clear that new markets must be found for the company ' s products, and that the business needs to pivot, and address the retail market as well as the existing wholesale market.
A consideration is the company ' s ability and willingness to change its business model, and if it is a temporary or permanent change. An additional risk factor is one of culture. The company has been used to a stable business with a reasonably well known and settled client base - all with its own local understandings and practices.
The CEO is the sponsor of the EA program within the company. You have been engaged with the sales, logistics, production, and marketing teams, enabling the architecture activity to start. An Architecture Vision, Architecture Principles, and Requirements have all been agreed. As you move forward to develop a possible Target Architecture you have identified that some of the key stakeholders ' preferences are incompatible. The incompatibilities are focused primarily on time-to-market, cost savings, and the need to bring out a fully featured product range, but there are additional factors.
Refer to the scenario
You have been asked how you will address the incompatibilities between key stakeholder preferences.
Based on the TOGAF standard which of the following is the best answer?

A. You would review the Stakeholder Map and ensure that you have addressed and represented theconcerns of all department heads. You will involve them in resolving the incompatibilities.TheCommunications Plan should include a report that summarizes the key features of the architecturewith and how incompatibilities were resolved to reflects the stakeholders ' requirements.You willcheck with each key stakeholder they are satisfied with how the incompatibilities have been resolved.
B. You would seek to understand value preferences and priorities of the stakeholders. You woulddevelop alternative Target Architectures, highlighting the gaps between current state and thealternatives. You would consider combining features from one or more alternatives in collaborationwith the stakeholders.
A formal stakeholder review should then be held to decide which alternative isfit for purpose and should be moved forward with. You will then secure the funding required.
C. You recommend that since the CEO has stated that the company must pivot, it is better tocompromise on a full product range rather than time-to-market. You would develop just enough of theTarget Architecture to demonstrate fitness of the proposed approach. You would limit the descriptionto just where there is a gap between the current baseline. You would seek approval by thestakeholders to move forward with developing the Target Architecture in detail.
D. You would use the Architecture Vision, Principles, and Requirements to define a set of criteria foralternatives and create a set of architecture views to illustrate the impact of the alternative TargetArchitectures. You would identify the impact on planned projects. You would understand the strengthsand weaknesses of the alternatives. You would conduct a formal stakeholder review to decide whichalternative to move forward with. You will determine the funding required.

Question 3

Please read this scenario prior to answering the question
You have been appointed as senior architect working for an autonomous driving technology development company. The mission of the company is to build an industry leading unified technology and software platform to support connected cars and autonomous driving.
The company uses the TOGAF Standard as the basis for its Enterprise Architecture (EA) framework.
Architecture development within the company follows the purpose-based EA Capability model as described in the TOGAF Series Guide: A Practitioners ' Approach to Developing Enterprise Architecture Following the TOGAF ADM.
An architecture to support strategy has been completed defining a long-range Target Architecture with a roadmap spanning five years. This has identified the need for a portfolio of projects over the next two years.
The portfolio includes development of travel assistance systems using swarm data from vehicles on the road.
The current phase of architecture development is focused on the Business Architecture which needs to support the core travel assistance services that the company plans to provide. The core services will manage and process the swarm data generated by vehicles, paving the way for autonomous driving in the future.
The presentation and access to different variations of data that the company plans to offer through its platform poses an architecture challenge. The application portfolio needs to interact securely with various third-party cloud services, and V2X (Vehicle-to-Everything) service providers in many countries to be able to manage the data at scale. The security of V2X is a key concern for the stakeholders. Regulators have stated that the user ' s privacy be always protected, for example, so that the drivers ' journey cannot be tracked or reconstructed by compiling data sent or received by the car.
Refer to the scenario
You have been asked to describe the risk and security considerations you would include in the current phase of the architecture development?
Based on the TOGAF standard which of the following is the best answer?

A. You will create a security domain model so that assets with the same level can be managed under one security policy. Since data is being shared across partners, you will establish a security federation to include them. This would include contractual arrangements, and a definition of the responsibility areas for the data exchanged, as well as security implications. You would undertake a risk assessment determining risks relevant to specific data assets.
B. You will focus on the relationship with the third parties required for the travel assistance systems and define a trust framework. This will describe the relationship with each party. Digital certificates are a key part of the framework and will be used to create trust between parties. You will monitor legal and regulatory changes across all the countries to keep the trust framework in compliance.
C. You will perform a qualitative risk assessment for the data assets exchanged with partners. This will deliver a set of priorities, high to medium to low, based on identified threats, the likelihood of occurrence, and the impact if it did occur. Using the priorities, you would then develop a Business Risk Model which will detail the risk strategy including classifications to determine what mitigation is enough.
D. You will focus on data quality as it is a key factor in risk management. You will identify the datasets that need to be safeguarded. For each dataset, you will assign ownership and responsibility for the quality of data needs. A security classification will be defined and applied to each dataset. The dataset owner will then be able to authorize processes that are trusted for a certain activity on the dataset under certain circumstances.

Question 4

You are working as an Enterprise Architect within an Enterprise Architecture (EA) team at a large government agency with multiple divisions. The agency has a well-established EA practice and follows the TOGAF standard as its method for architecture development. The government has mandated that the agency prepare for an " AI-first " world.
The agency wants to determine the impact and role of AI in its future services. The CIO has approved a Request for Architecture Work to explore the use of AI in services. Some leaders are concerned about reliance on AI, security, and employees' need to acquire new skills.
The EA team leader seeks suggestions on managing the risks associated with a new architecture for the AI- first project. Based on the TOGAF standard, which of the following is the best answer?

A. Create an organization map to show the links between different agency parts. Hold a meeting to teach stakeholders to interpret the models. Manage risks as part of Security Architecture development.
B. Separate stakeholders into groups and categorize them. Develop models for each group and verify that their concerns are addressed in Phase G, Implementation Governance.
C. Identify key stakeholders and develop a Communication Plan that addresses their needs. Ensure the architecture addresses risk management and summarizes features of the architecture.
D. Conduct an analysis of stakeholders, documenting their concerns and recording them in the Architecture Vision document. Risks should be recorded in the Architecture Requirements Specification and reviewed regularly.

Question 5

You are working as an Enterprise Architect within an Enterprise Architecture (EA) team at a multinational energy company. The company is committed to becoming a net-zero emissions energy business by 2050. To achieve this, the company is focusing on shifting to renewable energy production and adopting eco-friendly practices.
The EA team, which reports to the Chief Technical Officer (CTO), has been tasked with overseeing the transformation to make the company more effective through acquisitions. The company plans to fully integrate these acquisitions, including merging operations and systems.
To address the integration challenges, the EA team leader wants to know how to manage risks and ensure that the company succeeds with the proposed changes. Based on the TOGAF Standard, which of the following is the best answer?

A. The EA team should develop Business Architecture views that demonstrate how stakeholder concerns are addressed and assess each factor for readiness, urgency, and degree of difficulty.
B. The EA team should evaluate the company's readiness for change by identifying factors that will impact the transformation. These factors will be used to determine initial risks associated with the initiative.
C. The EA team should document the risks associated with the transformation in an Implementation Factor Catalog to inform decisions during implementation and deployment.
D. The EA team should create a Business Scenario to fully describe the business problem that is being addressed by the transformation. Once requirements are identified, they should be evaluated in terms of risks. Any residual risks should be escalated to the Architecture Board.
