You have been assigned the role of Chief Enterprise Architect within a leading professional services
company that specializes in providing outsourcing services.
The company has over 20,000 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 hal 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 and adversely impacting its share price.
The company has established an Enterprise Architecture program based on the TOGAF standard,
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
Version at a strategic level and laid our 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 risks.

increase revenue for the chain. He has also stated that he expects improved financial results by the
end of the current fiscal year.
The changes will help provide the chain with improved products, and more efficient operations. The
stores will also act as delivery and return locations for a large online retailer which will further
increase the number of potential customers. The addition of a corporate-wide data warehouse will
provide analytics that will enable the marketing group to improve its ability to target advertising and
new products to specific regions.
The chain has a mature Enterprise Architecture practice based in its headquarters and uses the
TOGAF standard as the method and guiding framework. The CIO is the sponsor of the activity.
The Chief Architect engaged the services of a leading 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

You are serving as an Enterprise Architect at a large aerospace company. It designs, manufactures
and sells civil and military aviation products worldwide and manufactures in multiple countries both
inside and outside of the European Union. The company has grown rapidly by acquisition and has
inherited numerous different procurement processes and related IT systems.
Recently, several procurement processes, within the civil aviation business, have had problems
related to the timing of purchases, which has led to excess inventory. The Vice President in change of
Supply Chain Management has made the decision to consolidate and reduce redundant procurement
processes and systems. He has committed to the CEO that the business will move to a "Just-in-time"
procurement system so as to keep inventory costs low.
The TOGAF standard is used for internal Enterprise Architecture activities. At presents, there are no
architectural assets in the Architecture Repository related to this initiative. All assets will need to be
acquired, customized, or created from scratch. 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 procurement processes or systems.
This project is using an iterative approach for executing the Architecture Development Method
(ADM). The architecture development project has completed the
Architecure Vision Phase and has started a number of iteration cycles to develop the Architecture. As
a packeged application is being considered, the next iteration will include both the Business and
Application Architectures.
Stakeholder concerns that should be addressed by these architectures include:
1. What groups of people should be involved in procurement-related business processes?
2. What applications will these groups use once the architecture development is complete?
3. What non-procurement applications will need to be integrated with the new procurement
applications?
4. What are the dependencies between the non-procurement and the new procurement
applications?
[Note: You may need to refer to the Architectural Artifacts chapter, section 31.6 (located in Part IV)
within the reference text in order to answer this question.]
You have been asked to identify the most appropriate catalogs, matrices, and diagrams to support
the next iteration of Architecture development.

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.

You are serving as the Lead Architect for an Enterprise Architecture project team within a
multinational oil and gas corporation. It is organized into two major business groupings:
Upstream operations which include exploration for crude oil and natural gas and operating the
✑
infrastructure necessary to deliver oil and gas to the market
Downstream operations which include the manufacturing, distribution and marketing activities
✑
for oil products and chemicals. Safety is a priority for the company, with the aim to ensure it causes
zero harm to people and the environment. The company has to satisfy the regulatory requirements
of each of the countries it operates in.
The downstream business generates a third of the company's profits worldwide and includes more
than 30,000 petrol stations and various oil refineries. In some countries it also includes oil refining, a
retail petrol station network, lubricans manufacture and marketing, industrial fuel and lubricans
sales. The practice for the downstream business has been to operate locally, managed by local
"operating companies".
The Governing Board is concerned about the risk posed by operating in this complex global
environment with a large part of the downstrean business represented by local operating companies.
As a result, the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) has appoimted a Chief Compliance Officer (CCO) to be
responsible for overseeing and managing compliance issues to the corporation. The CCO reports
directly to the CEO.
The CCO has approved the expenditure of resources to establish an Enterprise Architecture program,
and has mandated the use of the TOGAF standard as the framework. He has requested to be

Your role is that of the Lead Enterprise Architect at a multinational automotive corporation. The
company is headquartered in Germany, and manufactures cars, trucks and buses. It has
manufacturing plants across North America, South America, Europe and Asi
a. Each of these plants has been operating its own planning and production scheduling systems, as
well as custom developed applications that drive the automated production equipment at each
plant.
The company has an ongoing initiative to improve the efficiency of all of its production operations,
and in particular to reduce its carbon footprint. During a recent exercise held for internal quality
improvement, it was determined that a significant reduction in energy usage could be achieved by
replacing the current planning and scheduling systems with a common Enterprise Resource Planning
(ERP) system located in one central data center. This central system would provide support to each of
the plants replacing the functionality in the existing systems. It would also eliminate the need for full
data centers at each of the plant facilities.
The Enterprise Architecture department has been operating for several years and has mature, well-
developed architecture governance and development processes that are based on the TOGAF
standard. At a recent meeting, the Architecture Board approved a Request for Architecture Work
sponsored by the global
CIO. The request covered the initial architectural investigations and the development of a
comprehensive architecture to plan the transformation.
You have been asked to select the most appropriate recommendation to ensure that the team
evaluated different approaches to the problem and clarifies the requirements for the architecture.

Your role is that of a consultant to the Lead Enterprise Architect in a company that develops wind
turbines for use in wind farms. The company has three manufacturing facilities, one in North
America, one in Asia, and one in Europe. Each of these facilities supplies the power industry in its
region.
The company recognizes that the long-term technical potential of wind energy can address the
current global dependency on carbon fuels, in order to do so this will require wind turbines to be
installed over the large areas and in areas of higher wind resources. In particular offshore wind farms
can contribute substantially more energy than land stationed turbines.
The research arm of the company has pioneered the development of an offshore wind turbine
design, with an improved turbine blade and power system, that will produce up to 20% more energy.
This will allow the production of significantly more salable energy. This new design is ready to go into
production.
The company has a mature Enterprise Architecture practice supported by a cross-functional
Architecture Board and uses the TOGAF standard. The Chief
Information Officer and the Chief Operating Officer co-sponsor the Enterprise Architecture program.
As part of putting the new design into production, a pilot architecture project has defined an updated
standard approach for controlling the automated test systems used to perform final quality
assurance. The Chief Engineer, sponsor of the activity, and the Architecture Board have approved the
plan for immediate implementation at each plant.
Architecture Contracts have been developed that detail the work needed to implement and deploy
the new automated test system controller for each location. The
Chief Engineer has expressed concern that a uniform process be employed at each location to ensure
consistency and a low blade failure rate.
You have been asked to recommend the best approach to address the Chief Engineer's concern.
