QUESTION: 57 
Scenario 
Please read this scenario prior to answering the question 
Your role is that of the Lead Architect working for a government agency responsible 
for immigration, customs, and border control. The agency was formed by 
consolidating several smaller government agencies. The agency has established an 
Enterprise Architecture practice based on TOGAF 9. The CIO is the executive 
sponsor and has appointed an EA steering team to oversee the practice. 
There has been a considerable increase in security requirements and immigration 
service requests in recent years, which have expanded the scope and size of the 
operations of the agency. As a result, the existing Information Technology 
architecture no longer meets the required service levels. A significant Enterprise 
Architecture (EA) initiative is in progress with the goal to improve customer 
responsiveness and satisfaction, and improve the overall operational efficiency of 
the agency. 
The current EA staff members were internal appointments based on a request from 
the EA steering team to supply a number of suitable individuals for the EA effort. 
Collectively, they possess a broad range of IT and business analysis skills. However,  
the CIO has expressed concern about the diverse range of experience within the 
team. There is concern that the EA staff may be lacking in some of the critical skills 
that are required to properly conduct EA activities. It had been assumed that any 
EA-related skill gaps would be overcome by on-the-job mentoring from the senior 
members of the EA staff. Each architect was expected to attend a TOGAF training 
course and participate in other skill development activities. 
A recent review of the EA program revealed that many EA staff members, despite  
attending multi- day training courses, were not proficient in analyzing or creating 
the models and artifacts required for their assigned architecture projects.  
Stakeholders have observed errors and inconsistencies in artifacts and deliverables 
being submitted for review. 
Refer to the Scenario 
The CIO has asked you to recommend a professional development plan for the EA 
staff in order to address the findings raised in the recent review. 
73
Based on TOGAF, which of the following is the best answer? 
 
 
A. You recommend that a comprehensive evaluation of key team leader skills be 
made using the TOGAF Architecture Skills Framework. Based on the evaluations, 
you will recommend the necessary staff changes. This will ensure that the team  
leaders have the necessary skills and experience for the architecture tasks within the  
agency. The role and skill categories defined in the TOGAF Architecture Skills 
Framework should then be shared with the department leaders so that in the future, 
they can make more informed choices when providing internal candidates for the  
EA team. 
B. You recommend that an architecture maturity assessment should be conducted. 
This will identify the practices on which the agency should focus to see the greatest 
improvement and ensure that the basic enterprise architecture process is  
documented. As part of the assessment, all of the team leaders should be interviewed 
and their qualifications assessed. In order to rectify areas of low proficiency, they  
are expected to attend additional EA training courses. When the team leaders have  
achieved the desired levels of proficiency, they should apply  a similar  process 
for their  staff members. 
C. You recommend that you work with the EA steering team to adapt the TOGAF 
Architecture Skills Framework for use within the architecture practice at the agency. 
The categories of architecture roles, the required skills for each role and the desired 
level of proficiency for each role and skill will be defined  by this framework. Each 
team member, or prospective  team member, can then be evaluated for suitability 
against these roles and skills. Staffing and training adjustments can then be made as 
necessary to close gaps that are discovered. 
D. You recommend that to address the issues identified in the review, the 
experienced team leaders should mentor the junior team members. At the same time  
additional training should be provided. Since it is now known that some models are 
improperly defined and may have caused cascading errors in other parts of the 
architecture, you recommend an iteration of the Migration Planning phase occur, so 
as to develop a coordinated transition to a new baseline using the last known good 
architecture. Once the artifacts are consistent and correct, these can be applied to 
this new baseline. 
 
 
Answer: C 
 
 
QUESTION: 58 
Scenario 
Please read this scenario prior to answering the question 
You are working as a consultant to the Chief Architect at a government agency  
responsible for securing all government communications and information systems. 
The agency has recently received funding for a program that will upgrade the 
reliability and performance of its secure communication systems which provide real-
74
time, highly secure communication of voice, video, and message data to remote  
locations around the world. 
The agency has an established enterprise architecture (EA)  capability based on  
TOGAF 9. The 
Executive Director of the agency is the sponsor of the EA capability. 
Since reliable, high-performance, and secure communications are essential to 
preserving national security, the Executive Director has placed more stringent 
requirements for the architecture for the upgraded system. 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 more stringent 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 
A. 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 Architecture has noted that the core EA artifacts that have been used since 
TOGAF 9 was introduced are not adequate 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 s ervice measurement 
implementations 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. Refer to the Scenario 
You have been asked to make recommendations for tailoring the Architecture 
Content Metamodel to accommodate the requirements of the upgraded system. 
Based on TOGAF, which of the following is the best answer? 
 
 
A. Since some artifacts will now require specific measurements and additional data 
will be needed to support the performance  objectives linked to these  
measurements,  you recommend  that the motivation and governance extensions of  
the TOGAF 9 Content Metamodel are used. Using these extensions will allow 
modeling the goals, objectives and drivers for the architecture, linking them to 
service 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. 
B. You recommend all of the TOGAF 9 Content Metamodel 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 needed to support the performance  and measurement  objectives linked to  
75
these artifacts.  Once  the  new repository content has been implemented, on-
demand queries can be used to generate a customized governance stakeholder view  
that isolates 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 
service models within those artifacts can be expanded. 
C. Since this case requires extensions of the modeling and data details of the service,  
this is best done by using the services extension of the TOGAF 9 Content 
Metamodel. By using this extension, the service model is no longer constrained by 
what is expected in typical business service definitions, 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. 
D. To support the type of stringent performance  measurements needed  for the  
more detailed governance views required for the upgraded system, the interfaces to 
the communication and network layer of the architecture must be highly visible at 
the application level. To accommodate the proper development of this, a 
Communications Engineering view should be created from the infrastructure 
extension models of the TOGAF Content Metamodel. This view will allow 
architects to align the required performance measurement communications across 
the system.

QUESTION: 59 
Scenario 
Please read this scenario prior to answering the question 
You are serving as the Lead Architect for an insurance company, which has been 
formed through the merger of three previously independent companies. The 
company now consists of three divisions with the same names and division 
headquarters as their predecessors. 
The lack of integration between the three divisions has increasingly caused problems 
in the handling of customer  and financial  information.  The inability to share  
information  has resulted in  lost opportunities to leverage the synergies that should 
have been possible as a result of the merger. At present,  each division maintains  
its own applications.  Despite an  earlier  initiative to install  a common 
application to manage customer, products, and claims information, each division 
has different ways of defining 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 common web portal, 
contact center software  suite, and  document  management  system.  Also the  
company  has selected a single enterprise-wide customer relationship management  
(CRM) application to consolidate information from several applications that exist 
76
across the divisions. The application will be used by each of the divisions and 
accessed by third party partners through well defined interfaces. 
The Corporate Board is concerned that the new application must be able to manage  
and safeguard confidential customer information in a secure 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 in cooperation with its partners. 
The CIO has formed an Enterprise Architecture department, and one of the primary 
goals in its charter is to coordinate efforts between the implementation team and the 
migration teams in each division. The CIO has also formed a cross-functional 
Architecture Board to oversee and govern the architecture. The company has an 
existing team of security architects. 
TOGAF 9 has been selected as the core framework for use for the Enterprise  
Architecture program. The CIO has endorsed this choice with the full support of top 
management. 
Refer to the Scenario 
As part of the process for establishing the Enterprise Architecture department, you 
are developing a set of architecture principles to guide the activities. 
You need to recommend the best approach for this work. Based on TOGAF, which 
of the following is the best answer? 
 
 
A. You would review the mission statements for the company and its divisions, 
together with the corporate business goals and business drivers. Based on that 
review, you would work closely with the key stakeholders and the Architecture  
Board to define the architecture principles. You would ensure that they actively 
promote the alignment of IT with the corporate business strategies. You would then 
hold review meetings with the relevant stakeholders, including senior management, 
ensuring their support. 
B. You would gather information from credible industry sources in the insurance 
business. Based on that information, you would assess current trends and apply them 
to defining a set of principles that embody best practices. You would select 
architecture principles that do not conflict with each other and that should be stable. 
You would ensure that all the principles are realistic and avoid including principles 
that are too obvious. 
C. You would analyze the mission statements for the company and each of its  
divisions, together with the corporate business goals. Based on that analysis, you 
would define a set of architecture principles and review them with the CIO. When 
developing the principles you would ensure that they  actively promote the  
alignment  of IT with the business  strategies  and initiatives of the company. 
You would then seek the endorsement of the CIO and senior management. 
D. You would define a set of principles that support the preferred best practices 
embodied in the Enterprise Architecture  department  charter. You would publish  
the principles  on the  corporate intranet  to ensure  widespread  acceptance and   
compliance.  You would then schedule  regular periodic  Compliance  
Assessments  with  each  of  the  divisions  to  check  that  they  have  made  
77
satisfactory progress toward meeting the objectives and conditions embodied in the 
principles.

QUESTION: 60 
Scenario 
Please read this scenario prior to answering the question 
You have been assigned the role of Lead Enterprise Architect for a firm that 
produces components and replacement parts for the automobile, electronics, and 
telecommunications industries. The firm h as been established for over 70 years. 
North America has been the primary market for its products, with just 20% of its 
output being exported to Europe. The firm is planning to expand its exports to 
Europe and also to establish sales in South America and the Asia Pacific region. 
The firm is organized into business units that each focus on the different industry 
sectors. Each business unit has acquired other producers to expand its manufacturing 
capacity. This has resulted in a complex environment with a high diversity of 
business and manufacturing systems. 
The Enterprise Architecture (EA) program within the firm has been functioning for 
several years. 
It has made significant  progress in consolidating the technology portfolio and 
establishing key standards. The CIO and the COO are joint sponsors of the EA 
program. The EA program is mature, with an active Architecture Board and a well-
defined architecture process and standard content templates based on the TOGAF 9 
Architecture Content Framework. The EA process framework is well coordinated 
with the PMO, Systems Development, and Operations functions. 
The firm has completed a strategic plan to reorganize its Sales & Marketing  
organization according to the target geographic markets. One of the goals of this  
reorganization is to improve the ability of Marketing to collect more meaningful 
market analytics that will enable each sector to better address 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 TOGAF, 
which of the following is the best answer? 
 
 
A. In Phase B, the team should create a set of views that will enable them to identify 
the factors that will influence the reorganization. There should then be an 
assessment of each factor on a maturity scale that will allow the team to gauge the 
78
urgency, readiness, and degree of difficulty to fix. These factors can then be used to 
assess the initial risks associated with the proposed project. 
B. 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 used to assess the initial risks associated 
with the proposed project. 
C. In Phase A, the team should use the Business Transformation Readiness 
Assessment technique to identify  the  factors  that will influence  the  
reorganization. The assessment  should include determining the readiness rating 
for each factor based on a maturity scale that will allow the team to gauge the 
urgency, readiness, and degree of difficulty to fix. These factors can then used to 
assess the initial risks associated with the proposed project. 
D. In Phase A, the team should conduct a Business Scenario to identify the 
stakeholders1 concerns and the resulting requirements. 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: 61 
Scenario 
Please read this scenario prior to answering the question 
You are serving as the Lead Architect for an enterprise architecture project team 
within a leading multinational  pharmaceutical and medical  devices  manufacturer.   
Its brands include numerous household names for medications and first aid 
supplies. 
The company has a long history of innovating new treatments for many common 
illnesses and diseases. Prior to launching a new treatment, the company has to 
demonstrate its effectiveness and safety in a set of clinical trials that satisfy the 
regulatory requirements of the countries in the target markets. All clinical trials are  
undertaken by its research laboratories, which employ over 10,000 people at 
separate facilities in the United Kingdom, United States, Sweden, France, Canada,  
India, China and Japan. In addition to internal research and development activities 
the company is also involved in  publicly funded collaborative research projects,  
with other industrial and academic partners. 
The Enterprise Architecture  group within the company  has been engaged in  
an architecture development project to create a secure networked collaboration  
system that will allow researchers at its product development laboratories worldwide  
to share information about their clinical trials. This system will also connect with 
external partners. 
79
The Enterprise Architecture group is a mature organization.  They use the TOGAF 9 
ADM with extensions required to support current good manufacturing practices and 
good laboratory practices in their target markets. Due to the highly sensitive nature 
of the information that is managed, special care was taken to ensure that each  
architecture domain included an examination of the security and privacy issues that  
are relevant. 
The Executive Vice President for Clinical Research is the sponsor of the Enterprise 
Architecture activity. She has stated that the changes to the enterprise architecture 
for the new system will need to be rolled out in stages on a regional basis that 
minimizes disruptions to ongoing clinical trials. Refer to the Scenario 
You have been asked to recommend the approach to identify the work  packages   
that will be included in the Transition Architecture(s). 
Based on TOGAF, which of the following is the best answer? 
 
 
A. Determine the set of  Solution Building Blocks required  by identifying which 
Solution Building Blocks need to be developed and which need to  be procured. 
Eliminate any duplicate building blocks. Group the remaining Solution Building 
Blocks together to create the work packages using a CRUD matrix. Rank the work  
packages in terms of cost and select the most cost-effective options for inclusion in a 
series of Transition Architectures. Schedule the roll out of the work packages to be 
sequential across the geographic regions. 
B. Create an Implementation Factor Assessment and Deduction Matrix and a 
Consolidated Gaps, Solutions and Dependencies Matrix. For each gap, identify a 
proposed solution and classify it as new development, purchased solution, or based 
on an existing product. Group similar solutions together to form work packages. 
Identify dependencies between work packages factoring in the clinical trial 
schedules. Regroup the packages into a set of Capability Increments scheduled into 
a series of Transition Architectures. 
C. Group the Solution Building Blocks from a Consolidated Gaps, Solutions and 
Dependencies Matrix into a set of work packages. Using the matrix as a planning 
tool, regroup the work packages to account for dependencies. Sequence the work 
packages into the Capability Increments needed to achieve the  Target  
Architecture. Schedule the rollout one region at a time.  Document  the  
progression of the enterprise architecture using a state evolution table. 
D. Use a Consolidated Gaps, Solutions and Dependencies Matrix as a planning tool. 
For each gap classify whether the solution is either a new  envelopment, purchased 
solution, or based on an existing product. Group the similar solutions together to 
define the work packages. Regroup the work packages into a set of Capability 
Increments to transition to the Target Architecture taking into account the schedule 
for clinical trials.
