Question 32

Please read this scenario prior to answering the question

You are employed as an Enterprise Architect, reporting to the Chief Enterprise Architect, at a technologycompany. The company uses the TOGAF standard as the method and guiding framework for its EnterpriseArchitecture (EA) practice.

The nature of the business is such that the data and the information stored on the company systems is thecompany's major asset and is highly confidential. The company employees travel a lot for work and need tocommunicate over public infrastructure. They use message encryption, secure internet connections usingVirtual Private Networks (VPNs), and other standard security measures. The company has providedcomputer security awareness training for all its staff. However, despite good education and system security,there is still a need to rely on third-party suppliers for infrastructure and software.

The Chief Security Officer (CSO) has noted an increase in ransomware (malicious software used in ransomdemands) attacks on companies with a similar profile. The CSO recognizes that no matter how much isspent on education, and support, the company could be a victim of a significant attack that could completelylock them out of their important data.

A risk assessment has been completed and the company has looked for cyber insurance that coversransomware. The price for this insurance is very high. The CTO recently saw a survey that said 1 out of 4businesses that paid ransoms could not get their data back, and almost the same number were able torecover the data without paying. The CTO has decided not to get cyber insurance to cover ransom payment.

The Chief Technology Officer (CTO) is the sponsor of the EA project. The practice uses an iterativeapproach for its architecture development. This has enabled the decision makers to gain valuable insightsinto the different aspects of the business.

Discussion

Answer:

Explanation:

The question asks:

“What steps would you take to strengthen the current architecture to improve data protection?”

This requires understanding how TOGAF handles:

Business continuity requirements

Gap analysis in existing architecture

Architecture change requests

Triggering a new ADM cycle

Governance via the Architecture Board

OptionCis the only answer that aligns correctly with TOGAF’s formalArchitecture Change Managementprocess (ADM Phase H) and how to progress from identifying gaps to initiating a new cycle.

✅Why Option C Is Correct

✔1. Starts with identifying business continuity requirements

TOGAF Phase A and Phase B require understanding business continuity and information security requirements as part of architecture development.

✔2. Analyzes the current architecture for gaps

Gap analysis is a required step in:

Phase B (Business Architecture)

Phase C (Data/Application Architecture)

Phase D (Technology Architecture)

It is also part of Architecture Change Management (Phase H) when examining existing threats or deficiencies.

✔3. Creates a Change Request

In TOGAF, if gaps or new risks require architectural enhancements, aformal Change Requestis submitted. This is a mandatory TOGAF mechanism.

✔4. Architecture Board evaluates the Change Request

The Architecture Board approves major changes before a new cycle starts — exactly as described in option C.

✔5. Initiates a new ADM cycle with a RfAW

TOGAF explicitly states:

A new or major architecture change requires aRequest for Architecture Workbefore beginning a new ADM cycle.

Option C follows this sequencing precisely:

Identify requirements → analyze gaps → issue change request → Architecture Board approval → create RfAW → start new ADM cycle.

This is textbook TOGAF.

❌Why the Other Options Are Incorrect

A – Too narrow and focuses only on Technology Architecture

The problem spans business continuity, data protection, and enterprise-wide readiness — not just infrastructure.

Does not include gap analysis, stakeholder analysis, or initiating a formal ADM cycle.

Incorrectly reduces ransomware mitigation to technology controls.

B – Architecture Compliance Review is inappropriate here

A Compliance Review is used to:

Ensureimplementationconforms to architectureNot to:

Identify new risks

Strengthen the architecture

Conduct gap analysisThis option is misusing the review process.

D – Supplier-driven, not TOGAF-driven

Involves contacting suppliers prematurely — not aligned with TOGAF’s architecture-first methodology.

Does not involve Architecture Board approval before pursuing solutions.

Jumps into solutioning before architectural approval.

Question 33

Scenario

You are working as an Enterprise Architect within an Enterprise Architecture (EA) team at a global company that sells consumer products. The company produces many products that buyers use and enjoy.

The company has announced a major change to its products that will occur over a four-year period. This change includes the introduction of digital products and services. An architecture to support this strategy has been finished, along with a roadmap for a set of projects to implement this significant change. This will be a cross-functional effort between the product design and software teams. It is planned to be developed in phases.

The company faces a challenge in presenting and providing access to different services through its products and digital platforms while ensuring compliance with data privacy laws. In some countries and regions, the data residency requirements mean that the company has to store certain data within the region where it is collected. As a result, the company’s application portfolio and infrastructure must connect with various cloud services and data repositories in different countries.

The EA team has inherited the architecture used by the current products, some of which can be carried over to the new products. The EA team has started to define which parts of the architecture to carry forward. Enough of the Business Architecture has been defined so that work can commence on the Information Systems and Technology Architectures. Those architectures need to be defined to support the key digital services that the company plans to provide.

The company uses the TOGAF Standard as the foundation for its Enterprise Architecture framework, and architecture development follows the purpose-based EA Capability model outlined in the TOGAF Series Guide: A Practitioner’s Approach to Developing Enterprise Architecture Following the TOGAF ADM. The EA team reports to the Chief Information Officer (CIO), who oversees the program.

You have been asked how to decide and organize the work to deliver the requested architectures.

Based on the TOGAF standard, which of the following is the best answer?

Options:

You refer to the superior architecture for guidance. You review the projects identified, their dependencies, and synergies, then decide the sequence for starting the projects. You develop high-level architecture descriptions. For each project, you determine how much work is needed, identify reference architectures, and candidate building blocks. You identify the resource needs taking into account cost and value. You document the different o

You look outside the company to study how other companies organize their data models and application portfolios. You create just enough architecture description for the Application, Data, and Technology Architectures to identify the different options. For each project, this includes identification of candidate architecture and solution building blocks. You then identify solution providers, perform a readiness assessment, and assess the viab

You research leading data companies, using your findings to help in developing high-level Target Data, Application, and Technology Architectures. You review the Architecture Vision to determine the level of detail, time, and scope of the ADM cycle phases required for each project. You identify and estimate the cost of the main resources. You then prepare an Architecture Roadmap and request the Architecture Board to review the roadmap. You t

You commence an iteration of ADM Phase A, identifying the stakeholders and revising the Architecture Vision. You perform a Stakeholder Analysis and update the Stakeholder Map. You conduct workshops and interviews to reflect the stakeholders who are now the key drivers for the digital products and services. You coordinate with the CIO to ensure alignment with the overall roadmap and update the Implementation and Migration Plan accordingly.

Explanation:

Comprehensive and Detailed Step-by-Step Explanation

Context of the Scenario

The company is in the process of delivering requested architectures to support the introduction of digital products and services. The Business Architecture is sufficiently defined, and the focus is on developing the Information Systems and Technology Architectures.

TOGAF emphasizes breaking down large, complex transformation programs into manageable projects, focusing on dependencies, risks, trade-offs, and sequencing of efforts. Based on the scenario, the company must deal with:

Data privacy and residency compliance across different regions.

Re-use of existing architecture for efficiency.

Alignment of digital services with a global roadmap.

The activity described aligns with ADM Phases B (Business Architecture), C (Information Systems Architecture), and D (Technology Architecture), with a focus on delivering architectures for implementation.

Option Analysis

Option A:

Strengths:

Refers to developing high-level architecture descriptions and identifying reference architectures and candidate building blocks, which align with ADM Phases B, C, and D.

Addresses feasibility analysis, trade-offs, and stakeholder engagement, which are part of architecture development and decision-making in TOGAF.

Ensures that the architecture descriptions are resource-conscious, including cost and value analysis, dependencies, risks, and synergies between projects.

Conclusion: Correct, as it provides a complete approach to organizing the work to deliver architectures while adhering to TOGAF principles.

Option B:

Strengths:

Suggests creating architecture descriptions for the Application, Data, and Technology Architectures, which are necessary for delivering requested architectures.

Addresses readiness assessments and the fitness of solutions.

Weaknesses:

Emphasizes looking outside the company and studying other companies’ models, which is not necessarily aligned with TOGAF unless justified by specific gaps.

Skips essential TOGAF steps like feasibility analysis and detailed stakeholder engagement.

Conclusion: Incorrect, as it places undue emphasis on external research instead of leveraging TOGAF’s structured ADM.

Option C:

Strengths:

Suggests reviewing the Architecture Vision and determining scope, which aligns with TOGAF principles.

Proposes preparing an Architecture Roadmap and involving the Architecture Board for review.

Weaknesses:

Does not cover important elements such as candidate building blocks, feasibility analysis, or stakeholder engagement.

Suggests starting the project prematurely without proper sequencing or risk trade-offs.

Conclusion: Incorrect, as it skips key steps and lacks a structured approach to dependencies and resource management.

Option D:

Strengths:

Suggests revising the Architecture Vision and conducting a Stakeholder Analysis, which aligns with Phase A of the ADM.

Weaknesses:

Returning to Phase A is not required here, as the Architecture Vision has already been defined. Revising the vision at this stage indicates a step backward.

Lacks focus on feasibility analysis, dependencies, and sequencing, which are the immediate needs in this phase.

Conclusion: Incorrect, as it unnecessarily revisits earlier ADM phases instead of progressing.

TOGAF References

ADM Phases B, C, D: Emphasizes developing detailed architectures, identifying candidate building blocks, and addressing dependencies, risks, and resource needs (TOGAF 9.2, Chapters 8-10).

Architecture Roadmap and Feasibility Analysis: Guides sequencing and trade-offs for implementation (TOGAF 9.2, Section 12.4).

Stakeholder Engagement: Critical for ensuring alignment and feasibility (TOGAF 9.2, Section 24.2).

Question 34

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?

Options:

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.

Identify key stakeholders and develop a Communication Plan that addresses their needs. Ensure the architecture addresses risk management and summarizes features of the architecture.

Separate stakeholders into groups and categorize them. Develop models for each group and verify that their concerns are addressed in Phase G, Implementation Governance.

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.

Discussion

Answer:

Explanation:

In the context of the TOGAF standard, stakeholder management and addressing stakeholder concerns are critical components, especially for high-impact initiatives like adopting an AI-first approach. Here’s why the selected answer aligns best with TOGAF principles and the scenario:

Stakeholder Analysis and Engagement:Conducting a stakeholder analysis is essential as it helps identify and document the concerns, issues, and cultural factors influencing each stakeholder group. This aligns with TOGAF’s emphasis on understanding and managing stakeholder concerns, particularly in the Preliminary and Architecture Vision phases of the ADM (Architecture Development Method). Since the scenario highlights diverse concerns about AI, understanding each group's unique perspective will help the EA team tailor the architecture to address these effectively.

Architecture Vision Document:By documenting these concerns in the Architecture Vision document, the EA team can provide a clear, high-level representation of how AI will be adopted, its benefits, and how it addresses specific stakeholder concerns. This is critical for communicating the intent and value of the AI-first approach in a way that aligns with the agency's strategic goals, including addressing apprehensions about job security, skill development, and cyber resilience.

Risk Management and Architecture Requirements Specification:TOGAF highlights the importance of identifying and managing risks early in the process. By documenting the requirements related to risk in the Architecture Requirements Specification, the EA team ensures that these concerns are formally integrated into the architecture and addressed throughout the ADM phases. Regular assessments and feedback loops will provide a mechanism for continual risk monitoring and adjustment as the AI-first initiative progresses.

Alignment with TOGAF’s ADM Phases:The approach specified aligns with TOGAF’s guidance on managing risk and stakeholder concerns during the early ADM phases, specifically Architecture Vision and Requirements Management. In these phases, the framework emphasizes identifying and addressing risks associated with stakeholders' concerns to build a resilient and widely accepted architecture.

Reference to TOGAF Stakeholder Management Techniques:TOGAF’s stakeholder management techniques underscore the importance of understanding and addressing stakeholder needs as a foundational step. This involves assessing the influence and interest of various stakeholders and integrating their views into architectural development, ensuring that the architecture aligns with both business goals and operational realities.

In conclusion, by conducting a thorough stakeholder analysis and documenting concerns in both the Architecture Vision and Architecture Requirements Specification, the EA team can ensure that stakeholder concerns are addressed, that the architecture supports AI adoption effectively, and that potential risks are managed proactively. This approach will foster acceptance among stakeholders and ensure that the architecture aligns with the agency’s strategic goals and risk management requirements as recommended by TOGAF.

Question 35

Scenario

You are working as an Enterprise Architect within a large manufacturing company. The company has multiple divisions located worldwide.

After a recent study, senior management is concerned about the impact of the company’s multiple data centers and duplication of applications on business efficiency. To address this concern, a strategic architecture has been defined; it will help improve the ability to meet customer demand and improve the efficiency of operations. The strategic architecture involves the consolidation of multiple application programs that are currently used in different divisions and putting them all onto a cloud-based solution instead.

Each division has completed the Architecture Definition documentation to meet its own specific operational requirements. The enterprise architects have analyzed the corporate changes and implementation constraints. A consolidated gap analysis has been completed. Based on its results, the architects have reviewed the requirements, dependencies, and interoperability requirements needed to integrate the cloud-based solution. The architects have completed the Business Transformation Readiness Assessment. Based on all these factors, they have produced a risk assessment. They have also completed the draft Implementation and Migration Plan, the draft Architecture Roadmap, and the Capability Assessment deliverables.

Due to the risks of changing from the current environment, the decision has been taken that a gradual approach is needed to implement the target architecture. It will likely take a few years to complete the whole implementation process.

The company has a mature Enterprise Architecture (EA) practice and uses the TOGAF standard for its architecture development method. The EA practice is engaged throughout all the divisions, with implementation governance assigned to a business line. In addition to providing guidance on using architecture frameworks, including business planning, project/portfolio management, and operations management, the EA program is sponsored by the Chief Information Officer (CIO).

You have been asked to decide on the next steps for the migration planning.

Based on the TOGAF standard, which of the following is the best answer?

Options:

You update the Architecture Definition Document, which includes setting project objectives and documenting the final requirements. This will ensure that the architecture remains relevant and responsive to the needs of the enterprise. You then produce an Implementation Governance Model to manage the lessons learned prior to finalizing the Implementation and Migration Plan. You recommend that lessons learned be applied as changes to the archi

You conduct a series of Compliance Assessments to ensure that the architecture is being implemented according to the contract. The Compliance Assessment verifies that the implementation team is using the proper development methodology. It should include deployment of monitoring tools and ensure that performance targets are being met. If they are not met, then you would identify changes to performance requirements and update those in the Imp

You examine how the Implementation and Migration Plan affects the other frameworks being used in the organization. You coordinate the planning with the business planning, project/portfolio management, and operations management frameworks. You assign a business value to each project, considering the available resources and how well they align with the strategy. You then update the architecture roadmap and the Implementation and Migration Pla

You assess the business value for each project by applying the Business Value Assessment Technique. The assessment should focus on return on investment and performance evaluation criteria to prioritize the most progress of the architecture transformation. You confirm and plan a series of Transition Architecture phases using an Architecture Definition Increments Table. You document the lessons learned and generate the final Implementation an

Discussion

Answer:

Explanation:

Context of the Scenario

The organization is currently in the Migration Planning phase, which corresponds to Phase F of the TOGAF ADM (Architecture Development Method). The key activities for this phase involve:

Evaluating dependencies and impacts on other organizational frameworks.

Aligning the roadmap and migration plan with strategic objectives and available resources.

Addressing the risks of transitioning from the current architecture to the target architecture using a phased approach.

The deliverables (Architecture Roadmap, Capability Assessment, etc.) and assessments (Gap Analysis, Risk Assessment, Transformation Readiness) have already been developed. The next step is to refine and finalize the migration planning.

Option Analysis

Option A:

While updating the Architecture Definition Document could ensure alignment, this step was completed in earlier phases (B, C, D). At this stage, further changes to the architecture must go through a formal governance review, and applying lessons learned without review contradicts TOGAF principles.

Producing an Implementation Governance Model is more relevant in Phase G (Implementation Governance), not in Phase F.

Conclusion: Incorrect, as it suggests revisiting earlier steps and does not align with the current phase.

Option B:

Conducting Compliance Assessments ensures the architecture is implemented correctly, but this is a task for Phase G (Implementation Governance) after migration planning has been finalized and implementation begins.

Deployment of monitoring tools is also part of implementation and governance activities, not migration planning.

Conclusion: Incorrect, as it focuses on tasks belonging to a later phase.

Option C:

Examining how the Implementation and Migration Plan affects other organizational frameworks is critical in Phase F, as TOGAF emphasizes alignment with business planning, project/portfolio management, and operations management.

Assigning business value to each project ensures prioritization and optimal allocation of resources.

Updating the Architecture Roadmap and the Implementation and Migration Plan based on this analysis ensures strategic alignment and readiness for implementation.

Conclusion: Correct, as it addresses the key objectives of the Migration Planning phase comprehensively.

Option D:

Applying the Business Value Assessment Technique is valid for prioritizing initiatives but is a limited aspect of Migration Planning.

Planning Transition Architecture phases and documenting lessons learned are valid, but this does not address broader organizational impacts or dependencies as effectively as Option C.

Conclusion: Narrow focus; less comprehensive than Option C.

References to TOGAF

Phase F (Migration Planning): The focus is on aligning the migration plan with business objectives, considering organizational dependencies, and prioritizing projects (TOGAF 9.2, Chapter 12).

Architecture Roadmap and Implementation Plan: Updated to reflect changes in priorities and alignment with business frameworks (TOGAF 9.2, Section 12.4).

Framework Integration: Collaboration with other frameworks (e.g., business planning, portfolio management) ensures alignment across the organization (TOGAF 9.2, Section 6.5.2).

Business Value Assessment Technique: Used to prioritize initiatives based on return on investment and performance criteria (TOGAF 9.2, Section 24.4).
