NEW QUESTION 6

Scenario:
Please read this scenario prior to answering the Question
You are serving as the Lead Architect for the enterprise architecture team at the prime contractor for the Dreadnought Unmanned Aircraft System program.
Over the course of this contract, the company has grown rapidly by acquisition and has inherited numerous different procurement processes and related IT systems. The decision has been made to consolidate and reduce redundant procurement processes and systems. The CEO has announced that the company will seek to leverage higher volume discounts and lower related IT support costs by instituting a preferred supplier program.
TOGAF 9 Is used for internal Enterprise Architecture activities, with an iterative approach for executing
Architecture Development Method (ADM) projects.
At present, there are no particularly useful architectural assets related to this initiative, so all assets need to be acquired and 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 existing processes or systems.
The architect-re development project has put in place Its Architecture Capability for this project and has started a number of iteration cycles to develop the Architecture. Some tasks to address concerns related to the Business Architecture have been completed. The next immediate task is to address the Information Systems Architectures.
The Information Systems Architectures must address stakeholder concerns such as:
* 1. Which procurement-related business processes are supported by zero, one, or many existing applications?
* 2. What non-procurement applications will need to be integrated with any new procurement applications?
* 3. What data will need to be shared?
Refer to the Scenario
[Note: You may need to refer to TOGAF 9 Chapter 35 in order to answer this question.]
You have been asked to identify the most appropriate catalogs, matrices, and diagrams for this situation. Based on TOGAF 9, which of the following is the best answer?

• A. in the early iterations of Architecture development, you would describe the Baseline Application Architecture with a System/Function matrix, and describe the Baseline Data Architecture using a Data Entity/Data Component catalo
• B. In the later Iterations of the Architecture Definition, you would describe the Target Application Architecture using Application Communication diagrams and an Application Interaction matrix, and describe the Target Data Architecture with a System/Data matrix.
• C. In the early iterations of Architecture development, you would describe the Target Application Architecture with Application Communication diagrams and an Application Interaction matrix, and describe the Target Data Architecture with a System/Data matri
• D. In the later iterations of Architecture development, you would describe the Baseline Application Architecture with an Application and User Location diagram and a System/Function matrix, and describe the Baseline Data Architecture with a Data Entity/Data Component catalog.
• E. In the early iterations of Architecture development, you would describe the Target Application Architecture with Application Communication diagrams and an Application Interaction matrix, and describe the Target Data Architecture with a Data Entity/Business Function matrix and a System/Data matri
• F. In the later iterations of Architecture development, you would describe the Baseline Application Architecture with a System/Function matrix, and describe the Baseline Data Architecture with a Data Entity/Data Component catalog.
• G. In the early iterations of Architecture development, you would describe the Baseline Application Architecture with a Technology Portfolio catalog, and describe the Baseline Data Architecture with a Data diagra
• H. In the later iterations of Architecture development, you would describe the TargetApplication Architecture with a System/Technology matrix, and describe the Target Data Architecture with a Data Dissemination diagram.

Answer: C

Explanation:
In this the company prefers to implement commercial off the shelf package application with little customization and not concerned about preserving existing processes or systems.

NEW QUESTION 7

Scenario
Please read this scenario prior to answering the question
You are serving as the Lead Enterprise Architect for a chain of convenience stores. The stores operate 24 hours a day and 7 days a week and use cloud-based point-of-sale (POS) technology to manage their sales and inventory. Cloud-based POS systems store all user data, including sales and inventory in a remote server.
The cloud-based systems collect real-time data to support ordering and product selection decisions including the tailoring of product assortment based on sales history, customer demographics as well as the next day's weather forecast. In many cases, several stores are located in neighboring areas. This strategy makes distribution to each store cheaper, as well as making multiple deliveries per day possible. The stores also act as self-service delivery locations for a large online retailer which further increases the number of potential customers entering the stores.
An Enterprise Architecture practice exists within the company, with the CEO and CIO as joint sponsors. They have decided to adopt TOGAF standard within the practice and the first project is to restructure the Enterprise Architecture so that it can better support the existing environment and accommodate future changes of strategy within the company.
The CIO has stated that the following issues need to be addressed in the restructuring:
They need to address problems with data quality and inconsistent data in order to support better decision making and analysis.
The architecture should focus on the needs of the business, not technology
To remain competitive, new products and promotions must undergo market trials before deployment across the retail chain. Information systems must be able to manage changes and updates without undue delays.
[Note: You should assume that the company has adopted the example set of principles that are listed and defined in TOGAF standard, Architecture Principles chapter. You may need to refer to the Architecture Principles chapter, section 20.6 (located in Part III) within the reference text in order to answer this question.]
You have been asked to identify the most relevant architecture principles for the current situation. Based on the TOGAF standard, which of the following is the best answer? [Note: The ordering of the
principles listed in each answer is not significant.]

• A. Requirements Based Change, Responsive Change Management, Data Trustee, Common Vocabulary and Data Definitions, Business Continuity
• B. IT Responsibility, Data Security, Ease of Use, Service Orientation, Common Use Applications
• C. Maximize Benefit to the Enterprise, Data Trustee, Data is an Asset, Responsive Change Management, Interoperability
• D. Data is Accessible, Data is Shared, Interoperability, Requirements Based Change, Control Technical Diversity

Answer: C
