Question No. 1
Please read this scenario prior to answering the question
You are the Lead Enterprise Architect at a major agribusiness company. The company's main harvest
is lentils, a highly valued food grown worldwide. The lentil parasite, broomrape, has been an
increasing concern for many years and is now becoming resistant to chemical controls. In addition,
changes in climate favor the propagation and growth of the parasite. As a result, the parasite cannot
realistically be exterminated, and it has become pandemic, with lentil yields falling globally.
In response to the situation, the CEO has decided that the lentil fields will be used for another
harvest. The company will also cease to process third-party lentils and will repurpose its processing
plants. Thus, the target market will change, and the end-products will be different and more varied.
The company has recently established an Enterprise Architecture practice based on the TOGAF
standard as method and guiding framework. The CIO is the sponsor of the activity. A formal request
for architecture change has been approved. At this stage there is no fixed scope, shared vision, or
objectives.
Refer to the scenario
You have been asked to propose the best approach for architecture development to realize the CEO's
change in direction for the company.
Based on the TOGAF standard which of the following is the best answer?

Question No. 2
Please read this scenario prior to answering the question
You are working as an Enterprise Architect at a large supermarket. The company runs many retail
stores, as well as an online grocery shop. Many of the stores used to remain open 24/7, but the
number has decreased in recent years. Instead, they now focus on fulfilling online orders during
the night.
The company has a mature Enterprise Architecture (EA) practice and uses the TOGAF standard
for its architecture development method. The EA practice is involved in all aspects of the
business, with oversight provided by an Architecture Board with representatives from different
parts of the business. The EA program is sponsored by the Chief Information Officer (CIO).
Each store uses a standard method to track sales and inventory. This involves sending accurate
timely sales data to a central Al-based inventory management system that can predict demand,
adjust stock levels and automate reordering. The central inventory management system is housed
at the company's central data center.
The company has bought a major rival. The Chief Executive Officer believes that a merger will
enable growth through combined offerings and cost savings. The decision has been taken to fully
integrate the two organizations, including merging retail operations and systems. This means that
duplicated systems will be replaced with one standard retail management system. Also, the
company will reduce the number of applications that are used. The CIO expects significant
savings will be achieved by implementing these changes across the newly merged company.
One improvement that the rival has successfully implemented is the use of hand-held devices
within stores, for both customers and staff. This has increased both customer and staff employee
satisfaction due to the time savings this has brought. The CIO has given the go-ahead to roll out
the devices in all stores but has stated that training on how to use the hand-held devices should
be brief because there are a lot of employees, many of whom are part-time.
The Request for Architecture Work to oversee the merger has been approved. The project has
been scoped and you have been assigned to work on it. Your role includes managing the
architecture for the retail stores.
Refer to the scenario
You have been asked to confirm the most relevant architecture principles for the transformation.
Based on the TOGAF Standard, which of the following is the best answer?
[Note: The sequence of the principles listed in each answer does not matter. You should assume
the company follows the set of principles that are provided in the TOGAF Standard, ADM
Techniques, Architecture Principles chapter. You may need to refer to section 2.6 located in ADM
Techniques within the reference text to answer this question.]

Question No. 5
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).

the impact and role that AI will play moving forward. The CIO has approved a Request for
Architecture Work to look at how AI can be used for services across the agency. She has noted that
digital platforms will be a priority for investment in order to scale the AI applications planned. Using
AI to automate tasks and make things run smoother is seen as a big advantage. Process automation
and improved efficiency from manual, repetitive activities have been identified as the key benefits of
applying generative AI to their agency’s business. This will include back-office automation, for
example, for help center agents who receive hundreds of email inquiries. This should also improve
services for citizens by making them more efficient and personalized, tailored to each individual’s
needs.
Many of the agency leaders are worried about relying too much on AI. Some leaders think their

AI. Other leaders worry about security and cyber resilience in the digital platforms needed for AI to
be successful.
The leader of the Enterprise Architecture team has asked for your suggestions on how to address the
concerns, and how to manage the risks of a new architecture for the AI-first project.
