Free The Open Group OGEA-103 Actual Exam Questions - Question 13 Discussion
You are working as an Enterprise Architect within an Enterprise Architecture (EA) team at an electric
vehicle manufacturer. The company produces electric cars and battery systems. The goal of the
company is to build the best technology and software platform for electric vehicles.
The company has decided to introduce a major change to its vehicle design over a five-year period.
This will be a cross-functional effort between hardware and software teams, delivering significant
new features in the vehicles they manufacture. It is planned to be developed in phases.
An architecture to support strategy has been completed with a roadmap for a set of projects.
The EA team has inherited the architecture for the hardware and software automotive platform used
by current vehicles, some of which can be carried over to the new vehicle design. The EA team has
started to define which parts of the architecture to carry forward.
The presentation and access to different variations of data that the company plans to offer through
its vehicles creates an architecture challenge. The application portfolio and supportinginfrastructure
must connect with multiple cloud services and data repositories in different countries to be able to
handle large-scale data.
Enough of the Business Architecture has been defined, so that work can commence on the
Information Systems and Technology Architectures. These architectures need to be defined to
support the primary business services that the company plans to provide. These services will manage
and process the data created by vehicles, paving the way for self-driving vehicles in the future.
The company uses the TOGAF Standard as the basis for its Enterprise Architecture framework.
The EA team reports to the Chief Technical Officer (CTO), who is the sponsor of the EA program.
The CTO requires that the EA team follow the purpose-based EA Capability model as described in:
The TOGAF Series Guide: A Practitioners’ Approach to Developing Enterprise Architecture Following
the TOGAF® ADM.
Refer to the scenario:
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?
C imo, because relying on the superior architecture to identify dependencies and risks is key for coordinated project planning. It’s more comprehensive than just updating stakeholders like in A or jumping into roadmaps prematurely like in B.
I think B is worth considering because it talks about reviewing the Architecture Vision and creating the Architecture Roadmap early in the process, which aligns with TOGAF’s emphasis on clear planning before starting work. It also includes estimating costs and getting approval from the Architecture Board, which feels like an important governance step. Unlike A and C, it focuses more on formal steps to move from vision to execution rather than just iterating or relying heavily on the superior architecture. That structured approach could be crucial in a complex, phased project like this.
Maybe A. It mentions updating stakeholders and roadmap, which fits TOGAF’s iterative approach well.
