Question 347

Scenario -

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 the 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 also 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.

Refer to the Scenario.

[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, Version 9.2, which of the following is the best answer? [Note: The ordering of the principles listed in each answer is not significant.]

    Correct Answer: A

    Requirements Based Change ensures that the architecture adapts based on business needs. Responsive Change Management enables timely implementation of changes to the information environment. Data Trustee addresses data quality issues, ensuring accuracy and currency. Common Vocabulary and Data Definitions promote consistency and facilitate data sharing across the enterprise. Business Continuity is crucial for the 24/7 operation of the stores, ensuring they can withstand disruptions. These principles align well with the needs of the business as outlined in the scenario.

I am thinking it is A. Reason given below. 1. The systems should be able to withstand any unforeseen disruptions which might affect day to day operations. – Business Continuity 2. Dependencies between the application components, the application platform, and technology infrastructure should be minimal and well defined. – Technology Independence 3.

Requirements Based Change - changes in response to the needs of the business, rather than having the business change in response to IT changes Data Trustee - for data quality. a trustee is responsible for accuracy and currency of the data.
