Question 311

Scenario -

Please read this scenario prior to answering the Question

You are serving as the Lead 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 and if these are successful, deployed 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, Section 23.6. You may need to refer to Chapter 23 of 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 TOGAF, which of the following is the best answer? [Note: The ordering of the principles listed in each answer is not significant.]

    Correct Answer: D

    To address problems with data quality and ensure data is managed accurately, Data Trustee is essential. Interoperability ensures systems can work together seamlessly, which is critical for real-time data collection and distribution. Data is an Asset emphasizes the value of data in decision making and quality improvement. Responsive Change Management is necessary to handle market trials and rapid deployment of new products efficiently. Maximize Benefit to the Enterprise ensures the architecture focuses on business needs, aligning with the strategy to support current and future business environments.

Discussion
nemOption: B

B is the best answer here. see how the principles aligned to the principles below. - Requirements Based Change "The architecture should focus on the needs of the business, not technology" - Business Continuity: "The stores operate 24 hours a day and 7 days a week" - Common Vocabulary and Data Definitions: This goes well with "They have decided to adopt TOGAF standard within the practice" and the next one - Data Trustee: "They need to address problems with data quality and inconsistent data in order to support better decision making and analysis." - Responsive Change Management: "Information systems must be able to manage changes and updates without undue delays." C - looks like a distractor A & D - both have interoperability which is fine but I think there isn't a clear requirements for data, applications, or technology interoperability.

AmarjeetOption: D

Q 347 is same and their answer is D Maximize Benefit to the Enterprise - Achieving maximum enterprise-wide benefit will require changes in the way we plan and manage information. Technology alone will not bring about this change.

But Principle 18: Requirements-Based Change is more aligned to this scenario in my opinion as it says: This principle will foster an atmosphere where the information environment changes in response to the needs of the business, rather than having the business change in response to IT changes. This is to ensure that the purpose of the information support — the transaction of business — is the basis for any proposed change.

vsudhagarOption: D

D is the correct answer

arparaOption: D

Based on TOGAF principles and the issues that need to be addressed in the restructuring of the Enterprise Architecture, the most relevant architecture principles for the current situation are: D. Interoperability, Maximize Benefit to the Enterprise, Data Trustee, Data is an Asset, Responsive Change Management These principles address the need to improve data quality, focus on the needs of the business, and ensure that information systems can manage changes and updates without undue delays, which aligns with the identified issues in the scenario.

pkkalraOption: B

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. Data Definitions - Data is defined consistently throughout the enterprise Responsive Change Management - "must be able to manage changes and updates without undue delays" . Changes to the enterprise information environment are implemented in a timely manner.

suman9524Option: D

Reason I am choosing D are : ✑ They need to address problems with data quality and inconsistent data in order to support better decision making and analysis - This concern can be addressed using Data Trustee policy ✑ The architecture should focus on the needs of the business, not technology - This will be addressed by Maximize benefit to enterprise. Ask is to need of business and not continuity of business ✑ To remain competitive, new products and promotions must undergo market trials and if these are successful, deployed across the retail chain. Information systems - Responsive change management . Check for the implications of each policy and map with the ask

noureldinOption: B

Correct answer is B. That’s it. Here the reasons 1. Business Continuity –> “The systems should be able to withstand any unforeseen disruptions which might affect day to day operations. This is highly critical for ensuring high levels of customer satisfaction and maintaining and growing revenue.” 2. Technology Independence –> “Dependencies between the application components, the application platform, and technology infrastructure should be minimal and well defined. This will facilitate scalability and ease of enhancement of the service offerings.” 3. Common Vocabulary and Data Definitions, Data Trustee –> “The company is adopting the ARTS Operational Data Model and Data Warehouse Model from the National Retail Federation. This will address past problems with data quality and inconsistent data.” 4.
