Question 4

Scenario: Zephyr Enterprises -

Zephyr Enterprises specializes in the development of wind turbine blades for use in large-scale commercial wind energy production systems. Zephyr has manufacturing facilities located in Palm Springs, California, Omaha, Nebraska, and Winnipeg, Ontario. Each of these plants supplies a different manufacturer that builds and sells complete systems. The turbine blades are custom engineered to meet each manufacturers design specifications.

Until recently, most turbine blades were fabricated manually using molded fiber-reinforced plastics. However, recent improvements in composite materials, coupled with enhanced automated methods for precision application of materials during the molding process, have led to significant reduction in weight, increase in strength, and greatly improved blade longevity. Zephyr has pioneered the development of a proprietary automated process for continuous extrusion of the turbine blades. Patents have been filed to protect the process, but certain trade secrets must be closely guarded.

Zephyr has a mature Enterprise Architecture organization that is supported by a cross-functional Architecture Review Board. The Chief Information Officer and the

Chief Operating Officer co-sponsor the Enterprise Architecture program.

Zephyr has used TOGAF and its Architecture Development Method (ADM) to develop its automated manufacturing processes and systems that are used to design, manufacture, and test the blade assemblies. They have recently updated to TOGAF 9 and have adapted the Zephyr Enterprise Architecture to closely follow the TOGAF 9 framework. All of Zephyrs IT architects have been trained and certified on TOGAF 9.Recently, an architecture project was completed that defined a standard approach for controlling the Automated Test System that is used at each plant to perform final quality assurance tests on each completed blade assembly. The Manufacturing Architecture Board approved the plan for immediate implementation at each plant.

An Architecture Contract was developed that detailed the work needed to implement and deploy the new Automated Test System controller. The Chief Engineer, sponsor of the activity, has expressed concern that a uniform process be employed at each site to ensure consistency.

You are the Lead Architect for this activity.

You have been asked to recommend the best approach to adopt to address the Chief Engineer's concern.

Based on TOGAF 9, which of the following is the best answer?

    Correct Answer: D

    To address the Chief Engineer's concern for uniformity and consistency, it is essential to have a thorough and enforceable Architecture Contract that governs the implementation and migration process at each site. This contract should address project objectives, effectiveness metrics, acceptance criteria, and risk management. Conducting compliance reviews at key points in the implementation process ensures adherence to the Architecture Definition and addresses any deviations promptly. This structured approach ensures that the uniform process is maintained and any necessary customizations are properly reviewed and granted only if appropriate.

Discussion
tomvikOption: D

Ans is D

blahblah007

Must be "manage and govern" not just govern b/c https://pubs.opengroup.org/architecture/togaf8-doc/arch/chap25.html which says "This contract is also used to manage changes to the enterprise architecture in Phase H." Additionally, chief engineer says wants uniform deployment, which eliminates A & B b/c board needs to approve those.

Correct answer is D

itKarthikOption: D

This is a like a Paradox , I do think D suffices most of the requirements , The argument that uniform process must be followed is catered in D as well - It stats the migration and planning is governed by a Contract while the process is performed at each site , but not necessarily individual contract at each site.

PratsMicOption: D

Just passed the exam and got 100% - the answers are more clear and direct in actual exam Most of the answers are wrong in dumps!! like here the answers was D https://medium.com/@pratibhamic/how-i-successfully-passed-togaf-part-1-part-2-insights-and-strategies-de0c9eede0c6

PratsMic

things to note - the answer D here you is said in real exam 1. you were reviewing the contract ( coz contract is already created) 2. you have to choose an answer that decided whether or not to give an extension ..

mesteritOption: D

- D is the best Answer includes all the required techniques - C is the second answer, (You ensure that the contract addresses the project objectives, effectiveness metrics, acceptance criteria, and risk management) is not part of C - Architecture Board grant a dispensation to allow the implementation organization (grant without review So, B is the 3rd answer) - You then issue a new Request for Architecture Work So, A is wrong

mericovOption: D

Phase G establishes the connection between architecture and implementation organization, through the Architecture Contract. Project details are developed, including: ■ Name, description, and objectives ■ Scope, deliverables, and constraints ■ Measures of effectiveness ■ Acceptance criteria ■ Risks and issues All these are in D answer. However A/B/C contain "to utilize a memorandum of understanding" - this term is not present in TOGAF. Regarding to "an Architecture Contract to govern the implementation and migration process at each site." - this is allowed as "43.1 - In larger-scale implementations, there may well be one Architecture Contract per implementation team in a program of implementation projects" My answer will be D.

SVGNROption: C

• Option a is incorrect because “As a result, you then issue a new Request for Architecture Work to implement the modified Architecture Definition.” – Customization does not always warrant Request for Architecture Work. • Option B is incorrect because “the Manufacturing Architecture Board grant a dispensation to allow the implementation organization the ability to customize the process to meet their local needs.” – This will result uncontrolled customization which was the primary concern on the Chief Engineer • Option D is incorrect because “ Based on the results” – This almost implies that if results are good – then you allow customization -Otherwise not – As per TOGAF, Architecture Review Board should review all deviations and decide if it wants to approve them or not. Hence Option C is the best answer

I’ve further reasons, the project is in implementation governance iteration not development planning iteration. The second reason, the requirement is uniform process , so the automated test system controller will mange and control all sites.

hou0220Option: D

I choose D. Mainly because according to [TOGAF 9.2 section 42.3.2] - Compliance reviews are held at appropriate project milestones or checkpoints in the project’s lifecycle.

clementiOption: D

The correct answer seems D because it is more completed than C. In the contract you have to consider the risk managements, metrics etc. In addition C uses the term memorandum that TOGAF does not use.

Axial30zOption: D

Option D is correct in my opinion. It seems to meet the concerns of consistency and this will be achieved by compliance reviews. It also meets the security aspect of the guarding trade secrets. Distractor for me will be A as the Lead Architect will not issue a Request for Architecture Work.

tushmish

None look correct to me. 'An Architecture Contract was developed ' already. All options -> focus on creating it again.

things to note - the answer D here you is said in real exam 1. you were reviewing the contract ( coz contract is already created) - in real exam it says you are reviewing the contract 2. you have to choose an answer that decided whether or not to give an extension ..

nickozzOption: D

Based on TOGAF 9 principles and the given scenario, the most appropriate approach to address the Chief Engineer's concern for uniformity and consistency across all sites is D

papu1992Option: D

C and D stands out... C does not speak about compliance reviews but D does and hence is complete.

RACHIT0412Option: C

ChatGPT says C

THEMOST

dont understand, now which one the correct answer the voted one or the highlighted one from examtopics

JKLExTopOption: D

The word "Memorandum" is not mentioned in 43. , which makes D is the only correct answer

teachsphOption: C

I chose C because though it was between C and D, I thought that D states that you would treat each unit separately and provide a contract. However, the requirement was to ensure uniformity. So why give each unit autonomy? That said I could be wrong.

AnnieKKEOption: D

Correct answer is D
