Scenario
Please read this scenario prior to answering the Question
You are working as a consultant to the Chief Architect at a government agency responsible for securing all
government communications and information systems. The agency has recently received funding for a program that will upgrade the reliability and performance of its secure communication systems which provide real-time, highly secure communication of voice, video, and message data to remote locations around the world.
The agency has an established enterprise architecture (EA) capability based on TOGAF 9. The Executive Director of the agency is the sponsor of the EA capability.
Since reliable, high-performance, and secure communications are essential to preserving national security, the Executive Director has placed more stringent requirements for the architecture for the upgraded system. It must be able to provide assurance and verification of specific performance measures on the key services that are most crucial for system operation. Focusing on these service-level details and specific measurements will allow more stringent requirements to be enforced in service contracts. It will also provide a high degree of assurance that necessary performance is being delivered and that notifications will occur if any critical service fails to perform as required.
A portion of the program budget has been allocated to context a review of the EA. The scope of the review is to evaluate the processes, content and governance of the EA capability to ensure that the higher target performance and service levels required by the upgraded system can be achieved.
The Chief Architecture has noted that the core EA artifacts that have been used since TOGAF 9 was introduced are not adequate to describe these new capabilities. The artifacts do not have explicit provisions for defining the in-depth measurement requirements regarding specific services required for the system. She has learned that certain services within the current system have service measurement implementations that match some of the new requirements, but they are only used in a few areas.
Recent EA efforts at another national agency have produced generalized high-performance communication system models to realize similar requirements in a critical defense system involving secure communications. It is possible that these models may be useful for the upgrade program.
Refer to the Scenario
You have been asked to make recommendations for tailoring the Architecture Content Metamodel to accommodate the requirements of the upgraded system.
Based on TOGAF, which of the following is the best answer?

1. A. Since some artifacts will now require specific measurements and additional data will be needed to support the performance objectives linked to these measurements, you recommend that the motivation and governance extensions of the TOGAF 9 Content Metamodel are use
2. B. Using these extensions will allow modeling the goals, objectives and drivers for the architecture, linking them to service levels and more detailed governance model
3. C. This will also enable the ability to re-use existing profiles, customizing them for the various service contracts involved.
4. D. You recommend all of the TOGAF 9 Content Metamodel extensions be incorporated into the Architecture Content Metamode
5. E. The full Content Metamodel will enable the EA team to capture and categorize all the important additional data needs to support the performance and measurement objectives linked to these artifact
6. F. Once the new repository content has been implemented, on- demand queries can be used to generate a customized governance stakeholder view that isolates the artifacts and data needed to assess measurement for any particular servic
7. G. If this view is found to be inadequate for the governance concerns, the service models within those artifacts can be expanded.
8. H. Since this case requires extensions of the modeling and data details of the service, this is best done by using the services extension of the TOGAF 9 Content Metamode
9. I. By using this extension, the service model is no longer constrained by what is expected in typical business service definitions, allowing more flexibility for adding customized models to support the more stringent measurement requirement
10. J. The services extension can also be used to map terminology between the business services and the application components.
11. K. To support the type of stringent performance measurements needed for the more detailed governance views required for the upgraded system, the interfaces to the communication and network layer of the architecture must be highly visible at the application leve
12. L. To accommodate the proper development of this, a Communications Engineering view should be created from the infrastructure extension models of the TOGAF Content Metamode
13. M. This view will allow architects to align the required performance measurement communications across the system.

Correct Answer: C

Scenario
Please read this scenario prior to answering the Question
You are serving as the Lead Architect for an insurance company, which has been formed through the merger of three previously independent companies. The company now consists of three divisions with the same names and division headquarters as their predecessors.
The lack of integration between the three divisions has increasingly caused problems in the handling of customer and financial information. The inability to share information has resulted in lost opportunities to leverage the synergies that should have been possible as a result of the merger. At present, each division maintains its own applications. Despite an earlier initiative to install a common application to manage customer, products, and claims information, each division has different ways of defining these core elements and has customized the common application to the point where the ability to exchange information is difficult, costly, and error-prone.
As a result, the company has made the decision to introduce a common web portal, contact center software suite, and document management system. Also the company has selected a single enterprise-wide customer relationship management (CRM) application to consolidate information from several applications that exist across the divisions. The application will be used by each of the divisions and accessed by third party partners through well defined interfaces.
The Corporate Board is concerned that the new application must be able to manage and safeguard confidential customer information in a secure manner that meets or exceeds the legal requirements of the countries in which the company operates. This will be an increasingly important capability as the company expands its online services in cooperation with its partners.
The CIO has formed an Enterprise Architecture department, and one of the primary goals in its charter is to coordinate efforts between the implementation team and the migration teams in each division. The CIO has also formed a cross-functional Architecture Board to oversee and govern the architecture. The company has an existing team of security architects.
TOGAF 9 has been selected as the core framework for use for the Enterprise Architecture program. The CIO has endorsed this choice with the full support of top management.
Refer to the Scenario
As part of the process for establishing the Enterprise Architecture department, you are developing a set of architecture principles to guide the activities.
You need to recommend the best approach for this work. Based on TOGAF, which of the following is the best answer?

1. A. You would review the mission statements for the company and its divisions, together with the corporate business goals and business driver
2. B. Based on that review, you would work closely with the key stakeholders and the Architecture Board to define the architecture principle
3. C. You would ensure that they actively promote the alignment of IT with the corporate business strategie
4. D. You would then hold review meetings with the relevant stakeholders, including senior management, ensuring their support.
5. E. You would gather information from credible industry sources in the insurance busines
6. F. Based on that information, you would assess current trends and apply them to defining a set of principles that embody best practice
7. G. You would select architecture principles that do not conflict with each other and that should be stabl
8. H. You would ensure that all the principles are realistic and avoid including principles that are too obvious.
9. I. You would analyze the mission statements for the company and each of its divisions, together with the corporate business goal
10. J. Based on that analysis, you would define a set of architecture principles and review them with the CI
11. K. When developing the principles, you would ensure that they actively promote the alignment of IT with the business strategies and initiatives of the compan
12. L. You would then seek the endorsement of the CIO and senior management.
13. M. You would define a set of principles that support the preferred best practices embodied in the Enterprise Architecture department charte
14. N. You would publish the principles on the corporate intranet to ensure widespread acceptance and complianc
15. O. You would then schedule regular periodic Compliance Assessments with each of the divisions to check that they have made satisfactory progress toward meeting the objectives and conditions embodied in the principles.
