Please read this scenario prior to answering the question
You are working as Chief Enterprise Architect at a large Internet company. The company has many divisions, ranging from cloud to logistics. The company has grown rapidly, expanding from initially selling physical books and media to a range of services including an online marketplace, live-streaming. eBooks. and cloud services.
Overall management of the numerous divisions has become challenging. Recent high- profile projects have overrun on budget and under delivered, damaging the company's reputation, and adversely impacting its share price. There is a widely held view within the executive management that the organization structure has played a major role in these project failures.
The company has an established Enterprise Architecture program based on the TOGAF standard, sponsored jointly by the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Chief Information Officer (CIO). The CEO has decided that the company needs to reorganize its divisions around artificial intelligence and machine learning with a focus on automation. The CEO has worked with the Enterprise Architects to create a strategic architecture for the reorganization, including an Architecture Vision, together with definitions for the four domain architectures. This sets out an ambitious vision of the future of the company over a three-year period. This includes a set of work packages and includes three distinct transformations.
The CIO has made it clear that prior to the approval of the detailed Implementation and Migration plan, the EAteam will need to assess the risks associated with the proposed architecture. He has received concerns from key stakeholders across the company that the proposed reorganization may be too ambitious and there is doubt whether it can produce sufficient value to warrant the risks.

4. D. The business value, effort, and risk associated for each transformation should be determined.
5. E. The Enterprise Architects should bring together information about potential approaches and produce several alternative target transition architecture
6. F. They should then investigate the different architecture alternatives and discuss these with stakeholders using the Architecture Alternatives and Trade-offs techniqu
7. G. Once the target architecture has been selected, it should be analyzed using a state evolution table to determine the Transition Architecture
8. H. A value realization process should then be established to ensure that the concerns raised are addressed.
9. I. Establishing interoperability in alignment with the corporate operating model will ensure risks are minimize
10. J. The Enterprise Architects should apply an interoperability analysis to evaluate any potential issues across the architectur
11. K. This should include the development of a matrix showing the interoperability requirement
12. L. These can then be included within the transformation strategy embedded in the target transition architecture
13. M. The Enterprise Architects should then finalize the Architecture Roadmap and the Implementation and Migration Plan.
14. N. Before preparing the detailed Implementation and Migration plan, the Enterprise Architects should review and consolidate the gap analysis results from Phases B to This will identify the transformations required to achieve the proposed Target Architectur
15. O. The Enterprise Architects should then assess the readiness of the organization to undergo change and determine an overall direction to address and mitigate risks identifie
16. P. The Transition Architecture should then be planned to use a state evolution table.

Correct Answer: A
The Business Transformation Readiness Assessment is a technique that can be used to evaluate the readiness of the organization to undergo change and to identify the actions needed to increase the likelihood of a successful business transformation. This technique can help to address the concerns of the key stakeholders about the risks and value of the proposed reorganization. The technique involves assessing the following aspects of the organization: vision, commitment, capacity, capability, culture, and communication. Based on the assessment, the risks associated with the transformations can be identified, classified, and mitigated for. The technique also helps to identify the dependencies between the set of changes, including gaps and work packages, and the improvement actions to be worked into the Implementation and Migration Plan. The technique also supports the determination of the business value, effort, and risk associated for each transformation, which can be used to prioritize and sequence the work packages and the Transition Architectures1 References: 1: The TOGAF Standard, Version 9.2, Part III: ADM Guidelines and Techniques, Chapter 27: Business Transformation Readiness Assessment

Which of the following describes how the Enterprise Continuum is used when developing an enterprise architecture?

1. A. To identify and understand business requirements
2. B. To coordinate with the other management frameworks in use
3. C. To describe how an architecture addresses stakeholder concerns
4. D. To classify architecture and solution assets

Correct Answer: D
The Enterprise Continuum consists of two complementary concepts: the Architecture Continuum and the Solutions Continuum1. The Architecture Continuum provides a consistent way to describe and understand the generic and reusable architecture building blocks, such as models, patterns, and standards, that can be applied and tailored to specific situations2. The Solutions Continuum provides a consistent way to describe and understand the specific and implemented solution building blocks, such as products, services, and components, that realize the architecture building blocks3. The Enterprise Continuum enables the reuse and integration of architecture and solution assets across different levels of abstraction, scope, and detail, ranging from foundation architectures to organization-specific architectures1.
The Enterprise Continuum is used when developing an enterprise architecture to support the following activities1:
•Selecting relevant architecture and solution assets from the Architecture Repository or other sources, based on the business drivers, goals, and requirements
•Adapting and customizing the architecture and solution assets to suit the specific needs and context of the enterprise
•Defining and developing the target architecture and the architecture roadmap, based on the gaps and opportunities identified between the baseline and the target states
•Defining and developing the implementation and migration plan, based on the architecture roadmap and the solution building blocks
•Governing and managing the architecture and solution assets throughout the architecture lifecycle, ensuring their quality, consistency, and compliance

Complete the sentence. The key purpose of Gap Analysis is to ________

1. A. establish quality parameters for the architecture
2. B. identify potential missing or overlapping functions
3. C. validate nonfunctional requirements
4. D. identify commercial building blocks to be purchased
5. E. determine the required service levels for the architecture

Correct Answer: B
Gap Analysis is a technique that compares the Baseline Architecture and the Target Architecture to identify the differences and gaps between them. The purpose of this technique is to determine the changes and additions that are required to achieve the desired future state of the architecture. One of the main aspects of Gap Analysis is to identify the functions that are missing or overlapping in the current and future architectures, and to plan how to address them. This helps to ensure that the architecture is complete, consistent, and aligned with the business objectives and requirements3
