You have been appointed as senior architect working for an autonomous driving technology development company. The mission of the company is to build an industry leading unified technology and software platform to support connected cars and autonomous driving.
The company uses the TOGAF Standard as the basis for its Enterprise Architecture (EA) framework.
Architecture development within the company follows the purpose-based EA Capability model as described in the TOGAF Series Guide: A Practitioners ' Approach to Developing Enterprise Architecture Following the TOGAF ADM.
An architecture to support strategy has been completed defining a long-range Target Architecture with a roadmap spanning five years. This has identified the need for a portfolio of projects over the next two years.
The portfolio includes development of travel assistance systems using swarm data from vehicles on the road.
The current phase of architecture development is focused on the Business Architecture which needs to support the core travel assistance services that the company plans to provide. The core services will manage and process the swarm data generated by vehicles, paving the way for autonomous driving in the future.
The presentation and access to different variations of data that the company plans to offer through its platform poses an architecture challenge. The application portfolio needs to interact securely with various third-party cloud services, and V2X (Vehicle-to-Everything) service providers in many countries to be able to manage the data at scale. The security of V2X is a key concern for the stakeholders. Regulators have stated that the user ' s privacy be always protected, for example, so that the drivers ' journey cannot be tracked or reconstructed by compiling data sent or received by the car.
Refer to the scenario
You have been asked to describe the risk and security considerations you would include in the current phase of the architecture development?
Based on the TOGAF standard which of the following is the best answer?

• A. You will create a security domain model so that assets with the same level can be managed under one security policy. Since data is being shared across partners, you will establish a security federation to include them. This would include contractual arrangements, and a definition of the responsibility areas for the data exchanged, as well as security implications. You would undertake a risk assessment determining risks relevant to specific data assets.
• B. You will focus on data quality as it is a key factor in risk management. You will identify the datasets that need to be safeguarded. For each dataset, you will assign ownership and responsibility for the quality of data needs. A security classification will be defined and applied to each dataset. The dataset owner will then be able to authorize processes that are trusted for a certain activity on the dataset under certain circumstances.
• C. You will perform a qualitative risk assessment for the data assets exchanged with partners. This will deliver a set of priorities, high to medium to low, based on identified threats, the likelihood of occurrence, and the impact if it did occur. Using the priorities, you would then develop a Business Risk Model which will detail the risk strategy including classifications to determine what mitigation is enough.
• D. You will focus on the relationship with the third parties required for the travel assistance systems and define a trust framework. This will describe the relationship with each party. Digital certificates are a key part of the framework and will be used to create trust between parties. You will monitor legal and regulatory changes across all the countries to keep the trust framework in compliance.

You are part of the Enterprise Architecture (EA) team at a company, employed as an Enterprise Architect.
The company creates and sells goods targeted at the consumer market, which are sold to retail organizations worldwide.
The EA team has operated successfully for several years and has well developed processes based on the TOGAF standard. The EA team ' s responsibilities include architecting product development processes and customer experience. The Enterprise Architecture practice at the company is sponsored by the Chief Technology Officer.
The company uses Agile product management techniques and Agile development practices. The EA team works with the product management teams, supporting and enabling the Agile development teams. The company routinely implements architecture and solution sprints that run in parallel, with the EA team developing Minimum Viable Architecture (MVA) deliverables.
The company is starting a digital transformation project where it will expand its offerings from physical products to also Include digital products and digital services. This includes enabling each of its product lines to offer digital products or services associated with their existing physical products.
You have been asked to work on a specific product line, which is experimenting with new direct-to-consumer digital products using a third-party platform. A Minimum Viable Architecture approach was taken for this experiment, including a shallow architecture development iteration with a focus on the Application Architecture, followed by a quick and minimal Implementation.
Customer feedback shows that the direct-to-consumer digital products are missing their revenue targets and are not reaching the target customers. The feedback is also saying that the customers do not find much value in these direct-to-consumer digital products. The product manager is seeking advice on how to tackle these problems, while making sure that the products stay within the guardrails set by the EA team.
Refer to the scenario
How will you gather information to address the missed revenue targets and inability to reach the intended target customers?
Based on the TOGAF standard which of the following is the best answer?

• A. You would start with the target Application Architecture, revising it to better align with the overall digital transformation plan. You would write a new Statement of Architecture Work including a detailed project description and a work plan. This should be submitted for review by the EA team leader. Once approved by the EA team leader, you would start a full ADM cycle to gather all the necessary information to address the issues raised.
• B. You would start another iteration of ADM Phases B-C. This would include development of a description in the Architecture Definition Document of how the product architecture needs to operate to achieve the business goals, and how the application will support the needs of the business as well as the customers. The Data Architecture should identify tools for data capture that would help with analysis of the concerns raised.
• C. You would start with the baseline Business Architecture and develop new architecture models to address the concerns raised. You use modeling techniques to identify customer segments, determine what is necessary to meet the customer ' s needs, and how to attract the target audience. In addition, including value streams and information maps would help. You would investigate different alternatives that would enhance the value proposition for the target audience.
• D. You would revise the target architecture for ADM Phase B and create new architecture models to address the issues raised. The models should identify different groups of customers, what they find valuable, how much it costs to serve them, and the resulting revenue. You would examine the customer value by using value stream mapping to breakdown the activities for the direct-to-consumer products.
  You would investigate different target Business Architecture alternatives.

You have been assigned to lead this project and asked to outline your next steps.
Based on the TOGAF standard, which of the following is the best answer?

• A. You would conduct a series of workshops with the local partners to gather requirements from them.
  Based on the findings from the workshops, you would define a preliminary Architecture Vision including summary views, high-level requirements, and high-level definitions of the baseline and target environments from a business, information systems, and technology perspective. You would then use the Architecture Vision to build agreement among the local partners.
• B. You would run multiple workshops at the manufacturing plants to discover and document business requirements. This would also help you understand the location-specific problems and identify the actors and roles at each location. You would create a matrix of stakeholders to identify key people involved and their concerns. You would then determine and record the main stakeholder requirements for the architecture. Finally, you would create clear high-level descriptions of the current and future architectures.
• C. You would create high level views of the baseline and target Architectures for each manufacturing plant, and then a set of views corresponding to selected viewpoints to address key concerns of the stakeholders. The gap analysis results for the architectures should be reviewed and consolidated into a single list. A set of work packages should be identified. A formal stakeholder review should be held to obtain approval before moving to the Target Architecture phase.
• D. You would run a proof-of-concept project to allow your suppliers to demonstrate candidate off-the- shelf solutions that address the concerns of the stakeholders. After looking at the results of the project, you would select the most efficient solution and use that to set the requirements.
