The global popularity of a series of children’s books describing the formative years of a budding wizard and his various escapades at wizard school has driven unprecedented sales growth in the magical equipment market. The current IT systems at Magic Wand are struggling to cope with the high volumes in this growth market.
The CIO wants to persuade the board of Magic Wand Corporation to make a greater investment in the IT systems to cope with the new higher transaction volumes. On of the key components the CIOs wants to include when he approaches the board is a description of the current problems and how they may be addressed from an architectural point of view. As the High Architect of Magic Wand Corporation, the CIO has delegated the task of creating a vision for the future Architecture to you.
Which of the following answers best describes how TOGAF recommends delivering an Architecture Vision for the CIO?
a) Firstly, I ensure there is a Request for Architecture Work from the CIO. Then I ensure that there is recognition for the architecture vision project by following any project management and programmed management frameworks used within the organization. I would identify the key stakeholders and engage with them to understand and document their concerns and high-level requirements. This would result in a stakeholder map used to support other deliverables such as the Architecture Vision, a Communications plan and a Statement of Architecture Work. I would then identify the business goals and strategic drivers of the organization and define any enterprise or project specific constraints such as time and resources. I would then define the business capabilities of the organization needed to fulfill those business goals and drivers and their readiness for change. Once complete, I would define the scope, confirm the architecture and business principles and develop the Architecture Vision. Following this, I would define the business case for the architecture project, assess the business risks and produce a risk mitigation plan. I would then define a plan of enterprise architecture work to meet the scope in the desired time line and the resources required and secure the support of stakeholders.
b) I would start by ensuring there is a Request for Architecture Work from the sponsor (the CIO). I would then create a project to define and deliver the architecture vision and the necessary outputs. The outputs include an approved Statement of Architecture Work, refined statements of Businesses Principles, Business Goals and Business Drivers, Architecture Principles, a Capability Assessment, a Tailored Architecture Framework, an Architecture vision, a Communications plan. The Statement of Architecture Work needs to be clear on the scope of architectural work, the resources needed to complete the work and amount of time it would take to complete the work assuming the scope of architectural work is agreed and that all the resources required are available. The final step would be to agree the Statement of Architectural Work with stakeholders confirming the scope, schedule and confirming the availability of the necessary resources.
c) I would start by establishing the architecture project and follow the appropriate project management method. I would identify stakeholders their concerns and business requirements then confirm and elaborate the business goals, business drivers and constraints. I would then evaluate the business capabilities and readiness for business transformation and define the scope. I would then develop the architecture vision, define the target architecture value proposition, KPIs and identify and mitigate all risks associated with the transformation effort. Finally, I would develop an Enterprise Architecture Plan and Statement of Work and secure approval from the relevant stakeholders.
d) I would approach this by defining and establishing the architecture team and governance. This would be followed by agreeing and establishing the architecture principles. I would select and customize an architecture framework changing any terminology and selecting the right phases and customizing the structure of content and outputs from the chosen method. Finally I would select and implement and architecture tools. The outputs from this work would include an Organization Model for Enterprise Architecture, a Tailored Architecture Framework including method and content, the Architecture Principles, an initial architecture repository, restatement or references to business principles, business goals and business driver, a request for architecture work and the governance framework.

You are the Chief Architect from a consulting organization brought into review the work to date by AutoComp Corporation and to make recommendations to the CIO and the board on this.
Which of the following answers best describes how TOGAF recommends in this context?
a) I would determine the business value of each solution, prioritize accordingly each set of solutions, conduct detailed Risk Assessment and Mitigation, do Compliance reviews and then implement the solutions. I would present my recommendations to the board for agreement. Once this is done, I would update the architectures reflecting any changes resulting from the board discussion.
b) I would after confirming Enterprise Change Attributes and constraints, do a Consolidated Gap Analysis then dependencies, then group and allocate the transitions. I would also assess Enterprise readiness and risks. Then I would also assess the business value of the solutions, do risk analysis with mitigation and then schedule the work products.
c) I would do a Consolidated Gap Analysis by considering then dependencies, then group and allocate the transitions. I would then look to produce artifacts that describe the recommended projects, the risk, issues and dependencies. This would also include transition architects to move us from current architecture to the recommended target architectures. I would present my recommendations to the board for agreement. Once this is done, I would update the architectures reflecting any changes resulting from the board discussion.
d) I would look at the corporate culture and attitude to change, understand the constraints such as cost and the required time horizons. I would then look at the architecture work to ensure it is complete and seek to address any gaps. I would review the functional requirements and ensure there are complete interoperability requirements. I would then validate any dependencies and risks. Then formulate an implementation and migration strategy identifies major work packages and the transition architecture required. Finally, once agreement is reached with the board I will create project charters and re-factor any changes needed from the board discussion into the architecture.
