Actual exam question from The Open Group's OGEA-103

Question #: 107
Topic #: 1

Please read this scenario prior to answering the question.

You are the Lead Enterprise Architect at a major agribusiness company. The company's mam harvest is lentils, a highly valued food grown worldwide. The lentil parasite, broomrape, has been an increasing concern for many years and is now becoming resistant to chemical controls. In addition, changes in climate favor the propagation and growth of the parasite. As a result, the parasite cannot realistically be exterminated, and it has become pandemic, with lentil yields falling globally.

In response to the situation, the CEO has decided that the lentil fields will be used for another harvest. The company will also cease to process third-party lentils and will repurpose its processing plants. Thus, the target market will change, and the end-products will be different and more varied.

The company has recently established an Enterprise Architecture practice based on the TOGAF standard as method and guiding framework. The CIO is the sponsor of the activity. A formal request for architecture change has been approved. At this stage there is no fixed scope, shared vision, or objectives.

A. You propose that this engagement define the baseline Technology Architecture first in order to assess the current infrastructure capacity and capability for the company.

This will identify requirements to ensure that the projects are sequenced in an optimal fashion so as to realize the change.
B. You propose that the team focus on architecture definition including development of business models, with emphasis on defining the change parameters to support this new business strategy that the CEO has identified.

C. You propose that the priority is to produce a new Request for Architecture Work leading to development of a new Architecture Vision. The trade-off method should be applied to identify and select an architecture satisfying the stakeholders. For an efficient change the EA team should be aligned with the organization’s planning, budgeting, operational, and change processes.
