[All OG0-092 Questions]

Scenario:
You are the Lead Enterprise Architect in a company that specializes in the development of wind turbine blades for use in large-scale commercial wind energy production systems. The company has manufacturing facilities located in Illinois, Nebraska, and Manitoba. Each of these plants supplies a different manufacturer that builds and sells complete systems. The turbine blades are custom engineered to meet each manufacturer's design specifications.
Until recently, most turbine blades were fabricated manually using molded fiber-reinforced plastics. However, recent improvements in composite materials, coupled with enhanced automated methods for precision application of materials during the molding process, have led to significant reduction in weight, increase in strength, and improved blade longevity. The company has pioneered the development of a proprietary automated process for continuous extrusion of the turbine blades. Patents have been filed to protect the process, but certain trade secrets must be closely guarded.
The company has a mature Enterprise Architecture organization that is supported by a cross-functional Architecture Board. The Chief Information Officer and the
Chief Operating Officer co-sponsor the Enterprise Architecture program.
TOGAF 9 and its Architecture Development Method (ADM) are used to develop the automated manufacturing processes and systems that are used to design, manufacture, and test the blade assemblies.
Recently, a pilot architecture project was completed at a single location that defined a standard approach for controlling the Automated Test System that is used at each plant to perform final quality assurance tests on each completed blade assembly. The Architecture Board approved the plan for immediate implementation at each plant.
Architecture Contracts have been developed that detail the work needed to implement and deploy the new Automated Test System controller for each location.
The Chief Engineer, sponsor of the activity, has expressed concern that a uniform process be employed at each location to ensure consistency.
You have been asked to recommend the best approach to address the Chief Engineer's concern.
Based on TOGAF 9, which of the following is the best answer?

  • A. You review the applicable Architecture Contract for each location, ensuring that it addresses the project objectives, effectiveness metrics, acceptance criteria, and risk management. In cases where the contract is issued to an external party, you ensure that it is a legally enforceable contract. You schedule compliance reviews at key points in the implementation process to ensure that the work is proceeding in accordance with the Architecture Definition. You ensure that the Architecture Board reviews all deviations from the Architecture Contract, and considers whether or not to grant a dispensation to allow the implementation organization to customize the process to meet their local needs.
  • B. You create an Architecture Contract to manage and govern the implementation and migration process at each location. For internal development projects, you issue a memorandum of understanding between the Architecture Board and the implementation organization. For contracts issued to an external party, you ensure that it is a fully enforceable legal contract. You ensure that the Architecture Board reviews all deviations from the Architecture Contract, and considers whether or not to grant a dispensation to allow the implementation organization to customize the process to meet their local needs.
  • C. You create an Architecture Contract to manage and govern the implementation and migration process. If the contract is issued to an external party, you ensure that it is a fully enforceable legal contract. For internal development projects, you decide it is adequate to utilize a memorandum of understanding between the Architecture Board and the implementation organization. You recommend that if a deviation from the Architecture Contract is detected, the Architecture Board grant a dispensation to allow the implementation organization the ability to customize the process to meet their local needs.
  • D. You use the issued Architecture Contracts to manage the architecture governance processes for the project across the locations. You deploy monitoring tools to assess the performance of the completed blade assembly at each location and develop change requirements if necessary. You recommend that if a deviation from the contract is detected, the Architecture Board should modify the Architecture Contract to allow the implementation organization the ability to customize the process to meet their local needs. As a result, you then issue a new Request for Architecture Work to implement the modified Architecture Definition.

Hi Victor, A seems correct, in the question, it was already mentioned that there are different contracts for each locations.

Selected Answer: A
B and C are incorrect as they are mentioning "You create Architecture Contracts" while the contracts are already created. Also, D mentions submitting a new Request of Work, which is not needed here, as this can be done by using the Iteration Cycle ADM technique. So A looks to be correct.

A: Best one: Internal governance - there is lesser problem with losing the secrets B: is OK, but external - Problem with the "certain trade secrets must be closely guarded" C : if a deviation from the Architecture Contract is detected,the Architecture Board grant a dispensation to allow (doesn't matter what, it will be granted) D : We don't need need Architecture definition. Dispansation is enough

Architecture Contract covers internal Organizations also and TOGAF specification does not mention MoU anywhere . See https://pubs.opengroup.org/architecture/togaf9-doc/arch/chap43.html Read the following part "At the beginning of Phase G (Implementation Governance), between the architecture function and the function responsible for implementing the Enterprise Architecture defined in the preceding ADM phases; typically, this will be either the in-house systems development function, or a major contractor to whom the work is outsourced" So the correct answer is A and not B as some may think

Answer is A. there is another version of this scenario where the contracts have not yet been developed. In that other case, the answer is the same but begins with "you create a contract" . in this case, the contracts are already done, so its exactly the same ending, just starting with "you REVIEW the contracts". :)

Good catch. The only thing I am not sure of is - Architecture Contract for 'each location'.

Architecture Contracts are already developed, so EA does not have to create it again. I think A is correct.

Sponsor's concern is to have a uniform process, while answer A is assuming different contracts which doesn't address stakeholder's concern.
