Which of the following does the TOGAF standard describe as a package of functionality defined to meet business needs across an organization?
Consider the following chart:
Which important concept for Enterprise Architecture Practitioners does it illustrate?
You are working as an Enterprise Architect within an Enterprise Architecture (EA) team at a large government agency with multiple divisions. The agency has a well-established EA practice and follows the TOGAF standard as its method for architecture development. The government has mandated that the agency prepare for an "AI-first" world.
The agency wants to determine the impact and role of AI in its future services. The CIO has approved a Request for Architecture Work to explore the use of AI in services. Some leaders are concerned about reliance on AI, security, and employees’ need to acquire new skills.
The EA team leader seeks suggestions on managing the risks associated with a new architecture for the AI-first project. Based on the TOGAF standard, which of the following is the best answer?
Scenario:
You are working as an Enterprise Architect at a large company. The company runs a chain of home improvement stores, as well as a website for selling products. The website lets many brands work with the company.
The stores open seven days a week and use a standard method to track sales and inventory. This involves sending accurate and timely sales data to a central inventory management system that can predict demand, adjust stock levels, and automate reordering. The website is supported by regional fulfillment centers and also uses the central inventory management system. The central inventory management system is housed at the company’s central data center.
The company has agreed to merge with a major competitor. The leadership teams of both organizations have said they are committed to a smooth transition for customers. All stores will keep their own brand names. They will combine the systems of the organizations, which includes merging retail operations and systems. Duplicated systems will be replaced with one standard retail management system. Additionally, they will reduce the number of applications being used. The CIO expects that these changes will lead to substantial cost savings for the newly merged company.
An enterprise plan for both organizations has been created. The aim is to set priorities for the transition, especially in terms of information management and application development. It is crucial to make decisions that will create long-term value.
The company has a mature Enterprise Architecture (EA) practice and uses the TOGAF standard for its architecture development method. The EA program is sponsored by the Chief Information Officer (CIO).
The Request for Architecture Work to oversee the transition has been approved. The project has been scoped, and you have been assigned to work on it.
You have been asked to confirm the most relevant architecture principles for the transition.
