[All OG0-092 Questions]

Scenario -
You have been assigned the role of Lead Enterprise Architect for a firm that produces components and replacement parts for the automobile, electronics, and telecommunications industries. The firm has been established for over 70 years. North America has been the primary market for its products, with just 20% of its output being exported to Europe. The firm is planning to expand its exports to Europe and also to establish sales in South America and the Asia Pacific region.
The firm is organized into business units that each focus on the different industry sectors. Each business unit has acquired other producers to expand its manufacturing capacity. This has resulted in a complex environment with a high diversity of business and manufacturing systems.
The Enterprise Architecture (EA) program within the firm has been functioning for several years.
It has made significant progress in consolidating the technology portfolio and establishing key standards. The CIO and the COO are joint sponsors of the EA program. The EA program is mature, with an active Architecture Board and a well-defined architecture process and standard content templates based on the
TOGAF 9 Architecture Content Framework. The EA process framework is well coordinated with the PMO, Systems Development, and Operations functions.
The firm has completed a strategic plan to reorganize its Sales & Marketing organization according to the target geographic markets. One of the goals of this reorganization is to improve the ability of Marketing to collect more meaningful market analytics that will enable each sector to better address market needs with effective marketing campaigns and global product presence.
A Request for Architecture Work to address the goals of the reorganization has been approved. As the architecture team commences its work, the CIO has expressed concerns about whether the firm will be able to adapt to the proposed change and how to manage the associated risks.
You have been asked how to address the concerns of the CIO.
Based on TOGAF, which of the following is the best answer?

  • A. In Phase B, the team should create a set of views that will enable them to identify the factors that will influence the reorganization. There should then be an assessment of each factor on a maturity scale that will allow the team to gauge the urgency, readiness, and degree of difficulty to fix. These factors can then be used to assess the initial risks associated with the proposed project.
  • B. In Phase A, the team should analyze their risk by completing an Implementation Factor Assessment and Deduction Matrix to identify the particular risks associated with the implementation and deployment. The matrix should include a list of factors to be considered, their descriptions, and constraints that should be taken into account. These factors can then used to assess the initial risks associated with the proposed project.
  • C. In Phase A, the team should use the Business Transformation Readiness Assessment technique to identify the factors that will influence the reorganization. The assessment should include determining the readiness rating for each factor based on a maturity scale that will allow the team to gauge the urgency, readiness, and degree of difficulty to fix. These factors can then used to assess the initial risks associated with the proposed project.
  • D. In Phase A, the team should conduct a Business Scenario to identify the stakeholders1 concerns and the resulting requirements. Once the requirements have been identified, they can be assessed in terms of their risks. The risks should be evaluated in terms of how they could be avoided, transferred, or mitigated. Any risks that cannot be resolved should be identified as residual risks and their disposition should be decided by the Architecture Board.

C should be the correct answer as BTRA technique is used to identify the risks which can be identified and mitigated in Phase-E and F. Business scenario is just used to understand the requirement.

Selected Answer: C
I guess C is better than D. https://pubs.opengroup.org/architecture/togaf9-doc/arch/index.html. "Residual Level of Risk: risk categorization after implementation of mitigating actions (if any)". Thus, residual risks is not a risk that cannot be resolved, but derived risk after risk mitigation. On the other hand, the risks should be evaluated in terms of their impact (frequency and Effect).

I go for C. Still Business Scenarios are really to discover the requirements, as opposed to risks. I can't imagine how the requirement by itself could reveal the risk.

D doens't make a statement "whether the firm will be able to adapt to the proposed architecture ". The steps in D only concentrate on "how to manage the associated risk". In my opinion C is right.

I would go for D, C just identifies the initial risk through BTRA and leaves it there. in D, although it doesn't name BTRA, it does the correct thing, identifies and addresses initial and residual risks. More complete risk management.

I hear you. however if we go into details, the question is " the CIO has expressed concerns about whether the firm will be able to adapt to the proposed change and how to manage the associated risks." so the actual question can be answered by BTRA, It is not asking what to do about it. result of the brta answers the question
