You are employed as an Enterprise Architect at a leading global technology enterprise specializing in digital infrastructure, cloud computing, and data-centric innovation. The company provides a vast ecosystem of platforms that serve billions of users across the globe. These platforms span online marketplaces, advanced advertising networks, AI-driven services, productivity tools, and digital entertainment experiences.
The senior leadership within the company is worried about the company’s ability to address all the opportunities around artificial intelligence. They feel that the business is at risk of falling behind its competitors and that significant changes are necessary for the business to remain competitive. Most senior leaders feel that operations need to be more efficient and that the organization needs to change to achieve its future goals.
The company has an established Enterprise Architecture program based on the TOGAF standard, sponsored jointly by the Chief Information Officer and senior executives. In your role as an Enterprise Architect within the Enterprise Architecture team, you work closely with the business stakeholders in the company as well as the sponsors.
The Chief Executive Officer has decided that reorganizing its subsidiaries around artificial intelligence and machine learning will improve the way the company creates and delivers value. The sponsors have approved a project for the reorganization, which is being led by the Enterprise Architecture team.
The Enterprise Architecture team has developed a strategic architecture that has been approved by the sponsors. It includes an Architecture Vision and high-level definitions of the domain architectures. This sets out a plan over a multi-year period and covers three distinct transformations to implement the reorganization.
The sponsors have read reports that the majority of transformation projects dealing with digital and artificial intelligence are failing. They have made it clear that, prior to approval of the detailed Implementation and Migration Plan, the Enterprise Architecture team needs to address the risks associated with the reorganization. They want assurance that the reorganization will succeed and deliver the promised increases in value for the business.

You are employed as an Enterprise Architect working within the Enterprise Architecture team at an electric vehicle manufacturer. The company focuses on designing, manufacturing, and advancing battery technology for sustainable transportation. The goal of the company is to build the best technology and software platform to support self-driving cars.
An architecture to support strategy has been completed, defining a long-term Target Architecture with a roadmap over five years. This has identified the need for a portfolio of projects over the next two years. The portfolio includes development of an advanced driver assistance system using data gathered from multiple vehicles on the road.
The design of the presentation and accessibility of different types of data that the company plans to offer through its platform is challenging. It is important for the application portfolio to work securely with third-party cloud services and V2X Vehicle-to-Everything service providers across many countries in order to effectively manage large amounts of data. Stakeholders are particularly concerned about the security of V2X. Regulations in various markets mandate that user privacy must always be safeguarded to prevent tracking and compiling of data that could reveal the drivers’ journeys.
The company follows the TOGAF standard as the basis for its Enterprise Architecture practice and uses the purpose-based EA Capability model as described in the TOGAF Series Guide: A Practitioners’ Approach to Developing Enterprise Architecture Following the TOGAF ADM . The EA team reports to the Chief Information Officer, who is the sponsor of the EA program.
You have been assigned to lead the architecture development effort for the driver assistance system. A security resource plan and a vision for a security-specific architecture design have been completed. You have a meeting with the EA team leader to talk about the progress of your work.
Refer to the scenario.
You have been asked how you will address risk and security at this stage of the architecture project.

You have been assigned the role of Lead Enterprise Architect within a leading
professional services company that specializes in providing outsourcing services.
Outsourcing services include business processes, infrastructure, and service

The company has an established Enterprise Architecture program based on the TOGAF
standard, sponsored jointly by the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Information Officer.

budget and under delivered, thereby damaging its reputation.
The Enterprise Architecture (EA) team has been working with the Strategic Planning
team to create a strategic Enterprise Architecture to address these issues. The EA team
has held workshops with key stakeholders to define a set of architecture principles to
govern the architecture work. They have completed an Architecture Vision at a strategic
level and laid out high-level Architecture Definitions for the four domains. They have set
out an ambitious vision of the future of the company over a five-year period. This will
include three distinct transformations.
The CIO has made it clear that prior to the approval of the detailed Implementation and
Migration plan, the EA team will need to assess the risks associated with the proposed
architecture. He has received concerns from some of the senior management across the
company that the proposed architecture may be too ambitious and they are not sure it
can produce sufficient value to warrant the risks.
