Question 373 - OG0-093 discussion
Please read this scenario prior to answering the question
Your role is that of an Enterprise Architect In a company that develops wind turbines for use in wind farms. The company has multiple manufactunng facilities, in North America, Asia, and Europe. Each of these facilities supplies the power industry In Its region. Most of the facilities are wholly owned by the company, but those In Asia are jointly owned with local partners.
The company has a mature Enterprise Architecture practice supported by a cross-functional Architecture Board and uses the TOGAF standard.
The company recognizes that the long-term technical potential of wind energy can address the current global dependency on carbon fuels. In order to do so this will require wind turbines to be installed over large areas and in areas of higher wind resources. In particular offshore wind farms can contribute substantially more energy than land stationed turbines.
The research arm of the company has pioneered the development of an offshore wind turbine design, with an improved turbine blade and power system, that will produce up to 20% more energy. This new design is ready to go Into production.
As part of putting the new design into production, adjustments to the automated assembly processes need to be made. A pilot architecture project at a single location has defined an updated approach for controlling the automated systems used to perform final assembly and quality assurance. The Chief Engineer, sponsor of the activity, and the Architecture Board have approved the plan for immediate implementation at each plant.
Architecture Contracts have been developed that detail the wortc needed to implement and deploy the new automated system controller for each location. The Chief Engineer has expressed concern that a uniform process be employed at each location to ensure consistency and a low blade failure rate.
Refer to the Scenario
You have been asked to recommend the best approach to address the Chief Engineer's concern.
Based on the TOGAF Standard, Version 9.2. which of the following is the best answer?
You would review the Architecture Contract for each location, ensuring that it addresses the project objectives, effectiveness metrics, acceptance criteria, and risk management. Where applicable, you ensure that the contract is legally enforceable. You would schedule compliance reviews at key points in the assembly and quality assurance process to ensure that the work is proceeding in accordance with the Architecture Definition. All deviations from the contract should be reviewed by the Architecture Board, who would consider whether to grant a dispensation to allow the implementation organization to customize the process to meet their local needs.
You would create an Architecture Contract to manage and govern the implementation and migration process at each location. For wholly owned facilities, you issue a memorandum of understanding between the Architecture Board and the implementation organization. For facilities jointly owned by local partners, you would ensure that the contract is legally enforceable. You would then 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.
You would create an Architecture Contract to govern the update to the automated system controller at each location. For facilities managed by partners, you ensure that it is a fully enforceable legal contract, and you would schedule additional compliance reviews at key points in the assembly and quality assurance process. These additional reviews would be for an initial period until no deviations from the contract occur. 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.
You would use the Architecture Contracts to manage the architecture governance processes for the project across the locations. You would ensure that the quality of each completed turbine blade at each location is assessed, and any local change requirements identified, 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.
