Please read this scenario prior to answering the question You are the Lead Enterprise Architect at a major agribusiness company. The company's main annual harvest is lentils, a highly valued food grown worldwide. The lentil parasite, broomrape, has been an increasing concern for many years and is now becoming resistant to chemical controls. In addition, changes in climate favor the propagation and growth of the parasite. As a result, the parasite cannot realistically be exterminated, and it has become pandemic, with lentil yields falling globally. The CEO appreciates the seriousness of the situation and has set out a change in direction that is effectively a new business for the company. There are opportunities for new products, and new markets. The company will use the fields for another harvest and will cease to process third-party lentils. Thus, the target market will change, and the end-products will be different and more varied. This is a major decision and the CEO has stated a desire to repurpose rather than replace so as to manage the risks and limit the costs. The company has a mature Enterprise Architecture practice based in its headquarters and uses the TOGAF standard as the method and guiding framework. The practice has an established Architecture Capability, and uses iteration for architecture development. The CIO is the sponsor of the activity. The CIO has assigned the Enterprise Architecture team to this activity. At this stage there is no shared vision, or requirements. Refer to the scenario You have been asked to propose the best approach for architecture development to realize the CEO's change in direction for the company. Based on the TOGAF standard which of the following is the best answer?

Suggested answer: B

Explanation:

According to the TOGAF Standard, 10th Edition, architecture governance is ''the practice by which enterprise architectures and other architectures are managed and controlled at an enterprise-wide level'' 1. Architecture governance ensures that the architecture development and implementation are aligned with the strategic objectives, principles, standards, and requirements of the enterprise, and that they deliver the expected value and outcomes. Architecture governance also involves establishing and maintaining the architecture framework, repository, board, contracts, and compliance reviews 1. The other options are not correct, as they are not the term used by the TOGAF Standard to describe the practice by which the enterprise architecture is managed and controlled at an enterprise-wide level. Corporate governance is ''the system by which an organization is directed and controlled'' 2, and it covers aspects such as leadership, strategy, performance, accountability, and ethics. IT governance is ''the system by which the current and future use of IT is directed and controlled'' 2, and it covers aspects such as IT strategy, policies, standards, and services. Technology governance is ''the system by which the technology decisions and investments are directed and controlled'' 3, and it covers aspects such as technology selection, acquisition, deployment, and maintenance.
