NEW QUESTION 3

Scenario:
Please read this scenario prior to answering the question
The ABC company specializes in the development of wind turbine blades for use in large-scale commercial wind energy production systems. The company has manufacturing facilities located in Palm Springs, California, Omaha, Nebraska, and Winnipeg, Manitoba. Each of these plants supplies a different manufacturer that builds and sells complete systems. The turbine blades are custom engineered to meet each manufacturer's design specifications.
Until recently, most turbine blades were fabricated manually using molded fiber-reinforced plastics. However, recent improvements in composite materials, coupled with enhanced automated methods for precision application of materials during the molding process, have led to significant reduction in weight, increase in strength, and greatly improved blade longevity. The company has pioneered the development of a proprietary automated process for continuous extrusion of the turbine blades. Patents have been filed to protect the process, but certain trade secrets must be closely guarded.
The company has a mature Enterprise Architecture organization that is supported by a cross-functional Architecture Review Board. The Chief Information Officer and the Chief Operating Officer co-sponsor the Enterprise Architecture program.
The company has used T0GAF and its Architecture Development Method (ADM) to develop its automated manufacturing processes and systems that are used to design, manufacture, and test the blade assemblies. They have adapted their Enterprise Architecture to closely follow the TOGAF 9 framework. All of the company's enterprise architects have been trained and certified on TOGAF 9. Recently, an architecture project was completed that defined a standard approach for controlling the Automated Test System that is used at each plant to perform final quality assurance tests on each completed blade assembly. The Manufacturing Architecture Board approved the plan for immediate implementation at each plant.
An Architecture Contract was developed that detailed the work needed to implement and deploy the new Automated Test System controller. The Chief Engineer, sponsor of the activity, has expressed concern that a uniform process be employed at each site to ensure consistency.
Refer to the Scenario
You are the Lead Architect for this activity.
You have been asked to recommend the best approach to adopt to address the Chief Engineer's concern. Based on TOGAF 9, which of the following is the best answer?

• A. You create an Architecture Contract to manage and govern the implementation and migration proces
• B. If the contract is issued to an external party, you ensure that it is a fully enforceable legal contrac
• C. For internal development projects, you decide it is adequate to utilize a memorandum of understanding between the Manufacturing Architecture Board and the implementation organization.You recommend that if a deviation from the contract is detected, the Manufacturing Architecture Board should modify the Architecture Contract to allow the implementation organization the ability to customize the process to meet their local need
• D. As a result, you then issue a new Request for Architecture Work to implement the modified Architecture Definition.
• E. You create an Architecture Contract to manage and govern the implementation and migration proces
• F. If the contract is issued to an external party, you ensure that it is a fully enforceable legal contrac
• G. For internal development projects, you decide it is adequate to utilize a memorandum of understanding between the Manufacturing Architecture Board and the implementation organization.You recommend that if a deviation from the Architecture Contract is detected, the Manufacturing Architecture Board grant a dispensation ID allow the implementation organization the ability to customize the process to meet their local needs.
• H. You create an Architecture Contract to manage and govern the implementation and migration proces
• I. If the contract is issued to an external party, you ensure that it is a fully enforceable legal contrac
• J. For internal development projects, you decide it is adequate to utilize a memorandum of understanding between the Manufacturing Architecture Board and the implementation organization.You ensure that the Manufacturing 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.
• K. You create an Architecture Contract to govern the implementation and migration process at each sit
• L. If the contract is issued to an external party, you ensure that it is a fully enforceable legal contrac
• M. You ensure that the contract addresses the project objectives, effectiveness metrics, acceptance criteria, and risk managemen
• N. You then schedule compliance reviews at key points in the implementation process to ensure that the work is proceeding in accordance with the Architecture Definitio
• O. Based on the results, you ensure that the Manufacturing 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.

Answer: D

Explanation:
Incorrect:
Not C: correct, but missing contract see 49.2.2.. Note:
* Dispensations
A dispensation is used as the mechanism to request a change to the existing architectures, contracts, principles, etc. outside of normal operating parameters; e.g., exclude provision of service to a subsidiary, request for unusual service levels for specific business reasons, deploy non-standard technology or products to support specific business initiatives.
Dispensations are granted for a given time period and set of identified services and operational criteria that must be enforced during the lifespan of the dispensation. Dispensations are not granted indefinitely, but are used as a mechanism to ensure that service levels and operational levels, etc. are met while providing a level flexibility in their implementation and timing. The timebound nature of dispensations ensures that they are a trigger to the Architecture Compliance activity.
