A company has started to create an application network and is now planning to implement a Center for Enablement (C4E) organizational model. What key factor would lead the company to decide upon a federated rather than a centralized C4E?

AWhen there are a large number of existing common assets shared by development teams

BWhen various teams responsible for creating APIs are new to integration and hence need extensive training

CWhen development is already organized into several independent initiatives or groups

DWhen the majority of the applications in the application network are cloud based

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: C

Correct Answer : When development is already organized into several independent initiatives or groups

*****************************************

>> It would require lot of process effort in an organization to have a single C4E team coordinating with multiple already organized development teams which are into several independent initiatives. A single C4E works well with different teams having at least a common initiative. So, in this scenario, federated C4E works well instead of centralized C4E.

Wait, so a federated model is better when teams are already split? That's surprising!

Not sure about D, cloud apps don't always mean federated is better.

I think A is a strong reason too, shared assets can really help.

I’m uncertain, but I think the cloud-based applications might not directly influence the C4E structure as much as team organization does.

I definitely recall discussing how a federated approach suits organizations with multiple initiatives, so I’d lean towards option C.

I remember a practice question about the importance of existing assets, but I feel like that might lean more towards a centralized model instead.

I think a federated C4E might be better when teams are already working independently, but I'm not entirely sure if that's the main reason.

I'm a little confused by the terminology here. What exactly is a "Center for Enablement" and how does that relate to a federated vs. centralized organizational model? I'll need to do some quick research on those concepts before I can confidently answer this question.

Okay, I've got this. The question is asking what key factor would lead a company to choose a federated C4E over a centralized one. Based on the options, it seems like if the company already has a lot of existing common assets shared by the teams, that would be a good reason to go with a federated approach.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. Is it asking about the factors that would lead a company to choose a federated C4E over a centralized one? I'll need to think through the differences between those two models to determine the best answer.

This seems like a straightforward question about organizational models for a Center for Enablement. I think the key factor would be if the company already has independent development teams or initiatives, which would suggest a federated model rather than a centralized one.

I'm a little confused on the difference between a view and a viewpoint in TOGAF. Is a view the actual representation, and a viewpoint is the perspective it's from? I'll have to double-check that in the material.

Hold up, did someone say 'cloud-based applications'? That's the real key factor here! Option D is the way to go, trust me, I'm a certified cloud-whisperer.

Hmm, interesting. I was leaning towards option A, as sharing common assets across teams is a key driver for a federated approach. But I can see the logic in C as well.
