  Complete the sentence The Architecture Landscape is divided into levels known as__________________________.

  A. Gaps Plateaus, and Target Architectures

  B. Baseline. Transition and To Be Architectures

  C. Segment Strategic and Capability Architectures

  D. Transitional Complete and incremental Architectures

  Correct Answer: C

  Explanation: The Architecture Landscape is divided into levels known as Segment Strategic and Capability Architectures. These levels correspond to different scopes and purposes of architectures within an enterprise. Segment Architectures are architectures that address specific business units, functions, or processes within an enterprise. Strategic Architectures are architectures that provide a high-level view of the enterprise's vision, goals, and direction. Capability Architectures are architectures that address specific business capabilities or services that span multiple segments or domains. Reference: The TOGAF Standard | The Open Group Website, Section 2.4 Architecture Repository.

• Question 22:

  The_________________ensures that a project transitioning into implementation also smoothly transitions into appropriate Architecture Governance.

  A. Migration Plan

  B. Transition Plan

  C. Implementation Governance Model

  D. Implementation Strategy

  Correct Answer: C

  Explanation: The Implementation Governance Model is a framework that defines the roles, responsibilities, processes, and standards for governing the implementation of the target architecture. It ensures that a project transitioning into implementation also smoothly transitions into appropriate Architecture Governance, which is the practice of ensuring compliance with the enterprise architecture and its principles, standards, and goals. The Implementation Governance Model is part of the Implementation and Migration Plan, which is the output of Phase F: Migration Planning of the Architecture Development Method (ADM)12 References: 1: The TOGAF Standard, Version 9.2, Part II: Architecture Development Method (ADM), Chapter 21: Phase F: Migration Planning 2: The TOGAF Standard, Version 9.2, Part VI: Architecture Capability Framework, Chapter 50: Architecture Governance

  Correct Answer: A

  Explanation: Enterprises are examples of the scope of an architecture according to the TOGAF Standard. An enterprise is defined as any collection of organizations that has a common set of goals and/or a single bottom line. Enterprises can be whole corporations or divisions of a corporation, government agencies or single government departments, partnerships and alliances of businesses working together, etc. Reference: The TOGAF Standard | The Open Group Website, Section 2.1 Core Concepts.

• Question 24:

  Consider the following statement.

  Projects may cycle between ADM phases, in planned cycles covering multiple phases.

  What does it illustrate?

  A. Requirements management

  B. Iteration

  C. Implementation governance

  D. Enterprise Architecture

  Correct Answer: B

  Explanation: The statement "Projects may cycle between ADM phases, in planned cycles covering multiple phases" illustrates the concept of iteration, which is the process of repeating the ADM phases or steps within a phase to refine the architecture outputs and address the changing requirements and stakeholder concerns. Iteration can occur at different levels of granularity and scope, such as within a single phase, across multiple phases, or across the entire ADM cycle. Iteration can also be applied to different architecture domains, such as business, data, application, and technology. Iteration is a key feature of the ADM that enables the development of architectures that are fit for purpose, adaptable, and responsive to change.

• Question 25:

  What is defined as the effect of uncertainty on objectives?

  A. Vulnerability

  B. Risk

  C. Continuity

  D. Threat

  Correct Answer: B

  Explanation: Risk is defined as the effect of uncertainty on objectives, according to the ISO 31000 standard, which provides principles and guidelines for risk management1 Risk can be positive or negative, depending on whether the uncertainty affects the achievement or the failure of the objectives. Risk can also be expressed in terms of likelihood and impact, which indicate the probability and the consequence of the risk occurrence. Risk management is the coordinated activities to direct and control an organization with regard to risk. Risk management is an integral part of the TOGAF standard, as it helps to identify, assess, and treat the risks that may affect the architecture development and implementation2 References: 1: ISO 31000:2018, Risk management -- Guidelines, Clause 3.1 2: The TOGAF Standard, Version 9.2, Part III: ADM Guidelines and Techniques, Chapter 32: Risk Management

• Question 26:

  Which one of the following classes of information within the Architecture Repository would typically contain a list of the applications in use within the enterprise?

  A. Reference Library

  B. Architecture Metamodel

  C. Architecture Landscape

  D. Governance Log

  Correct Answer: C

  Explanation: The Architecture Landscape is a class of information within the Architecture Repository that shows an architectural view of the building blocks that are in use within the organization today (the Baseline Architecture), as well as those that are planned for the future (the Target Architecture). The Architecture Landscape typically contains a list of the applications in use within the enterprise, along with their relationships and dependencies, as well as other relevant architectural information. The Architecture Landscape helps to identify opportunities for re-use, consolidation, or retirement of existing applications, as well as gaps or overlaps in the current or future architecture.References: : The TOGAF Standard, Version 9.2, Part IV: Architecture Content Framework, Chapter 34: Architecture Landscape : The TOGAF Standard, Version 9.2, Part VI: Architecture Capability Framework, Chapter 47: Architecture Repository

• Question 27:

  Which section of the TOGAF template for Architecture Principles should describe the relationship to other principles?

  A. Name

  B. Rationale

  C. Statement

  D. Implications

  Correct Answer: D

  Explanation: The implications section of the TOGAF template for Architecture Principles should describe the relationship to other principles. Implications are statements that describe how a principle will impact other principles, as well as other aspects of the enterprise such as business processes, organizational structures, roles and responsibilities, standards, etc. Implications help to identify potential conflicts or synergies among principles and to assess their feasibility and applicability. Reference: The TOGAF Standard | The Open Group Website, Section 3.3.7 Architecture Principles.

• Question 28:

  What is an objective of the ADM Preliminary Phase?

  A. To develop a vision of the business value to be delivered by the proposed enterprise architecture

  B. To select and implement tools to support the Architecture Capability

  C. To obtain approval for the Statement of Architecture Work

  D. To create the initial version of the Architecture Roadmap

  Correct Answer: B

  Explanation: The Preliminary Phase is the preparatory phase of the Architecture Development Method (ADM) cycle, which sets the context and direction for the architecture work. One of the objectives of this phase is to select and implement tools to support the Architecture Capability, which is the ability of an organization to perform enterprise architecture effectively and efficiently. Tools can include software applications, methods, techniques, standards, and frameworks that assist the architecture development and governance processes. The selection and implementation of tools should be based on the requirements and constraints of the organization, and the alignment with the Architecture Principles and the Architecture Vision3 References: 3: The TOGAF Standard, Version 9.2, Part II: Architecture Development Method (ADM), Chapter 6: Preliminary Phase : The TOGAF Standard, Version 9.2, Part VI: Architecture Capability Framework, Chapter 45: Establishing and Maintaining an Enterprise Architecture Capability : The TOGAF Standard, Version 9.2, Part VI: Architecture Capability Framework, Chapter 46: Tools for Architecture Development
