• Question 32:

  Complete the following sentence:

  Presenting different_________and_________to stakeholders helps architects to extract hidden agendas principles and requirements that could impact the final Target

  A. Alternatives Trade-offs

  B. Solutions Applications

  C. Architecture Views Architecture Viewpoints

  D. Business Scenarios Business Models

  Correct Answer: A

  Explanation: Presenting different alternatives and trade-offs to stakeholders helps architects to extract hidden agendas principles and requirements that could impact the final Target Architecture. Alternatives are different ways of achieving a desired outcome, while trade-offs are compromises or sacrifices that must be made to choose one alternative over another. Reference: The TOGAF Standard | The Open Group Website, Section 3.3.1 Business Scenarios.

• Question 33:

  Which of the following statements about architecture partitioning is correct?

  A. Partitions are used to simplify the management of the Enterprise Architecture.

  B. Partitions are equivalent to architecture levels.

  C. Partitions reflect the organization's structure.

  D. Partitions are defined and assigned to agile Enterprise Architecture teams.

  Correct Answer: A

  Explanation: Based on the web search results, architecture partitioning is a technique that divides the Enterprise Architecture into smaller and manageable segments or groups, based on various classification criteria, such as subject matter,

  time, maturity, volatility, etc.12 Architecture partitioning is used to simplify the development and management of the Enterprise Architecture, by reducing complexity, improving governance, enhancing reusability, and increasing alignment and

  agility12. Therefore, the statement that partitions are used to simplify the management of the Enterprise Architecture is correct.

  The other statements are incorrect because:

  Partitions are not equivalent to architecture levels. Architecture levels are different layers of abstraction that describe the Enterprise Architecture from different perspectives, such as strategic, segment, and capability3. Partitions are subsets of

  architectures that are defined within or across the levels, based on specific criteria1.

  Partitions do not necessarily reflect the organization's structure. The organization's structure is one possible criterion for partitioning the architecture, but it is not the only one. Other criteria, such as business function, product, service,

  geography, etc., can also be used to partition the architecture12.

  Partitions are not defined and assigned to agile Enterprise Architecture teams. Agile Enterprise Architecture is an approach that applies agile principles and practices to the architecture work, such as iterative development, frequent feedback,

  adaptive planning, and continuous delivery4. Partitions are not a specific feature of agile Enterprise Architecture, but a general technique that can be applied to any architecture method or framework, including TOGAF12.

• Question 34:

  Consider the following descriptions of deliverables consumed and produced across the TOGAF ADM cycle.

  

  Which deliverables match these descriptions?

  A. 1 Architecture Requirements Specification - 2 Request for Architecture Work - 3 Statement of Architecture Work - 4 Architecture Principles

  B. 1 Statement of Architecture Work - 2 Architecture Principles - 3 Architecture Requirements Specification - 4 Request for Architecture Work

  C. 1 Architecture Principles - 2 Architecture Requirements Specification - 3 Request for Architecture Work - 4 Statement of Architecture Work

  D. 1 Request for Architecture Work - 2 Statement of Architecture Work - 3 Architecture Principles - 4 Architecture Requirements Specification

  Correct Answer: D

  Explanation: The Request for Architecture Work is a deliverable that is sent from the sponsor and triggers the start of an architecture development cycle. It defines the scope, budget, schedule, and deliverables for a specific architecture project. The Statement of Architecture Work is a deliverable that is produced by the architect and defines the approach and resources needed to complete an architecture project. It forms the basis of a contractual agreement between the sponsor and the architecture organization. The Architecture Principles are a deliverable that is produced by the architect and defines the general rules and guidelines for the architecture work. They reflect the business principles, business goals, and business drivers of the organization. The Architecture Requirements Specification is a deliverable that is produced by the architect and defines the requirements that govern the architecture work. It covers both functional and nonfunctional requirements as well as constraints and assumptions.

• Question 35:

  Consider the following statement:

  Separate projects may operate their own ADM cycles concurrently, with relationships between the different projects

  What does it illustrate?

  A. Implementation governance

  B. Enterprise Architecture

  C. Iteration

  D. Requirements management

  Correct Answer: C

  Explanation: The statement illustrates iteration and the ADM. Iteration is the technique of repeating a process or a phase with the aim of improving or refining the outcome. Iteration allows for feedback loops and adaptations at any point in the architecture development and transition process. Separate projects may operate their own ADM cycles concurrently, with relationships between the different projects, to address different aspects or levels of the architecture in an iterative manner. Reference: The TOGAF Standard | The Open Group Website, Section 3.1 Introduction to the ADM.

• Question 36:

  What is used to structure architectural information in an orderly way so that it can be processed to meet stakeholder needs?

  A. A Stakeholder Map

  B. An Architecture Framework

  C. A Content Metamodel

  D. An EA Library

  Correct Answer: C

• Question 37:

  Complete the following sentence. In the ADM documents which are under development and have not undergone any formal review and approval process are_______________.

  A. called “draft1”

  B. Invalid

  C. In between phases

  D. Known as `'Version 0.1''

  Correct Answer: A

  Explanation: In the ADM documents which are under development and have not undergone any formal review and approval process are called "draft". This indicates that they are subject to change and refinement as the architecture development progresses. Reference: The TOGAF Standard | The Open Group Website, Section 4.2.5 Architecture Deliverables.

• Question 38:

  What are the following activities part or?

  Initial risk assessment Risk mitigation and residual risk assessment Risk monitoring

  A. Risk Management

  B. Phase A

  C. Security Architecture

  D. Phase C

  Correct Answer: A

  Explanation: The following activities are part of Risk Management: Initial risk assessment Risk mitigation and residual risk assessment Risk monitoring Risk Management is the process of identifying, assessing, and responding to risks that may affect the achievement of the enterprise's objectives. Risk Management involves balancing positive and negative outcomes resulting from the realization of either opportunities or threats. Reference: The TOGAF Standard | The Open Group Website, Section 3.3.3 Risk Management.

• Question 39:

  Consider the following chart:

  

  Which important concept for Enterprise Architecture Practitioners does it illustrate?

  A. Enterprise Architects must use Gantt charts to communicate with Stakeholders.

  B. An Enterprise Architecture must be developed in phases with a limited fixed duration.

  C. ADM phases must be run in a sequenced approach to produce the Architecture.

  D. ADM phases must be run simultaneously until the relevant information has been produced.

  Correct Answer: C

• Question 40:

  Which of the following supports the need to govern Enterprise Architecture?

  A. The Architecture Project mandates the governance of the target architecture

  B. The TOGAF standard cannot be used without executive governance

  C. Best practice governance enables the organization to control value realization

  D. The Stakeholders preferences may go beyond the architecture project scope and needs control

  Correct Answer: C

  Explanation: This statement best supports the need to govern Enterprise Architecture. Best practice governance enables the organization to control value realization by ensuring that architectures are aligned with the enterprise's strategy and objectives, meet the quality and performance requirements, and deliver the expected benefits and outcomes. The Architecture Project does not mandate the governance of the target architecture, but rather follows the governance framework established by the enterprise. The TOGAF standard can be used without executive governance, but it is recommended that executive sponsorship and support are obtained for successful architecture development and transition. The Stakeholders preferences may go beyond the architecture project scope and need control, but this is not the primary reason for governing Enterprise Architecture.
