• Question 41:

  Which of the following best describes a purpose of the Gap Analysis technique?

  A. To validate non-functional requirements

  B. To establish quality metrics for the architecture

  C. To determine service levels for the architecture

  D. To identify missing functions

  Correct Answer: D

  Explanation: Gap analysis is a technique that is used to validate an architecture by highlighting the shortfall between the Baseline Architecture and the Target Architecture. One of the purposes of gap analysis is to identify missing functions that are either deliberately omitted, accidentally left out, or not yet defined in the Target Architecture. Missing functions are marked as gaps that need to be filled by developing or procuring the building blocks.

• Question 42:

  Consider the following statements:

  1.

  Each contracted party is required to act responsibly to the organization and its stakeholders.

  2.

  All decisions taken, processes used, and their implementation will not be allowed to create unfair advantage to any one particular party.

  3.

  Digital Transformation and operations will be more effective and efficient.

  4.

  Strategic decision-making by C-Level executives and business leaders will be more effective.

  Which statements highlight the value and necessity for Architecture Governance to be adopted within organizations?

  A. 1 and 2

  B. 2 and 3

  C. 3 and 4

  D. 1 and 4

  Correct Answer: A

  Explanation: Architecture governance is the practice of ensuring compliance with the enterprise architecture and its principles, standards, and goals. Architecture governance provides the means to establish, monitor, and control the architecture development and implementation processes, and to resolve any issues or conflicts that may arise. Architecture governance also ensures that all stakeholders are represented and involved in the decision-making process, and that their interests and concerns are balanced and aligned. Statements 1 and 2 highlight the value and necessity for architecture governance to be adopted within organizations, as they emphasize the importance of responsibility, accountability, fairness, and transparency in the architectural activities. Statements 3 and 4 are more related to the benefits and outcomes of having a good enterprise architecture, rather than the governance aspect.References: : The TOGAF Standard, Version 9.2, Part VI: Architecture Capability Framework, Chapter 50: Architecture Governance : The TOGAF Standard, Version 9.2, Part III: ADM Guidelines and Techniques, Chapter 29: Architecture Governance

  3.4.2 Architecture Views and Architecture Viewpoints in Enterprise Architecture

  Now let us map this example to the Enterprise Architecture. Consider two stakeholders in a new small computing system: the users and the developers.

  The users of the system have an architecture viewpoint that reflects their concerns when interacting with the system, and the developers of the system have a different architecture viewpoint. Architecture views that are developed to address

  either of the two architecture viewpoints are unlikely to exhaustively describe the whole system, because each perspective reduces how each sees the system.

• Question 45:

  Which of the following are interests important to the stakeholders in a system?

  A. Requirements

  B. Principles

  C. Concerns

  D. Architecture views

  Correct Answer: C

  Explanation: Concerns are interests important to the stakeholders in a system. They are used to identify and classify the system's stakeholders and to guide the selection of viewpoints for the architecture description.

• Question 46:

  Complete the sentence The purpose of Enterprise Architecture is to_______________.

  A. take major improvement decisions

  B. control the bigger changes

  C. guide effective change

  D. govern the stakeholders

  Correct Answer: C

  Explanation: The purpose of Enterprise Architecture is to guide effective change by providing a coherent and consistent view of the enterprise's current and future state, as well as the roadmap and principles for achieving it. Enterprise Architecture helps to align business and IT strategies, optimize resources and investments, reduce complexity and risks, enhance agility and innovation, and deliver value to stakeholders. Reference: The TOGAF Standard | The Open Group Website, Section 1.3 Executive Overview.

• Question 47:

  Consider the following ADM phases objectives.

  

  Which phase does each objective match?

  A. 1F-2G-3G-4H

  B. 1H-2F-3F-4G

  C. 1F-2G-3H-4H

  D. 1G-2H-3H-4F

  Correct Answer: A

  Explanation: 1F: To define an Implementation and Migration Strategy that will achieve an orderly transition from the Baseline to Target Architectures 2G: To perform appropriate governance functions while the solution is being implemented 3G: To ensure conformance with the Target Architecture by implementation projects 4H: To establish procedures for continual monitoring and assessment of the performance of the solution in operation Reference: The TOGAF Standard | The Open Group Website, Section 3.2 ADM Phases.

• Question 48:

  Which statement about Requirements Management is most correct?

  A. The purpose of Requirements Management is to process change requests

  B. Stakeholder requirements are captured once in Phase A and managed throughout the ADM cycle

  C. Requirements Management is a step of all ADM Phases

  D. Requirements Management and stakeholder engagement are placed at the center of architecture development

  Correct Answer: D

  Explanation: This statement about Requirements Management is most correct because it reflects the central role of Requirements Management and stakeholder engagement in the ADM cycle. Requirements Management is not a step of all ADM Phases, but rather an ongoing process that ensures that all relevant requirements are elicited, analyzed, prioritized, and addressed throughout the architecture development and transition. Stakeholder engagement is also a continuous activity that involves identifying, communicating, and managing stakeholder expectations and concerns. Reference: The TOGAF Standard | The Open Group Website, Section 3.1 Introduction to the ADM.

• Question 49:

  In which phase of the ADM cycle do building blocks become implementation-specific?

  A. Phase B

  B. Phase C

  C. Phase D

  D. Phase E

  Correct Answer: D

  Explanation: Building blocks are reusable components of business, IT, or architectural capability that can be combined to deliver architectures and solutions. Building blocks can be defined at various levels of detail, depending on the stage of architecture development. In the earlier phases of the ADM cycle (A to D), building blocks are defined in generic terms, such as logical or physical, to provide a high-level view of the architecture. In Phase

  E: Opportunities and Solutions, building blocks become implementation-specific, meaning that they are linked to specific products, standards, technologies, and vendors that are available in the market. This phase also identifies the delivery vehicles, such as projects, programs, or portfolios, that will realize the building blocks12 References: 1: The TOGAF Standard, Version 9.2, Part II: Architecture Development Method (ADM), Chapter 23: Phase E: Opportunities and Solutions 2: The TOGAF Standard, Version 9.2, Part IV: Architecture Content Framework, Chapter 36: Building Blocks

• Question 50:

  Complete the sentence A set of architecture principles that cover every situation perceived meets the recommended criteria of_______________

  A. consistency

  B. robustness

  C. stability

  D. completeness

  Correct Answer: D

  Explanation: A set of architecture principles that cover every situation perceived meets the recommended criteria of completeness. Completeness is one of the six criteria that should be applied when developing or assessing architecture principles. Completeness means that there are no gaps or overlaps in the coverage of principles across all relevant aspects of the enterprise's architecture.
