• Question 61:

  Which statement best describes iteration and the ADM?

  A. The ADM is iterative within the first cycle and then between phases

  B. The level of detail is defined once and applies to all iterations

  C. The ADM is sequential Iteration is applied within phases

  D. The ADM is iterative, over the whole process between phases and within phases

  Correct Answer: D

  Explanation: This statement best describes iteration and the ADM. The ADM is iterative over the whole process between phases and within phases because it allows for feedback loops and refinements at any point in the architecture development and transition process. Iteration enables architects to address changing requirements, assumptions, constraints, and environments; to validate and improve architectures; to manage risks and issues; and to ensure stakeholder satisfaction and value realization.

• Question 62:

  Which of the following statements about architecture partitioning are correct*?

  1 Partitions are used to simplify the management of the Enterprise Architecture

  2 Partitions are equivalent to architecture levels

  3 Partitions enable different teams to work on different element of the architecture at the same time.

  4 Partitions reflect the organization's structure

  A. 2 and 3

  B. 1 and 3

  C. 1 and 4

  D. 2 and 4

  Correct Answer: B

  Explanation: Statements 1 and 3 about architecture partitioning are correct. Architecture partitioning is the technique of dividing an architecture into smaller and more manageable parts that can be developed, maintained, and governed independently. Partitions are used to simplify the management of the Enterprise Architecture and to enable different teams to work on different elements of the architecture at the same time. Partitions are not equivalent to architecture levels, which are different degrees of abstraction or detail in an architecture. Partitions do not necessarily reflect the organization's structure, which may change over time or differ from the architecture's scope and boundaries. Reference: The TOGAF Standard | The Open Group Website, Section 2.5 Architecture Partitioning.

• Question 63:

  Which of the following best describes purpose of the Business Scenarios?

  A. To identify risk when implementing an architecture project

  B. To identify and understand requirements

  C. To catch errors in a project architecture early

  D. To guide decision making throughout the enterprise

  Correct Answer: B

  Explanation: Business scenarios are a technique for capturing, clarifying, and communicating the functional and non-functional requirements of a system. Business scenarios describe the business environment, the actors involved, the desired outcomes, and the processes or rules that govern the behavior of the system. Business scenarios are useful for ensuring that the architecture addresses the real needs and concerns of the stakeholders, and for validating and testing the architecture against expected situations. Business scenarios are developed in Phase A: Architecture Vision of the ADM cycle, and refined and updated throughout the other phases3 References: 3: The TOGAF Standard, Version 9.2, Part

• Question 64:

  Exhibit Consider the illustration showing an architecture development cycle Which description matches the phase of the ADM labeled as item 1?

  

  A. Conducts implementation planning for the architecture defined in previous phases

  B. Provides architectural oversight for the implementation

  C. Operates the process of managing architecture requirements

  D. Establishes procedures for managing change to the new architecture

  Correct Answer: A

  Explanation: The phase of the ADM labeled as item 1 is Phase F: Migration Planning. This phase conducts implementation planning for the architecture defined in previous phases by creating an Architecture Roadmap and a detailed Implementation and Migration Plan. This phase also identifies and groups major work packages, transition architectures, projects, and dependencies. References: https://pubs.opengroup.org/architecture/togaf9- doc/arch/chap19.html

  Correct Answer: C

  Phase A: Architecture Vision oDevelop a high-level aspirational vision of the capabilities and business value to be delivered as a result of the proposed Enterprise Architecture oDefine the scope and boundaries of the architecture engagement oIdentify the key stakeholders and their concerns and expectations oDefine the Architecture Vision statement and the Architecture Definition Document oObtain approval and commitment from the sponsors and stakeholders Phase B: Business Architecture oDevelop the Target Business Architecture that describes how the enterprise needs to operate to achieve the business goals oDefine the Baseline Business Architecture, if not available oPerform a gap analysis between the Baseline and Target Business Architectures oDefine candidate roadmap components for the Business Architecture oResolve impacts across the Architecture Landscape

  Phase C: Information Systems Architecture oDevelop the Target Data Architecture that enables the Business Architecture and the Architecture Vision oDevelop the Target Application Architecture that supports the Business Architecture and the Architecture Vision oDefine the Baseline Data and Application Architectures, if not available oPerform a gap analysis between the Baseline and Target Data and Application Architectures oDefine candidate roadmap components for the Information Systems Architecture oResolve impacts across the Architecture Landscape Phase D: Technology Architecture oDevelop the Target Technology Architecture that enables the Information Systems Architecture and the Architecture Vision oDefine the Baseline Technology Architecture, if not available oPerform a gap analysis between the Baseline and Target Technology Architectures oIdentify candidate Architecture Roadmap components based upon gaps between the Baseline and Target Technology Architectures oResolve impacts across the Architecture Landscape Therefore, the correct matching of the objectives and the phases is:

  C: Develop the Target Data Architecture that enables the Business Architecture and the Architecture Vision

  B: Develop the Target Business Architecture that describes how the enterprise needs to operate to achieve the business goals

  A: Develop a high-level aspirational vision of the capabilities and business value to be delivered as a result of the proposed Enterprise Architecture

• Question 66:

  Which section of the TOGAF template for Architecture Principles should highlight the requirements for carrying out the principle?

  A. Rationale

  B. Name

  C. Statement

  D. Implications

  Correct Answer: D

  The Implications section describes the impact of adhering to the principle on the organization, the processes, the information systems, and the technology23. It also identifies the changes, costs, and risks that may result from applying the

  principle23. The Implications section helps to communicate the benefits and consequences of the principle to the stakeholders and to guide the implementation and governance of the architecture23. The other sections of the TOGAF template

  for Architecture Principles are1:

  Name: This section provides a short and memorable name for the principle that represents its essence and purpose23. The name should not mention any specific technology or solution23.

  Statement: This section provides a concise and formal definition of the principle that expresses the fundamental rule or constraint that the principle imposes23. The statement should be clear, unambiguous, and testable23.

  Rationale: This section provides the reasoning and justification for the principle, explaining why it is important and how it supports the business goals and drivers23. The rationale should also link the principle to the higher-level enterprise or IT

  principles that it elaborates on23.

  In which part of the ADM cycle do building block gaps become associated with work packages that will address the gaps?

  A. Phases G and H

  B. Phases F

  C. Phases B C and D

  D. Phase E

  Correct Answer: D

  Explanation: In Phase E of the ADM cycle, building block gaps become associated with work packages that will address the gaps.
