Complete the sentence A set of architecture principles that cover every situation perceived meets the recommended criteria of_______________
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. Reference: The TOGAF Standard | The Open Group Website, Section 3.3.7 Architecture Principles.
Question 102
What can architects present to stakeholders to extract hidden agendas, principles, and requirements that could impact the final Target Architecture?
Correct Answer: D
According to the TOGAF standard, architecture views and architecture viewpoints are the tools that architects can use to present the architecture to different stakeholders and address their concerns1. * An architecture view is a representation of a system from the perspective of a related set of concerns1. It is intended to communicate the architecture to a specific audience and to illustrate how the stakeholder's interests are being met1. * An architecture viewpoint is a specification of the conventions and rules for constructing and using an architecture view for a particular purpose1. It defines the content, structure, format, and techniques to be used in the view1. By using architecture views and viewpoints, architects can tailor the presentation of the architecture to suit the needs and expectations of different stakeholders1. They can also elicit feedback from the stakeholders and discover any hidden agendas, principles, or requirements that could impact the final target architecture2. For example, a business scenario is a technique that can be used to create a business view of the architecture and capture the business requirements and drivers3. A business model is another technique that can be used to describe the value proposition, revenue streams, cost structure, and key resources of the business4.
Question 103
Consider the following chart: Which important concept for Enterprise Architecture Practitioners does it illustrate?
Correct Answer: C
The chart shown is a Gantt chart, which is commonly used for project management to illustrate a project schedule. In the context of TOGAF (The Open Group Architecture Framework), which is a framework for enterprise architecture, this Gantt chart is demonstrating the sequenced approach to the Architecture Development Method (ADM). The ADM is the core process of TOGAF which provides a tested and repeatable process for developing architectures. The ADM is described as being iterative, over the whole process, between phases, and within phases. For each iteration of the ADM, a fresh decision must be taken about each of the parameters (scope, granularity, time period, and architecture assets). The ADM consists of a number of phases that have to be followed in sequence: Preliminary Phase: Framework and principles Phase A: Architecture Vision Phase B: Business Architecture Phase C: Information Systems Architectures, including Data and Application Architectures Phase D: Technology Architecture Phase E: Opportunities and Solutions Phase F: Migration Planning Phase G: Implementation Governance Phase H: Architecture Change Management Requirements Management Each phase is dependent on the outputs of the previous phase and the Requirements Management phase runs throughout. The Gantt chart clearly shows the dependency and sequence in which these phases occur, implying that a structured approach is followed to produce the enterprise architecture.

Question 104
Which phase of the ADM has the purpose to develop an Enterprise Architecture Capability?
Correct Answer: B
According to the TOGAF Standard, 10th Edition, the Preliminary Phase of the Architecture Development Method (ADM) has the purpose to develop an Enterprise Architecture Capability 1. An Enterprise Architecture Capability is the ability of the organization to perform the activities and tasks related to Enterprise Architecture, such as defining the scope, principles, vision, governance, and stakeholders of the architecture. The Preliminary Phase also establishes the architecture framework, the architecture repository, the architecture tools, and the architecture team 1. The other options are not correct, as they have different purposes in the ADM. Phase G: Implementation Governance has the purpose to ensure that the implementation projects conform to the target architecture 2. Phase A: Architecture Vision has the purpose to define the scope, stakeholders, business drivers, and objectives of the architecture project 3. Phase B: Business Architecture has the purpose to describe the baseline and target business architecture, and to identify the gaps between them .

Question 105
What does the TOGAF ADM recommend for use in developing an Architecture Vision document?
Correct Answer: D
Business scenarios are a technique recommended by the TOGAF ADM for use in developing an Architecture Vision document12. Business scenarios are a means of capturing the business requirements and drivers, the processes and actors involved, and the desired outcomes and measures of success34. Business scenarios help to create a common vision and understanding among the stakeholders, and to identify and validate the architecture requirements . Business scenarios also provide a basis for analyzing the impact and value of the proposed architecture.
