TOGAF 20

When applying a cycle of the ADM with the Architecture Vision to establish an Architecture Capability, which phase does TOGAF Part VII recommend defines the structure of the organization’s Architecture Repository?

Data Architecture

Preliminary Phase

Application Architecture

Business Architecture

Technology Architecture

Which of the following statements about Requirements Management phase is correct?

Prioritizing requirement is an activity of this phase

It does not dispose of, address, or prioritize any requirements; this is done within the relevant phase of the ADM

This phase is executed at the beginning

It focuses on minimizing changes to requirement

TOGAF has a recommend process for requirements management

Which one of the following represents the detailed construction of the architectures defined in the Architecture Continuum?

Solution Building Blocks

Foundation Architectures

Architecture Building Blocks

Conceptual Models

Reference Models

Which of the following is NOT a correct reason for limiting the scope of the Architecture Activity?

To ensure an appropriate demarcation between the architecture effort and other, related activities (system design, system engineering, system development)

The objectives and stakeholder concerns to be addressed within the architecture You answered

The organizational authority of the team producing the architecture

The inflexibility of the baseline IT technical architecture

The realities of resource and time constraints often mean there is not enough time, funding, or resources to build a top-down, all-inclusive architecture description encompassing all four architecture domains

Which of the following answers does not follow the TOGAF definition?

A viewpoint is where you are looking from – the vantage point or perspective that determines what you see

An architectural description is a collection of artefacts that document an architecture

A view is a representation of a whole system from the perspective of a related set of concerns

Concerns are the key interests that are crucially important to the stakeholders in the system and determine the acceptability of the system.

A system is a regularly interacting or interdependent group of items forming a unified whole

Which of the following is not described by a Business Scenario in TOGAF?

The business and technology environment

A business process, application, or set of applications

The people and computing components who execute the scenario

The desired outcome of proper execution

The underlying business vision

Which of the following is NOT a key ADM Deliverable?

Architecture Repository

Architecture Contract

Architecture Principles

Integrated Information Infrastructure

Change Request

TOGAF states the basic premise of Gap Analysis is to:

Validate an architecture to consider what may have been forgotten

Compare Baseline Architecture ABBs with Target Architecture ABBs identifying the building blocks which are ‘New, Eliminated and Included’

Identify potential sources of gaps from the business, data, applications and technology domains.

Highlight a shortfall between the Baseline Architecture and the Target Architecture

Highlight stakeholders which have not been addressed

Which of the following reasons best describes why the ADM numbering scheme for versioning output is an example and not mandatory?

To show the evolution of deliverables

To support change management

To enable use with the Architecture Content Framework

To permit adaptation as required

Which of the following is NOT a recommendation for Architecture Capability building?

TOGAF states that Architecture Capability development should not be seen as a phase of an architecture project but as a separate one-off project

The ADM is an ideal method to be used to architect and govern the implementation of such Architecture Capability

Applying the ADM with the specific Architecture Vision to establish an architecture practice within the organization would help building Architecture Capability

Implementing any capability within an organization would require the design of the four domain architectures

Establishing a sustainable Architecture Capability within an organization can be achieved by adhering to the same approach that is used to establish any other capability

Complete the sentence: All of the following are technology-related drivers for architecture Change Requests, except __________

new technology reports

technology withdrawal

strategic change

asset management cost reductions

standards initiatives

For which phases is the Business Transformation Readiness Assessment a key technique?

Phases E and F

Phases E only

Phases A, E and F

Phases from A to F

Phases E, F and G

Which of these is not a part of III-RM (Integrated Information Infrastructure Reference Model) taxonomy?

Management utilities

Information consumer application

Information provider application

Brokering application

Communication infrastructure interface

According to TOGAF, which of the following is the reason why the first execution of an ADM cycle will be more difficult than later cycles?

Because the Baseline Architecture must be fully defined across the enterprise

Because there are few architecture assets available

Because of insufficient trained architecture practitioners

Because management is not familiar with the ADM process

Because of lack of governance

According to TOGAF, in which ADM phase does the initial implementation planning occur?

Phase A: Architecture Vision

Phase C: Information Systems Architectures

Phase B: Business Architecture

Phase D: Technology Architecture

Phase E: Opportunities and Solutions

What first-cut, high-level description does Architecture Vision provide?

Strategic Architectures, Segment Architectures and Capability Architectures

Baseline Architectures, Target Architectures and Gap Analysis

Enterprise Architectures, Solution Architectures and Transition Architectures

Business Architectures, Data Architectures, Application Architectures and Technology Architectures

Architecture Definition, Architecture Specification and Architecture Roadmap

The TOGAF Document categorisation Model consists of four categories. Which one is not a TOGAF Document category?

TOGAF Mandated

TOGAF Supplemental

TOGAF Core

TOGAF Recommended

TOGAF Supporting

Which are the three main categories of architectural work product does Architecture Content Framework specify?

Building Block, Artifact and Deliverable

Request for Architecture Work, Statement of Architecture Work and Architecture Contract

Architecture Vision, Architecture Design Document and Transition Architecture

Source Architecture, Target Architecture and Gap Analysis

Architecture Vision, Architecture Requirements Specification and Architecture Roadmap

In which ADM phase are the business principles, business goals and strategic drivers validated?

Requirements Management Phase

Preliminary Phase

Phase H, Architecture Change Management

Phase B, Business Architecture

Preliminary Phase

The objectives for Phase F: Migration Planning does not include which of the following:

To finalise the Architecture Vision and Architecture Definition Document

To prioritize all work packages, projects and building blocks

To confirm the Transition Architectures defined in Phase E

To create evolve and monitor the detailed Implementation and Migration plan

To generate and gain consensus on an outline Implementation and Migration Strategy
