Security considerations when applying the ADM

Applying the ADM at different levels of the enterprise

Coexisting with other Enterprise Architecture frameworks

Ways to apply iteration to the ADM

Which part of the TOGAF document provides a number of architecture development phases, together with narratives for each phase?

Part IV: Architecture Content Framework

Part I: Introduction

Part V: Enterprise Continuum and Tools

Part II: Architecture Development Method (ADM)

Part III: ADM Guidelines and Techniques

Which of the following is NOT an objective of the Preliminary phase?

Articulate an Architecture Vision and value proposition

Understand the business environment

Ensure high-level management commitment and obtain agreement on scope

Establish principles and establish governance structure

Agree architecture method to be adopted

TOGAF states that establishing and operating an Architecture Board is more than offset by the savings accrued from preventing one off solutions and unconstrained development. Which of the following answers does TOGAF not state as a reason for establishing an Architecture Board?

Higher risk

Better understanding of the business and their requirements

High costs of development

Lower quality

High cost of operation and support

An organization has bought a large enterprise application. As a result, which of the following could be included in the organization’s Solutions Continuum?

A reference implementation of the Technical Reference Model for the organization

A reference implementation of the Foundation Architecture

Detailed pricing information about the purchased products

Architecture Building Blocks for the organizations’ Industry-Specific Architecture

Product information for purchased products

Which one of the following best describes the content of an Architecture Building Block?

Product or vendor-aware

Fundamental functionality

Defined implementation

Products and components used to implement the functionality

Specific functionality

Where the process of creating a Business Scenario does starts?

Business and Technical environments

Problem statements

Roles and responsibilities

Desired objectives

Human participants

Which of the following is not true of Principles in TOGAF?

The Components of Architecture Principles are Name, Statement, Rationale, Implications and Risks and Issues.

Principles are inter-related and need to be applied as a set. Principles will sometimes compete.

Principles must be Understandable, Robust, Complete, Consistent and Stable

Principles are developed by the lead enterprise architect in conjunction with the CIO, Architecture Board and other key stakeholders

Architecture Principles maybe established at one or all three levels of enterprise, Information Technology and Architecture

Which of these is not the reason for wanting to tailor the ADM to the circumstances of an individual enterprise?

The ADM is being mandated for use by a prime or lead contractor in an outsourcing situation, and needs to be tailored to achieve a suitable compromise between the contractor’s existing practices and the contracting enterprise’s equirements

The enterprise is a small-to-medium enterprise, and wishes to use a “cut-down” version of the ADM

An important consideration is that the order of the phases in the ADM is to some extent dependent on the maturity of the architecture discipline within the enterprise concerned

The ADM is one of many corporate processes that make up the corporate governance model for an enterprise

An enterprise may wish to use or tailor the ADM in conjunction with the security best practices in use in the enterprise

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?

Preliminary Phase

Technology Architecture

Data Architecture

Application Architecture

Business Architecture

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

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

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

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

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

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

Which of the following is not one of the domain architectures produced by the TOGAF ADM process?

Application Architecture

Business Architecture

Data Architecture

Pattern Architecture

Technology Architecture

As architecture deliverables and work products created in one ADM phase are modified by subsequent phases, how does TOGAF suggest tracking the changes?

Document checkpoints and journaling

Publish and subscribe system

Workflow management system

Version numbers

Change control committee

Which one of the following best describes the purpose of the Communications Plan?

To keep the Architecture Review Board appraised of changes to the architecture

To ensure that architecture information is communicated to the right stakeholders at the right time

To ensure that the outcomes of a Compliance Assessment are distributed to the members of the

To evangelize the architecture to the end user community

To support Boundaryless Information Flow

‘All the features in the architecture specification are implemented in accordance with the specification, but some more features are implemented that are not in accordance with it.’ This text describes which level of architecture compliance?

Conformant

Irrelevant

Consistent

Compliant

Non-conformant

In which Phase of the ADM, the risk identification and mitigation assessment worksheets are maintained as governance artifacts and are kept up-to-date?

Phase E

Phase G

Phase F

Phase H

Phase A

Which of the following best describes the TOGAF Technical Reference Model?

The Technical Reference Model should not be modified

The Technical Reference Model provides a direct mapping to the Zachman Framework

The TOGAF Architecture Development Method mandates the use of the Technical Reference Model for large complex architecture projects

The Technical Reference Model is an integral part of the TOGAF Architecture Development Method

The Technical Reference Model includes a set of graphical models and a corresponding taxonomy

In which ADM phases, does Architecture Governance performed and operated?

It is established in Phase A and operated on Phase F to H

It is established in Preliminary Phase and operated on all subsequent phases

It is established in Preliminary Phase, refined in Phase A and operated on Phase F to H

It is established in Phase A and operated on Phase E to G

It is established in Preliminary Phase and operated on Phase G and H

Which of the following relationship between view, viewpoint, stakeholder and architecture is correct?

An architecture consists of multiple viewpoints

A Viewpoint conforms to a view

Viewpoint library contains multiple views

One of more viewpoint can be used to cover a concern

Stakeholder concern is address by one or more viewpoints
