TOGAF 20

Which of the following is incorrect when describing Architecture Deliverables?

Architecture Deliverables contain Artifacts

Deliverables cannot be used as building blocks

An Architecture Definition Document is an architectural deliverable

Architecture Deliverables may be composed of more than one artifact

Artifacts within deliverables may include Catalogs, Matrices and Diagrams

Which of the following is NOT an activity in Phase E?

Perform a cost/benefit analysis and a risk assessment

Identify the major implementation projects

Decide on approach — Make versus buy versus re-use

Group projects into Transition Architectures

Perform initial implementation planning

Which of the following statements is NOT true for ADM?

ADM does not determine the scope for an enterprise architecture activity; this must be determined by the organization itself

The ADM has ten phases

The numbering scheme provided in the TOGAF ADM for its outputs is a mandated practice

ADM defines a recommended sequence for the various phases and steps involved in developing an organization-wide enterprise architecture

An output in an early ADM phase may be modified in a later phase

According to TOGAF, which one of the following is described as a view of the Architecture Repository and provides methods for classifying architecture and solution artifacts as they evolve?

Standards Information Base

Enterprise Continuum

Architecture Landscape

Governance Log

Architecture Governance Repository

Which among the following statements about Architecture Continuum is NOT true?

It represents a structuring of Architecture Building Blocks (ABBs) which are re-usable architecture assets

It is a useful tool to discover commonality and eliminate unnecessary redundancy You answered

It shows the relationships among foundational frameworks, common system architectures, industry architectures, and enterprise architectures

Every artifact in the Solutions Continuum has a one to one relationship with a corresponding artifact in the Architecture Continuum

It offers a consistent way to define and understand the generic rules, representations, and relationships in an architecture, including traceability and derivation relationships

Which of the following is not a Core Metamodel Entity?

Data Entity

Platform Service

Organisation

Standards

Function

Which of the following best completes the sentence: The Enterprise Continuum __________

provides a method for architecture development

provides methods for classifying artifacts

is a technical reference model

is an architecture framework

describes a database of open industry standards

According to TOGAF, which of the following best describes why an Architecture Board should be established?

To ensure that new systems are introduced in a managed change process

To facilitate the adoption of advanced technologies

To conduct performance appraisals on the enterprise architecture team

To conduct source code design reviews

To oversee the implementation of the governance strategy

In which phase are the Architecture Contracts prepared?

Phase E

Phase G

Phase F

Phase A

Preliminary Phase

Which of the following statement is correct in the context of ADM iteration?

Yes, you can cycle around any combination of phases

Yes, you can cycle around ADM, iterate across specific phases or cycle through some of the phases

No, ADM is not iterative

Yes, you can cycle around all single individual phase

Yes, you can only cycle around the ADM

Which phase of the ADM is used to finalize a set of transition architectures that will support implementation?

Phase F

Phase G

Phase F

Phase E

Phase D

Which of the following statements is not correct about Enterprise Continuum?

It is a view of the Architecture Repository that provides methods for classifying architecture and solution artifacts, both internal and external to the Architecture Repository

It is a physical repository of all architecture assets models, patterns, architecture descriptions, and other artifacts produced during application of the ADM

It represents an aid to communication

It is an important aid to communication and understanding, both within individual enterprises, and between customer enterprises and vendor organizations

It also represents an aid to organizing re-usable architecture and solution assets

TOGAF states the basic premise of Gap Analysis is to:

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.

Validate an architecture to consider what may have been forgotten

Highlight stakeholders which have not been addressed

Highlight a shortfall between the Baseline Architecture and the Target Architecture

Which of the following is not a reason to use an Enterprise Architecture Framework in the context of TOGAF?

It will ensure compliance and protect the interest of stakeholders

It will make certain that the architecture selected allows for future growth in response to the needs of the business

It will speed up and simplify architecture development

Its use may be mandated by federal agencies

It will ensure more complete coverage of the designed solution

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 F

Phase H

Phase G

Phase A

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 of insufficient trained architecture practitioners

Because of lack of governance

Because the Baseline Architecture must be fully defined across the enterprise

Because management is not familiar with the ADM process

Because there are few architecture assets available

Which of the following is NOT an approach in Phase G?

Follow the organization’s standard for corporate, IT, and Architecture Governance

Creation of an Implementation and Migration Plan in co-operation with the portfolio and project managers

Adopt a phased deployment schedule that reflects the business priorities embodied in the Architecture Roadmap

Define an operations framework to ensure the effective long life of the deployed solution

Use the organization’s established portfolio/program management approach, where this exists
