Which phase of the ADM is an on-going activity that is visited throughout a TOGAF architecture project?

Preliminary Phase

Migration planning

Architecture Change Management

Which of the following is a Key Point of the ADM Cycle?

The main guideline is to focus on what creates value to the enterprise, and to select horizontal and vertical scope, and project schedules, accordingly

ADM provides a recommended the scope of activity which can be tailored by the organization itself

Though ADM is iterative, the decisions regarding enterprise coverage, level of detail, time period and architecture asset re-use needs to be take upfront

Where necessary, use of the ADM should be tailored to meet the needs of the organization but phases cannot be omitted

Decisions taken should be based on the value accruing to the enterprise only

Which of the following is NOT the responsibility of Architecture Board?

Providing the basis for all decision-making with regard to changes to the architectures

Identifying re-usable components

Ensuring consistency between sub-architectures

Improving the maturity level of architecture discipline within the organization

Identification of risk and subsequent risk mitigation

Which of the TOGAF ADM phases is considered to be the initial phase of an Architecture Development Cycle?

Phase A

Preliminary Phase

Phase G

Phase B

Phase E

In which phase of the ADM, the nature and security considerations of information and service exchanges determined?

Phase B

Phase A

Preliminary Phase

Phase C

Phase D

Complete the sentence: All of the following are part of the approach to the Preliminary Phase, except ____________

defining the requirements for architecture work

defining the framework to be used

defining the enterprise

identifying key drivers and elements in the organizational context

defining Architecture Contracts

TOGAF states the basic premise of Gap Analysis is to:

Highlight a shortfall between the Baseline Architecture and the Target Architecture

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’

Highlight stakeholders which have not been addressed

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

‘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

Non-conformant

Compliant

Consistent

Irrelevant

Which of the following is defined as the risk categorization after the implementation of mitigating actions?

Actual Level of Risk

Residual Level of Risk

Initial Level of Risk

Strategic Level of Risk

Which of the following statements best describes the purpose of the Architecture Requirements Specification?

A qualitative view of the solution to communicate the intent of the architect

A document that triggers the start of an architecture development cycle

A quantitative view of the solution to measure the implementation

A record of deviations from the planned architectural approach to identify changes to be made

Which architecture domain describes logical software and hardware capabilities?

Application Architecture

Business Architecture

Information Systems Architecture

Technology Architecture

Data Architecture

Which of the following is H?

Migration Planning

Oppurtunities and Solutions

Requirement Management

Architecture Change Management

Implementation Governance

In which phase is the make versus buy versus re-use decision taken?

Phase D

Phase E

Phase A

Phase F

Phase G

Which one of the following statements does not correctly describe architecture deliverables?

They are usually reviewed and signed off by the stakeholders

They are consumed and produced across the ADM cycle

They are typically contractual work products of an architecture project

They are defined to avoid tailoring the inputs and outputs of the ADM cycle

Which one of the following best describes an Architecture Contract?

An agreement between the development partners and stakeholders on the acceptable risks and mitigating actions for an architecture

An agreement between development partners and sponsors on the deliverables, quality, and fitness-for-purpose of an architecture

An agreement between the lead architect and the development partners on the enforcement of Architecture Compliance for an architecture

An agreement between development partners and sponsors on how best to monitor implementation of the architecture

Complete the sentence. The statement, "Getting information to the right people at the right time in a secure, reliable manner in order to support the operations that are core to the extended enterprise" describes the concept of _____

Semantic Web

Boundaryless Information Flow

Service Oriented Architecture

Interoperability

Portability

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

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

The inflexibility of the baseline IT technical architecture

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

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

The organizational authority of the team producing the architecture

According to TOGAF, all of the following are suggested characteristics of an architecture framework, except __________

A list of recommended standards

A method for designing a target state of the enterprise in terms of building blocks

A common vocabulary

A software development lifecycle method

A set of structures which can be used to develop a broad range of architectures
