Question #36

Exhibit

Consider the illustration showing an architecture development cycle.

Which description matches the phase of the ADM labeled as item 1?

A . Conducts implementation planning for the architecture defined in previous phases
B . Provides architectural oversight for the implementation
C . Operates the process of managing architecture requirements
D . Establishes procedures for managing change to the new architecture

Reveal Solution Hide Solution

Correct Answer: C
C

Explanation:

The illustration shows an architecture development cycle based on the TOGAF ADM (Architecture Development Method), which is a method for developing and managing an enterprise architecture1.

The ADM consists of nine phases, each with a specific purpose and output.

The phases are1:

Preliminary Phase: To prepare and initiate the architecture development cycle, including defining the architecture framework, principles, and governance.

Phase A: Architecture Vision: To define the scope, vision, and stakeholders of the architecture initiative, and to obtain approval to proceed.

Phase B: Business Architecture: To describe the baseline and target business architecture, and to identify the gaps between them.

Phase C: Information Systems Architectures: To describe the baseline and target data and application architectures, and to identify the gaps between them.

Phase D: Technology Architecture: To describe the baseline and target technology architecture, and to identify the gaps between them.

Phase E: Opportunities and Solutions: To identify and evaluate the opportunities and solutions for implementing the target architecture, and to define the work packages and transition architectures.

Phase F: Migration Planning: To finalize the implementation and migration plan, and to ensure alignment with the enterprise portfolio and project management.

Phase G: Implementation Governance: To provide architecture oversight and guidance for the implementation projects, and to manage any architecture change requests.

Phase H: Architecture Change Management: To monitor the changes in the business and technology environment, and to assess the impact and performance of the architecture.

In addition to these phases, there is a central process called Requirements Management, which is labeled as item 1 in the illustration. This process operates throughout the ADM cycle, and its purpose is to manage the architecture requirements throughout the architecture development, ensuring that they are aligned with the business requirements and the stakeholder concerns2.

Therefore, the description that matches the phase of the ADM labeled as item 1 is C. Operates the process of managing architecture requirements.

2: The TOGAF Standard, Version 9.2, Chapter 17: Requirements Management

Question #37

Which of the following best describes the purpose of the Architecture Roadmap?

A . It provides for effective communication of the end architecture project to the stakeholders
B . It is sent from the sponsor and triggers the start of an architecture development cycle
C . It forms the basis of a contractual agreement between the sponsor and the architecture organization
D . It lists work packages on a timeline showing progress towards the Target Architecture

A . 1 Architecture Requirements Specification – 2 Request for Architecture Work – 3 Statement of Architecture Work – 4 Architecture Principles
B . 1 Statement of Architecture Work – 2 Architecture Principles – 3 Architecture Requirements Specification – 4 Request for Architecture Work
C . 1 Architecture Principles – 2 Architecture Requirements Specification – 3 Request for Architecture Work – 4 Statement of Architecture Work
D . 1 Request for Architecture Work – 2 Statement of Architecture Work – 3 Architecture Principles – 4 Architecture Requirements Specification

Question #39

Which of the following is a responsibility of an Architecture Board?

A . Conducting assessments of the maturity level of architecture discipline within the organization
B . Allocating resources for architecture projects
C . Creating the Statement of Architecture Work
D . Establishing targets for re-use of components

Reveal Solution Hide Solution

Correct Answer: D
D

Explanation:

An Architecture Board is an executive-level group responsible for the review and maintenance of the strategic architecture and all of its sub-architectures1. It is a key element in a successful Architecture Governance strategy2.

An Architecture Board is typically made responsible, and accountable, for achieving some or all of the following goals2:

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

Consistency between sub-architectures

Establishing targets for re-use of components

Flexibility of the Enterprise Architecture: To meet changing business needs To leverage new technologies

Enforcement of Architecture Compliance

Improving the maturity level of architecture discipline within the organization

Ensuring that the discipline of architecture-based development is adopted Supporting a visible escalation capability for out-of-bounds decisions

Therefore, the correct answer is option D, which captures one of the goals of an Architecture Board as stated in the TOGAF Standard, Version 9.22.

Option A is incorrect, because conducting assessments of the maturity level of architecture discipline within the organization is not a direct responsibility of an Architecture Board, but rather a part of the Architecture Capability Framework3.

Option B is incorrect, because allocating resources for architecture projects is not a direct responsibility of an Architecture Board, but rather a part of the Architecture Governance Framework4.

Option C is incorrect, because creating the Statement of Architecture Work is not a direct responsibility of an Architecture Board, but rather a part of the Architecture Development Method5.
