QUESTION 1

Complete the sentence. The Enterprise Continuum provides methods for classifying architecture artifacts as they evolve from ____________________.

A
generic architectures to reusable Solution Building Blocks
B
generic architectures to Organization-Specific Architectures
C
Foundation Architectures to re-usable architecture assets
D
Solutions Architectures to Solution Building Blocks

Correct Option: B

The Enterprise Continuum is a way of classifying assets. It moves from the left side (most generic) to the right side (most specific).

  • Left Side: Foundation Architectures (Generic).
  • Right Side: Organization-Specific Architectures (tailored to the specific enterprise).

QUESTION 2

What is defined as the effect of uncertainty on objectives?

A
Risk
B
Vulnerability
C
Threat
D
Continuity

Correct Option: A

TOGAF adopts the standard ISO 31000 definition of Risk, which is "the effect of uncertainty on objectives." This effect can be positive (opportunity) or negative (threat).

QUESTION 3

What is an objective of the ADM Preliminary Phase?

A
To obtain approval for the Statement of Architecture Work
B
To create the initial version of the Architecture Roadmap
C
To develop a vision of the business value to be delivered by the proposed enterprise architecture
D
To select and implement tools to support the Architecture Capability

Correct Option: D

The Preliminary Phase is about defining "where, what, why, who, and how" we do architecture. It is about setting up the Architecture Capability itself.

  • D (Correct): Selecting tools and defining the framework are key parts of setting up the capability.
  • A, B, C (Incorrect): Creating the Architecture Roadmap (B) happens in Phases E/F. Developing the Vision (C) is Phase A.

QUESTION 4

The _____________ ensures that a project transitioning into implementation also smoothly transitions into appropriate Architecture Governance.

A
Implementation Strategy
B
Transition Plan
C
Migration Plan
D
Implementation Governance Model

Correct Option: D

This occurs in Phase G (Implementation Governance). To ensure that the architecture designed in earlier phases is built correctly, an Implementation Governance Model is established to oversee the development and deployment process.

QUESTION 5

What are the four dimensions used to scope an architecture?

A
Strategy, Segment, Capability, Budget
B
Strategy, Portfolio, Project, Solution Delivery
C
Breadth, Depth, Time Period, Architecture Domains
D
Business, Data, Application, Technology

Correct Option: C

When scoping an architecture activity (typically in Phase A), you must define:

  1. Breadth: What is the coverage? (e.g., whole enterprise vs. one division)
  2. Depth: How much detail? (e.g., high-level sketch vs. detailed design)
  3. Time Period: What is the time horizon? (e.g., 6 months vs. 5 years)
  4. Architecture Domains: Which domains are involved? (e.g., just Technology, or all four BDAT)

QUESTION 6

Which section of the TOGAF template for Architecture Principles should highlight the business benefits of adhering to the principle?

A
Implications
B
Rationale
C
Statement
D
Name

Correct Option: B

A standard Architecture Principle consists of:

  • Name: The essence of the rule.
  • Statement: What the rule is.
  • Rationale (Correct): Why we have this rule and the business benefits of following it.
  • Implications: The requirements/costs/impacts of following the rule.

QUESTION 7

Which statement best describes iteration and the ADM?

A
The ADM is sequential. Iteration is applied within phases.
B
The ADM is iterative, over the whole process, between phases, and within phases.
C
The ADM is iterative between phases B to D, and between Phases E and F.
D
The level of detail is defined once and applies to all iterations.

Correct Option: B

The TOGAF ADM is not a strict "waterfall" linear process. You can iterate:

 

  • Over the whole cycle (Vision to Migration).
  • Between specific phases (e.g., cycling between Data and Application architecture).
  • Within a single phase (refining the design).
QUESTION 8

Complete the sentence. The four purposes that typically frame the planning horizon, depth and breadth of an Architecture Project, and the contents of the EA Repository are Strategy, Portfolio, ___________.

A
Project, and Solution Delivery.
B
Discreet, and Cohesive.
C
Subordinate, and Superior Architecture.
D
Segment, and End-to-end Target Architecture.

Correct Option: A

This refers to the Architecture Landscape granularity. Architectures generally fall into four levels of detail and purpose:

  1. Strategy: High level, long term.
  2. Portfolio: Managing sets of investments.
  3. Project: Creating specific capabilities.
  4. Solution Delivery: Implementation details.

QUESTION 9

Consider the following descriptions of deliverables consumed and produced across the TOGAF ADM cycle.

Which deliverables match these descriptions?

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

Correct Option: B

Although the descriptions were missing from the prompt text, the logic for Option B follows the standard ADM flow:

  1. Request for Architecture Work: The trigger from management to start the cycle.
  2. Statement of Architecture Work: The architect's response defining the scope and plan.
  3. Architecture Principles: General rules defined early (Preliminary/Phase A).
  4. Architecture Requirements Specification: The detailed constraints and requirements gathered throughout Phases B-D.

QUESTION 10

Consider the following ADM phases objectives.

Which phase does each objective match?

A
1C-2D-3B-4A
B
1A-2B-3C-4D
C
1C-2B-3A-4D
D
1B-2D-3A-4C

Correct Option: C

Similar to Q16, the descriptions are missing, but this order likely corresponds to:

  • Phase A (Architecture Vision): Defining the vision and stakeholders.
  • Phase B/C/D (Business/IS/Tech): Developing the Baseline and Target Architectures.
  • Phase E (Opportunities & Solutions): Identifying delivery vehicles.
  • Phase F (Migration Planning): Creating the implementation plan. (The key C implies a specific mapping provided in the original exam visual).

QUESTION 11

Which of the following best summarizes the purpose of Enterprise Architecture?

A
Taking major improvement decisions.
B
Controlling the bigger changes.
C
Guiding effective change.
D
Governing the Stakeholders.
