QUESTION 1

What should be put in place through organization structures, roles, responsibilities, skills and processes to carry out architectural activity effectively?

A
An EA framework
B
An Enterprise Architecture
C
An EA Capability
D
An EA repository

Correct Option: C

This is the textbook definition of a Capability.

  • A capability is not just a person or a tool. It is the combination of:
    • People (Skills, Roles).
    • Process (Methodology).
    • Structure (Organization/Board).
QUESTION 2

Which of the following does the TOGAF standard define as the representation of a related set of concerns?

A
Matrix
B
Diagram
C
Architecture view
D
Catalog

Correct Option: C

  • Concern: Something a stakeholder cares about (e.g., "Is it safe?").
  • View: A representation (diagram, chart, document) created specifically to address those concerns.
  • Example: If the concern is "Security," you create a "Security View" (diagram of firewalls) to represent and address that set of concerns.
  • Note: Ideally, the Viewpoint defines the concerns, but the View is the representation that ANSWERS/ADDRESSES them.
QUESTION 3

Which section of the TOGAF template for Architecture Principles should describe the relationship to other principles

?

A
Rationale
B
Statement
C
Name
D
Implications

Correct Option: A

  • Statement: The rule itself.
  • Rationale (Correct): This section explains why the principle exists. Crucially, it also highlights relationships to other principles (e.g., "This principle supports Principle X by ensuring data availability"). It provides the context and justification.
  • Implications: The impact/cost of the principle.
QUESTION 4

In which section of the TOGAF template for Architecture Principles would a reader find the answer to the question of “How does this affect me”?

A
Implications
B
Name
C
Rationale
D
Statement

Correct Option: A

Detailed Explanation: A well-formed Architecture Principle has four parts, and each serves a specific communication purpose:

  1. Name: Easy to remember (e.g., "Cloud First").
  2. Statement: The rule itself (e.g., "All new apps must be cloud-native").
  3. Rationale: The business value (e.g., "This saves money and improves scalability").
  4. Implications (Correct Answer): This section details the consequences of the rule. It tells stakeholders what they must do differently, what resources are required, and the costs involved. It answers the practical question: "How does this rule impact my project or my budget?"
QUESTION 5

What is presented as “striking a balance between positive and negative outcomes resulting from the realization of either opportunities or threats”?

A
Transition Management
B
Agile development
C
Risk Management
D
Architecture Security

Correct Option: C

This is the formal definition of Risk Management within the TOGAF standard (aligned with ISO 31000).

  • The Concept: Risk is often misunderstood as only being "bad stuff." In TOGAF, risk is the effect of uncertainty on objectives.
    • Negative effect: A Threat (something bad might happen).
    • Positive effect: An Opportunity (something good might happen).
  • Risk Management is the art of balancing these. You want to minimize threats (mitigation) while maximizing opportunities (exploitation) to achieve the best outcome.
QUESTION 6

What is an objective of the ADM Implementation Governance Phase?

A
To ensure conformance for the target architecture
B
To finalize the Implementation and Migration Plan
C
To provide continual monitoring of the governance framework
D
To establish the resources for architecture governance

Correct Option: A

Phase G (Implementation Governance) is where the architecture team oversees the actual building of the solution by the development/implementation teams.

  • The Goal: The primary objective is not to do the implementation, but to govern it. The architect ensures that what the developers are building conforms to the architecture designed in earlier phases.
  • Architecture Contract: This is usually managed via an "Architecture Contract" signed by the development partners. If they deviate from the design, they are non-conformant, and the architect must intervene.
QUESTION 7

Consider the illustration.

What are the items labelled A, B and C?

A
A-Enterprise Architecture, B-Architecture Building Blocks, C-Solutions Building Blocks
B
A-Enterprise Strategic Architecture, B-Segment Architecture, C-Solutions Architecture
C
A-Enterprise Continuum, B-Architecture Continuum, C-Solutions Continuum
D
A-Architecture Vision, B-Business Architecture, C-Information Systems Architecture

Correct Option: C

Detailed Explanation:

The Enterprise Continuum is a classification model for all assets in the repository. It is divided into two major halves (Top and Bottom or Left and Right depending on the diagram):

  1. The Architecture Continuum (B): This contains the logical designs, diagrams, and specs. It flows from Generic Architectures $\to$ Industry Architectures $\to$ Organization-Specific Architectures.
  2. The Solutions Continuum (C): This contains the actual physical implementations (software, hardware, services) that implement those architectures. It flows from Generic Products $\to$ Industry Solutions $\to$ Organization-Specific Solutions.
  3. The Enterprise Continuum (A): The overarching container for both.
QUESTION 8

What are the following activities part of?

• Risk classification

• Risk identification

• Initial risk assessment

A
Phase G
B
Risk Management
C
Security Architecture
D
Phase A

Correct Option: B

These are the standard steps in the Risk Management process.

  1. Risk Identification: Determining what risks exist (e.g., "The vendor might go bankrupt").
  2. Risk Classification: Categorizing the risks (e.g., "Financial Risk," "Technical Risk").
  3. Initial Risk Assessment: Evaluating the impact and likelihood of the risk to prioritize it.
  • Context: While this happens during Phase A and Migration Planning, the activities themselves define the discipline of Risk Management.
QUESTION 9

Which section of the TOGAF template for Architecture Principles should succinctly and unambiguously communicate the fundamental rule?

A
Rationale
B
Statement
C
Name
D
Implications

Correct Option: B

  • This is the core rule. It should be short, clear, and unambiguous (e.g., "Information Management is Everybody's Business").
  • Rationale: Explains why.
  • Implications: Explains what happens.
QUESTION 10

Which of the following is the ability to develop, use and sustain the architecture of a particular enterprise using architecture to govern change?

A
An EA framework
B
An EA repository
C
An EA Capability
D
An Enterprise Architecture

Correct Option: C

  • An Architecture Capability is not just a document or a repository. It is the ability (skills, people, processes, organization) to actually do architecture.
  • If you have the "Ability to develop, use, and sustain" architecture, you possess an EA Capability.
QUESTION 11

Separate projects may operate their own ADM cycles concurrently, with relationships between the different projects.

Enterprise Architecture
B
Iteration
C
Requirements management
