The Open Group OGEA-103 Practice Test 14
Question 130
Architecture reasoning: A retailer begins a multi-year architecture effort but lacks an EA function, a defined process, or governance support. Which TOGAF concept MOST directly explains the appropriate response?
- Cross-domain gap dependencies must inform opportunities, work packages, and subsequent roadmap decisions.
- The Preliminary Phase prepares architecture work by establishing capability, governance, principles, and tailoring.
- Data movement and sharing must support business processes and application interactions.
- The Statement of Architecture Work records the agreed architecture engagement and authorizes detailed development.
Explanation
Correct Answer
B:This principle addresses Preliminary capability. The preferred action is: Use the Preliminary Phase to establish the Architecture Capability and adapt the framework to enterprise needs. Verify: An approved capability charter identifies roles, governance, adapted method, and operational support.
Incorrect Answers
A:That principle helps reason about Phase E dependency consolidation, but the described concern is specifically governed by Preliminary capability. It does not explain the Preliminary Phase prepares architecture work by establishing capability, governance, principles, and tailoring.
C:The statement addresses Phase C data flow. In the present case, a principle for Preliminary capability is required: the Preliminary Phase prepares architecture work by establishing capability, governance, principles, and tailoring.
D:That principle helps reason about Phase A work authorization, but the described concern is specifically governed by Preliminary capability. It does not explain the Preliminary Phase prepares architecture work by establishing capability, governance, principles, and tailoring.
Question 131
A steering committee is checking the result of this engagement: A retailer begins a multi-year architecture effort but lacks an EA function, a defined process, or governance support. What evidence is most persuasive?
- A dependency-aware roadmap places enabling work before dependent benefits.
- Delivery contracts or agreements specify compliance responsibilities, reviews, and acceptance evidence.
- An approved capability charter identifies roles, governance, adapted method, and operational support.
- Changed requirements connect to impacted architecture views, decisions, and responsible owners.
Explanation
Correct Answer
C:This checks the Preliminary capability outcome. The related decision is: Use the Preliminary Phase to establish the Architecture Capability and adapt the framework to enterprise needs.
Incorrect Answers
A:The observation could be valid elsewhere for Phase F benefit dependencies, but this case needs more direct Preliminary capability evidence: an approved capability charter identifies roles, governance, adapted method, and operational support.
B:This result checks another area, Phase G architecture contract. For This case, it does not establish that an approved capability charter identifies roles, governance, adapted method, and operational support.
D:The observation could be valid elsewhere for Requirements management cycle, but this case needs more direct Preliminary capability evidence: an approved capability charter identifies roles, governance, adapted method, and operational support.
Question 132
Which flawed shortcut is most directly contradicted by the following situation? A retailer begins a multi-year architecture effort but lacks an EA function, a defined process, or governance support.
- Selecting a database brand automatically harmonizes semantic definitions.
- Phase B is principally the selection of server operating systems.
- An Architecture Contract is simply another name for the initial Architecture Vision.
- The Preliminary Phase exists primarily to design the target application portfolio.
Explanation
Correct Answer
D:This is precisely the false assumption to challenge for Preliminary capability. The governing principle is: The Preliminary Phase prepares architecture work by establishing capability, governance, principles, and tailoring.
Incorrect Answers
A:This false belief is about Phase C data ownership. The central misconception is that the Preliminary Phase exists primarily to design the target application portfolio.
B:This is also a risky claim, but it directly concerns Phase B business baseline rather than the error in the current case: A retailer begins a multi-year architecture effort but lacks an EA function, a defined process, or governance support.
C:The shortcut would be dangerous for Phase G architecture contract; it is not the particular misconception driving the described Preliminary capability situation.
Question 133
Consider this enterprise-change situation: A municipality mandates architecture reviews without a charter, trained staff, or agreed framework tailoring. What is the most appropriate architecture action?
- Use the Preliminary Phase to establish the Architecture Capability and adapt the framework to enterprise needs.
- Assess the architecture change request and determine its impact and suitable response in Phase H.
- Review the Request for Architecture Work and establish the scope, constraints, and stakeholders for Phase A.
- Communicate the proposed Architecture Vision and business value with major outcomes and high-level capabilities.
Explanation
Correct Answer
A:This directly addresses Preliminary capability. The Preliminary Phase prepares architecture work by establishing capability, governance, principles, and tailoring. A useful acceptance check is: An approved capability charter identifies roles, governance, adapted method, and operational support.

Question 137
During an architecture engagement: Several business units claim authority over enterprise architecture with no agreed skills or accountability. Which response best addresses the immediate decision?
- Define the architecture organization, responsibility boundaries, and required capabilities in the Preliminary Phase.
- Model Application Architecture components, services, and their required interactions.
- Translate availability and recovery requirements into technology resilience patterns and documented constraints.
- Complete the Implementation and Migration Plan and reconcile it with the Architecture Roadmap.
Explanation
Correct Answer
A:This directly addresses Preliminary organizational model. The EA capability includes people, roles, organizational relationships, skills, and governance arrangements. A useful acceptance check is: A responsibility model shows how architects, sponsors, and decision bodies collaborate.
Incorrect Answers
B:This action targets another architecture concern: Phase C application collaboration. The priority here is Preliminary organizational model in this situation (Several business units claim authority over enterprise architecture with no agreed skills or accountability); it leaves the specific acceptance result unaddressed: a responsibility model shows how architects, sponsors, and decision bodies collaborate.
C:This proposal belongs primarily to Phase D resilience. It does not show that a responsibility model shows how architects, sponsors, and decision bodies collaborate.
D:Although relevant to Phase F implementation plan, this is not the most direct response to Preliminary organizational model. For this decision, what matters is whether a responsibility model shows how architects, sponsors, and decision bodies collaborate.
Question 138
During design review: Several business units claim authority over enterprise architecture with no agreed skills or accountability. What is the strongest architectural reasoning for the decision?
- Shared principles guide later architecture decisions and reflect enterprise context and governance.
- The EA capability includes people, roles, organizational relationships, skills, and governance arrangements.
- A Transition Architecture is an architecturally meaningful intermediate state between baseline and target.
- Data Architecture should represent how information is created, shared, maintained, retained, and disposed of.
