The Open Group OGEA-103 Practice Test 19
Question 180
Which flawed shortcut is most directly contradicted by the following situation? A retailer plans channel transformation without understanding existing customer-service processes or organizational responsibilities.
- A Transition Architecture is merely a list of meeting dates and status updates.
- Phase D should be completed before business outcomes have been considered.
- Data retention obligations can be delegated entirely to network-topology diagrams.
- Phase B is principally the selection of server operating systems.
Explanation
Correct Answer
D:This is precisely the false assumption to challenge for Phase B business baseline. The governing principle is: Phase B elaborates Business Architecture, including capabilities, value, processes, actors, and organization.
Incorrect Answers
A:This false belief is about Phase E transition states. The central misconception is that phase B is principally the selection of server operating systems.
B:This is also a risky claim, but it directly concerns Phase D platform standards rather than the error in the current case: A retailer plans channel transformation without understanding existing customer-service processes or organizational responsibilities.
C:The shortcut would be dangerous for Phase C data lifecycle; it is not the particular misconception driving the described Phase B business baseline situation.
Question 181
Consider this enterprise-change situation: A benefits agency wants to redesign eligibility operations but has mapped only the future business capabilities. What is the most appropriate architecture action?
- Establish relevant Baseline Business Architecture and compare it with the intended target business design.
- Communicate the proposed Architecture Vision and business value with major outcomes and high-level capabilities.
- Prioritize migration projects using value, cost, risk, dependencies, and resource constraints in Phase F.
- Use the Preliminary Phase to establish the Architecture Capability and adapt the framework to enterprise needs.
Explanation
Correct Answer
A:This directly addresses Phase B business baseline. Phase B elaborates Business Architecture, including capabilities, value, processes, actors, and organization. A useful acceptance check is: Baseline and target business models expose missing capabilities and process dependencies. This matters here because a benefits agency wants to redesign eligibility operations but has mapped only the future business capabilities.….
Incorrect Answers
B:This action targets another architecture concern: Phase A value proposition. The priority here is Phase B business baseline in this situation; it leaves the specific acceptance result unaddressed: baseline and target business models expose missing capabilities and process dependencies.
C:This proposal belongs primarily to Phase F roadmap prioritization. It does not show that baseline and target business models expose missing capabilities and process dependencies.
D:Although relevant to Preliminary capability, this is not the most direct response to Phase B business baseline. For this decision, what matters is whether baseline and target business models expose missing capabilities and process dependencies.
Question 182
Architecture reasoning: A benefits agency wants to redesign eligibility operations but has mapped only the future business capabilities. Which TOGAF concept MOST directly explains the appropriate response?
- Technology design must demonstrate how infrastructure capabilities satisfy nonfunctional architecture requirements.
- Phase B elaborates Business Architecture, including capabilities, value, processes, actors, and organization.
- The Statement of Architecture Work records the agreed architecture engagement and authorizes detailed development.
- Security concerns span ADM domains and must be realized at the relevant technology level.
Explanation

Incorrect Answers
A:The statement addresses Phase D resilience. In the present case, a principle for Phase B business baseline is required: phase B elaborates Business Architecture, including capabilities, value, processes, actors, and organization.
C:This is a legitimate concept for Phase A work authorization; it does not most directly account for A benefits agency wants to redesign eligibility operations but has mapped only the future business capabilities. The important distinction is that phase B elaborates Business Architecture, including capabilities, value, processes, actors, and organization.
D:The statement addresses Phase D network trust. In the present case, a principle for Phase B business baseline is required: phase B elaborates Business Architecture, including capabilities, value, processes, actors, and organization.
Question 183
Following the proposed architecture change: A benefits agency wants to redesign eligibility operations but has mapped only the future business capabilities. Which outcome should be verified?
- Each intermediate state has clear capabilities, dependencies, and an eventual target relationship.
- The architecture maps key data exchanges to sources, consumers, and constraints.
- Baseline and target business models expose missing capabilities and process dependencies.
- Every unsupported or redundant application service has a target disposition.
Explanation
Correct Answer
C:This checks the Phase B business baseline outcome. The related decision is: Establish relevant Baseline Business Architecture and compare it with the intended target business design. This matters here because following the proposed architecture change: A benefits agency wants to redesign eligibility operations but has….
Incorrect Answers
A:This would provide assurance for Phase E transition states, not the stated issue. It does not show baseline and target business models expose missing capabilities and process dependencies.
B:The observation could be valid elsewhere for Phase C data flow, but this case needs more direct Phase B business baseline evidence: baseline and target business models expose missing capabilities and process dependencies.
D:This would provide assurance for Phase C app gaps, not the stated issue. It does not show baseline and target business models expose missing capabilities and process dependencies.
Question 184
A proposed decision is challenged in the following case: A benefits agency wants to redesign eligibility operations but has mapped only the future business capabilities. Which misleading belief must be rejected?
- A network connectivity diagram alone establishes resilience and disaster recovery readiness.
- Application change gaps are irrelevant until after implementation is complete.
- An Architecture Contract is simply another name for the initial Architecture Vision.
- Phase B is principally the selection of server operating systems.

B:This false belief is about Phase C app gaps. The central misconception is that phase B is principally the selection of server operating systems.
C:This is also a risky claim, but it directly concerns Phase G architecture contract rather than the error in the current case: A benefits agency wants to redesign eligibility operations but has mapped only the future business capabilities.
Question 185
Architecture case: A bank allocates funding by application teams but cannot show which customer value stages the changes improve. What should the architect do NEXT to resolve this concern?
- Model business value streams and connect value stages to the capabilities enabling them.
- Establish relevant Baseline Business Architecture and compare it with the intended target business design.
- Define the architecture organization, responsibility boundaries, and required capabilities in the Preliminary Phase.
- Identify required Transition Architectures and major work packages as intermediate, governed states.
Explanation
Correct Answer
A:This directly addresses Phase B value streams. Value streams describe how an enterprise creates value for stakeholders and can expose cross-capability dependencies. A useful acceptance check is: Key value stages have accountable capabilities and measurable business outcomes.
Incorrect Answers
B:This action targets another architecture concern: Phase B business baseline. The priority here is Phase B value streams in this situation; it leaves the specific acceptance result unaddressed: key value stages have accountable capabilities and measurable business outcomes.
C:This proposal belongs primarily to Preliminary organizational model. It does not show that key value stages have accountable capabilities and measurable business outcomes.
D:Although relevant to Phase E transition states, this is not the most direct response to Phase B value streams. For this decision, what matters is whether key value stages have accountable capabilities and measurable business outcomes.
