The Open Group OGEA-103 Practice Test 25
Question 240
Which flawed shortcut is most directly contradicted by the following situation? An insurer builds overlapping claims applications without deciding which owns a given business service.
- An Architecture Contract with implementation contractors replaces authorization for initial architecture development.
- A value stream is the same thing as a sequence of technical API calls.
- Principles should be chosen only after Phase G has approved every implementation.
- A server support group is automatically the owner of every business-facing application service.
Explanation
Correct Answer
D:This is precisely the false assumption to challenge for Phase C app ownership. The governing principle is: Application responsibilities should be explicit enough to avoid duplication and unmanaged dependencies. This matters here because which flawed shortcut is most directly contradicted by the following situation.
Incorrect Answers
A:This is also a risky claim, but it directly concerns Phase A work authorization rather than the error in the current case: An insurer builds overlapping claims applications without deciding which owns a given business service.
B:The shortcut would be dangerous for Phase B value streams; it is not the particular misconception driving the described Phase C app ownership situation (An insurer builds overlapping claims applications without deciding which owns a given business service).
C:This false belief is about Preliminary architecture principles. The central misconception is that a server support group is automatically the owner of every business-facing application service.
Question 241
Architecture case: A manufacturing target application design still includes an obsolete workflow with no replacement or retirement plan. What should the architect do NEXT to resolve this concern?
- Perform application baseline-to-target gap analysis and record necessary changes.
- Reconcile work-package dependencies and value delivery when determining migration sequence.
- Translate availability and recovery requirements into technology resilience patterns and documented constraints.
- Communicate the proposed Architecture Vision and business value with major outcomes and high-level capabilities.
Explanation
Correct Answer
A:This directly addresses Phase C app gaps. Application Architecture identifies capability-enabling systems and gaps that inform subsequent work packages. A useful acceptance check is: Every unsupported or redundant application service has a target disposition.
Incorrect Answers
B:Although relevant to Phase F benefit dependencies, this is not the most direct response to Phase C app gaps. For this decision, what matters is whether every unsupported or redundant application service has a target disposition.
C:This action targets another architecture concern: Phase D resilience. The priority here is Phase C app gaps in this situation; it leaves the specific acceptance result unaddressed: every unsupported or redundant application service has a target disposition.
D:This proposal belongs primarily to Phase A value proposition. It does not show that every unsupported or redundant application service has a target disposition.
Question 242
An architect is asked to explain the following situation: A manufacturing target application design still includes an obsolete workflow with no replacement or retirement plan. Which underlying principle is most relevant?
- Phase G Implementation Governance governs delivery against the agreed architecture and approved deviations.
- Application Architecture identifies capability-enabling systems and gaps that inform subsequent work packages.
- The Preliminary Phase prepares architecture work by establishing capability, governance, principles, and tailoring.
- Application responsibilities should be explicit enough to avoid duplication and unmanaged dependencies.
Explanation
Correct Answer
B:This principle addresses Phase C app gaps. The preferred action is: Perform application baseline-to-target gap analysis and record necessary changes. Verify: Every unsupported or redundant application service has a target disposition.
Incorrect Answers
A:This is a legitimate concept for Phase G architecture contract; it does not most directly account for A manufacturing target application design still includes an obsolete workflow with no replacement or retirement plan. The important distinction is that application Architecture identifies capability-enabling systems and gaps that inform subsequent work packages.
C:That principle helps reason about Preliminary capability, but the described concern is specifically governed by Phase C app gaps. It does not explain application Architecture identifies capability-enabling systems and gaps that inform subsequent work packages.
D:This is a legitimate concept for Phase C app ownership; it does not most directly account for A manufacturing target application design still includes an obsolete workflow with no replacement or retirement plan. The important distinction is that application Architecture identifies capability-enabling systems and gaps that inform subsequent work packages.
Question 243
Architecture acceptance review: A manufacturing target application design still includes an obsolete workflow with no replacement or retirement plan. Which evidence would BEST demonstrate that this concern was resolved?
- Affected activities have named actors, role ownership, and defined handoffs.
- Target technology choices trace to application requirements and approved standards.
- Every unsupported or redundant application service has a target disposition.
- The work-package dependency view shows prerequisites and integration constraints.
Explanation
Correct Answer
C:This checks the Phase C app gaps outcome. The related decision is: Perform application baseline-to-target gap analysis and record necessary changes.
Incorrect Answers
A:This result checks another area, Phase B stakeholder roles. For This case, it does not establish that every unsupported or redundant application service has a target disposition.
B:This would provide assurance for Phase D platform standards, not the stated issue. It does not show every unsupported or redundant application service has a target disposition.
D:This result checks another area, Phase E dependency consolidation. For This case, it does not establish that every unsupported or redundant application service has a target disposition.
Question 244
Which flawed shortcut is most directly contradicted by the following situation? A manufacturing target application design still includes an obsolete workflow with no replacement or retirement plan.
- Principles should be chosen only after Phase G has approved every implementation.
- All work packages are independent by definition once they receive a budget code.
- An application list alone proves every required integration is implemented.
- Application change gaps are irrelevant until after implementation is complete.
Explanation
Correct Answer
D:This is precisely the false assumption to challenge for Phase C app gaps. The governing principle is: Application Architecture identifies capability-enabling systems and gaps that inform subsequent work packages.
Incorrect Answers
A:This is also a risky claim, but it directly concerns Preliminary architecture principles rather than the error in the current case: A manufacturing target application design still includes an obsolete workflow with no replacement or retirement plan.
B:The shortcut would be dangerous for Phase E dependency consolidation; it is not the particular misconception driving the described Phase C app gaps situation.
C:This false belief is about Phase C application collaboration. The central misconception is that application change gaps are irrelevant until after implementation is complete.
