The Open Group OGEA-103 Practice Test 3
Question 20
Architecture peer review: A data modernization team publishes technical models without identifying who will authorize or be affected by the changes. Which assumption, if accepted, most directly leaves this problem unresolved?
- Every ADM phase must be complete once before any previous phase can be revisited.
- Enterprise Architecture is only an inventory of the technology currently installed.
- A broad concern and an implementable requirement are always the same thing.
- A technical model is sufficient for any stakeholder as long as its notation is precise.
Explanation
Correct Answer
D:This is precisely the false assumption to challenge for Architecture stakeholders. The governing principle is: Stakeholder concerns are the drivers of architecture views and meaningful decisions.
Incorrect Answers
A:The shortcut would be dangerous for Architecture iteration; it is not the particular misconception driving the described Architecture stakeholders situation.
B:This false belief is about Architecture value. The central misconception is that a technical model is sufficient for any stakeholder as long as its notation is precise.
C:This is also a risky claim, but it directly concerns Stakeholder concern versus requirement rather than the error in the current case: A data modernization team publishes technical models without identifying who will authorize or be affected by the changes.
Question 21
Consider this enterprise-change situation: A city transport architect briefs developers but has no representation from passenger operations and regulators. What is the most appropriate architecture action?
- Identify stakeholders, concerns, influence, and required engagement before selecting architecture communications.
- Establish decision rights, compliance reviews, and escalation routes as part of Architecture Governance.
- Use the Enterprise Continuum to classify and progress reusable architecture and solution assets toward organization-specific use.
- Establish relevant architecture principles with rationale and implications and apply them to solution choices.
Explanation
Correct Answer
A:This directly addresses Architecture stakeholders. Stakeholder concerns are the drivers of architecture views and meaningful decisions. A useful acceptance check is: A stakeholder map shows accountable decision-makers and the concerns addressed by each view. This matters here because a city transport architect briefs developers but has no representation from passenger operations and regulators.….
Incorrect Answers
B:Although relevant to Architecture governance purpose, this is not the most direct response to Architecture stakeholders. For this decision, what matters is whether a stakeholder map shows accountable decision-makers and the concerns addressed by each view.
C:This action targets another architecture concern: Enterprise Continuum. The priority here is Architecture stakeholders in this situation; it leaves the specific acceptance result unaddressed: a stakeholder map shows accountable decision-makers and the concerns addressed by each view.
D:This proposal belongs primarily to Architecture principles. It does not show that a stakeholder map shows accountable decision-makers and the concerns addressed by each view.
Question 22
An architect is asked to explain the following situation: A city transport architect briefs developers but has no representation from passenger operations and regulators. Which underlying principle is most relevant?
- A business capability describes what an enterprise can do without prescribing a particular organization or application implementation.
- Stakeholder concerns are the drivers of architecture views and meaningful decisions.
- The four TOGAF architecture domains provide complementary perspectives on an integrated enterprise design.
- ABBs describe required architecture capabilities, while SBBs describe solution components that implement capabilities.

Incorrect Answers
A:This is a legitimate concept for Business capability; it does not most directly account for A city transport architect briefs developers but has no representation from passenger operations and regulators. The important distinction is that stakeholder concerns are the drivers of architecture views and meaningful decisions.
C:That principle helps reason about Architecture domains, but the described concern is specifically governed by Architecture stakeholders. It does not explain stakeholder concerns are the drivers of architecture views and meaningful decisions.
D:This is a legitimate concept for Architecture building blocks; it does not most directly account for A city transport architect briefs developers but has no representation from passenger operations and regulators. The important distinction is that stakeholder concerns are the drivers of architecture views and meaningful decisions.
Question 23
Following the proposed architecture change: A city transport architect briefs developers but has no representation from passenger operations and regulators. Which outcome should be verified?
- Strategic goals, segment choices, and capability designs trace without duplicated ownership.
- Teams use coherent methods and artifacts, with deviations justified for the engagement's scope.
- A stakeholder map shows accountable decision-makers and the concerns addressed by each view.
- The capability map remains meaningful when the application or department responsible for delivery changes.
Explanation
Correct Answer
C:This checks the Architecture stakeholders outcome. The related decision is: Identify stakeholders, concerns, influence, and required engagement before selecting architecture communications. This matters here because following the proposed architecture change: A city transport architect briefs developers but has no representation….
Incorrect Answers
A:This result checks another area, Architecture landscape levels. For This case, it does not establish that a stakeholder map shows accountable decision-makers and the concerns addressed by each view.
B:This would provide assurance for Architecture framework, not the stated issue. It does not show a stakeholder map shows accountable decision-makers and the concerns addressed by each view.
D:This result checks another area, Business capability. For This case, it does not establish that a stakeholder map shows accountable decision-makers and the concerns addressed by each view.
Question 24
A proposed decision is challenged in the following case: A city transport architect briefs developers but has no representation from passenger operations and regulators. Which misleading belief must be rejected?

- Every architecture engagement must model the entire enterprise at the same granularity.
- A technical model is sufficient for any stakeholder as long as its notation is precise.

Question 25
During an architecture engagement: A retail architect attempts to solve an organizational operating model issue only by drawing network infrastructure. Which response best addresses the immediate decision?
- Separate and reconcile Business, Data, Application, and Technology Architecture concerns for the target change.
- Select an iteration approach across and within ADM phases to address new evidence and stakeholder needs.
- Define an enterprise-wide architecture perspective that traces investment decisions to capabilities, outcomes, and strategic goals.
- Capture the underlying stakeholder concern and derive testable architecture requirements through dialogue.
Explanation

Question 26
Architecture reasoning: A retail architect attempts to solve an organizational operating model issue only by drawing network infrastructure. Which TOGAF concept MOST directly explains the appropriate response?

- The four TOGAF architecture domains provide complementary perspectives on an integrated enterprise design.
- Concerns motivate requirements, but requirements express specific needs or constraints that should be traceable and governed.
- A business capability describes what an enterprise can do without prescribing a particular organization or application implementation.
