The Open Group OGEA-103 Practice Test 31
Question 300
Which flawed shortcut is most directly contradicted by the following situation? A municipal program has eight candidate work packages but must balance business value against risk, cost, and capacity.
- A server support group is automatically the owner of every business-facing application service.
- An Architecture Contract with implementation contractors replaces authorization for initial architecture development.
- Detailed Technology Architecture must be complete before an architecture engagement may be scoped.
- The fastest technical change should always be prioritized before all business-value considerations.
Explanation
Correct Answer
D:This is precisely the false assumption to challenge for Phase F roadmap prioritization. The governing principle is: Phase F Migration Planning converts feasible opportunities into an agreed, sequenced implementation path.
Incorrect Answers
A:This false belief is about Phase C app ownership. The central misconception is that the fastest technical change should always be prioritized before all business-value considerations.
B:This is also a risky claim, but it directly concerns Phase A work authorization rather than the error in the current case: A municipal program has eight candidate work packages but must balance business value against risk, cost, and capacity.
C:The shortcut would be dangerous for Phase A request scope; it is not the particular misconception driving the described Phase F roadmap prioritization situation.
Question 301
During an architecture engagement: An enterprise merger requires a funding sequence, yet teams prioritize change tickets alphabetically. Which response best addresses the immediate decision?
- Prioritize migration projects using value, cost, risk, dependencies, and resource constraints in Phase F.
- Model the relevant business actors, roles, and process responsibilities in the Business Architecture.
- Assess the architecture change request and determine its impact and suitable response in Phase H.
- Define the architecture organization, responsibility boundaries, and required capabilities in the Preliminary Phase.
Explanation
Correct Answer
A:This directly addresses Phase F roadmap prioritization. Phase F Migration Planning converts feasible opportunities into an agreed, sequenced implementation path. A useful acceptance check is: The approved roadmap explains why each major work package occupies its planned position. This matters here because an enterprise merger requires a funding sequence, yet teams prioritize change tickets alphabetically. Which response….
Incorrect Answers
B:This action targets another architecture concern: Phase B stakeholder roles. The priority here is Phase F roadmap prioritization in this situation (An enterprise merger requires a funding sequence, yet teams prioritize change tickets alphabetically); it leaves the specific acceptance result unaddressed: the approved roadmap explains why each major work package occupies its planned position.
C:This proposal belongs primarily to Phase H change trigger. It does not show that the approved roadmap explains why each major work package occupies its planned position.
D:Although relevant to Preliminary organizational model, this is not the most direct response to Phase F roadmap prioritization. For this decision, what matters is whether the approved roadmap explains why each major work package occupies its planned position.
