The Open Group OGEA-103 Practice Test 34
Question 330
Architecture reasoning: A cloud program changes component boundaries during delivery without reviewing their conformity to the target architecture. Which TOGAF concept MOST directly explains the appropriate response?
- The Preliminary Phase prepares architecture work by establishing capability, governance, principles, and tailoring.
- Implementation governance maintains conformance between deployed solutions and architecture decisions.
- The EA capability includes people, roles, organizational relationships, skills, and governance arrangements.
- Data movement and sharing must support business processes and application interactions.
Explanation
Correct Answer
B:This principle addresses Phase G compliance. The preferred action is: Conduct architecture compliance reviews and document findings, corrective actions, and dispensation decisions. Verify: Recorded reviews show compliant changes or formally considered exceptions.
Incorrect Answers
A:The statement addresses Preliminary capability. In the present case, a principle for Phase G compliance is required: implementation governance maintains conformance between deployed solutions and architecture decisions.
C:This is a legitimate concept for Preliminary organizational model; it does not most directly account for A cloud program changes component boundaries during delivery without reviewing their conformity to the target architecture. The important distinction is that implementation governance maintains conformance between deployed solutions and architecture decisions.
D:The statement addresses Phase C data flow. In the present case, a principle for Phase G compliance is required: implementation governance maintains conformance between deployed solutions and architecture decisions.
Question 331
A steering committee is checking the result of this engagement: A cloud program changes component boundaries during delivery without reviewing their conformity to the target architecture. What evidence is most persuasive?
- Every unsupported or redundant application service has a target disposition.
- Candidate work packages address identified gaps with feasible solution paths.
- Recorded reviews show compliant changes or formally considered exceptions.
- Named application owners and interfaces cover each critical business service.
Explanation
Correct Answer
C:This checks the Phase G compliance outcome. The related decision is: Conduct architecture compliance reviews and document findings, corrective actions, and dispensation decisions.
Incorrect Answers
A:This would provide assurance for Phase C app gaps, not the stated issue. It does not show recorded reviews show compliant changes or formally considered exceptions.
B:The observation could be valid elsewhere for Phase E solution options, but this case needs more direct Phase G compliance evidence: recorded reviews show compliant changes or formally considered exceptions.
D:This would provide assurance for Phase C app ownership, not the stated issue. It does not show recorded reviews show compliant changes or formally considered exceptions.
Question 332
A proposed decision is challenged in the following case: A cloud program changes component boundaries during delivery without reviewing their conformity to the target architecture. Which misleading belief must be rejected?
- A value stream is the same thing as a sequence of technical API calls.
- Phase D should be completed before business outcomes have been considered.
- Phase F is complete once the architect draws a colorful target-state picture.
- Once a project is approved, its designs never need architecture compliance checks.
Explanation
Correct Answer
D:This is precisely the false assumption to challenge for Phase G compliance. The governing principle is: Implementation governance maintains conformance between deployed solutions and architecture decisions.
Incorrect Answers
A:The shortcut would be dangerous for Phase B value streams; it is not the particular misconception driving the described Phase G compliance situation.
B:This false belief is about Phase D platform standards. The central misconception is that once a project is approved, its designs never need architecture compliance checks.
C:This is also a risky claim, but it directly concerns Phase F implementation plan rather than the error in the current case: A cloud program changes component boundaries during delivery without reviewing their conformity to the target architecture.
Question 333
Consider this enterprise-change situation: An integrator proposes replacing an approved interface pattern but there is no architecture compliance review. What is the most appropriate architecture action?
- Conduct architecture compliance reviews and document findings, corrective actions, and dispensation decisions.
- Use continuous Requirements Management to baseline, assess impact, resolve conflicts, and update traceability.
- Establish Architecture Contracts and governance checkpoints for the implementation work.
- Consolidate gaps and dependencies into coherent work packages before sequencing delivery.
Explanation
Correct Answer
A:This directly addresses Phase G compliance. Implementation governance maintains conformance between deployed solutions and architecture decisions. A useful acceptance check is: Recorded reviews show compliant changes or formally considered exceptions. This matters here because an integrator proposes replacing an approved interface pattern but there is no architecture compliance review. What….
Incorrect Answers
B:Although relevant to Requirements management cycle, this is not the most direct response to Phase G compliance. For this decision, what matters is whether recorded reviews show compliant changes or formally considered exceptions.
C:This action targets another architecture concern: Phase G architecture contract. The priority here is Phase G compliance in this situation (An integrator proposes replacing an approved interface pattern but there is no architecture compliance review); it leaves the specific acceptance result unaddressed: recorded reviews show compliant changes or formally considered exceptions.
D:This proposal belongs primarily to Phase E dependency consolidation. It does not show that recorded reviews show compliant changes or formally considered exceptions.
Question 334
During design review: An integrator proposes replacing an approved interface pattern but there is no architecture compliance review. What is the strongest architectural reasoning for the decision?
- Cross-domain gap dependencies must inform opportunities, work packages, and subsequent roadmap decisions.
- Implementation governance maintains conformance between deployed solutions and architecture decisions.
- The Preliminary Phase prepares architecture work by establishing capability, governance, principles, and tailoring.
- Shared principles guide later architecture decisions and reflect enterprise context and governance.

Incorrect Answers
A:This is a legitimate concept for Phase E dependency consolidation; it does not most directly account for An integrator proposes replacing an approved interface pattern but there is no architecture compliance review. The important distinction is that implementation governance maintains conformance between deployed solutions and architecture decisions.
C:That principle helps reason about Preliminary capability, but the described concern (An integrator proposes replacing an approved interface pattern but there is no architecture compliance review) is specifically governed by Phase G compliance. It does not explain implementation governance maintains conformance between deployed solutions and architecture decisions.
D:This is a legitimate concept for Preliminary architecture principles; it does not most directly account for An integrator proposes replacing an approved interface pattern but there is no architecture compliance review. The important distinction is that implementation governance maintains conformance between deployed solutions and architecture decisions.
Question 335
Architecture acceptance review: An integrator proposes replacing an approved interface pattern but there is no architecture compliance review. Which evidence would BEST demonstrate that this concern was resolved?
- Delivery contracts or agreements specify compliance responsibilities, reviews, and acceptance evidence.
- A responsibility model shows how architects, sponsors, and decision bodies collaborate.
- Recorded reviews show compliant changes or formally considered exceptions.
- A dependency-aware roadmap places enabling work before dependent benefits.

Question 337
Architecture case: A new regulation arrives after a target architecture has been approved and may affect several capabilities. What should the architect do NEXT to resolve this concern?
- Assess the architecture change request and determine its impact and suitable response in Phase H.
- Use Phase E Opportunities and Solutions to assess candidate solutions and identify meaningful work packages.
- Complete the Implementation and Migration Plan and reconcile it with the Architecture Roadmap.
- Identify critical data flows, producers, consumers, and interface information requirements.
Explanation
Correct Answer
A:This directly addresses Phase H change trigger. Architecture Change Management monitors change drivers and maintains architecture relevance over time. A useful acceptance check is: The change decision documents impact, affected baselines, and whether iteration or new work is required.
Incorrect Answers
B:Although relevant to Phase E solution options, this is not the most direct response to Phase H change trigger. For this decision, what matters is whether the change decision documents impact, affected baselines, and whether iteration or new work is required.
C:This action targets another architecture concern: Phase F implementation plan. The priority here is Phase H change trigger in this situation; it leaves the specific acceptance result unaddressed: the change decision documents impact, affected baselines, and whether iteration or new work is required.
D:This proposal belongs primarily to Phase C data flow. It does not show that the change decision documents impact, affected baselines, and whether iteration or new work is required.
