The Open Group OGEA-103 Practice Test 39
Question 380
A proposed decision is challenged in the following case: A future-state architecture looks attractive but the board cannot tell which capabilities are missing today. Which misleading belief must be rejected?
- Viewpoint and view are synonyms that always mean the finished drawing.
- Independent architecture partitions have no need to coordinate cross-boundary requirements.
- All stakeholders should receive the same infrastructure model to maintain fairness.
- A baseline-to-target comparison is unnecessary once the target slide is approved.
Explanation
Correct Answer
D:This is precisely the false assumption to challenge for Gap analysis method. The governing principle is: Gap analysis exposes omitted, added, and changed capabilities that affect migration work.
Incorrect Answers
A:The shortcut would be dangerous for Views and viewpoints; it is not the particular misconception driving the described Gap analysis method situation.
B:This false belief is about Architecture partitioning. The central misconception is that a baseline-to-target comparison is unnecessary once the target slide is approved.
C:This is also a risky claim, but it directly concerns Stakeholder mapping rather than the error in the current case: A future-state architecture looks attractive but the board cannot tell which capabilities are missing today.
Question 381
During an architecture engagement: An architecture review finds overlapping business functions and a target integration gap, but neither is logged. Which response best addresses the immediate decision?
- Conduct structured baseline-to-target gap analysis and assign dispositions to identified differences.
- Apply migration planning techniques to evaluate benefits, costs, risks, and work-package dependencies.
- Evaluate applicable reference models and adapt useful elements to enterprise requirements.
- Identify, assess, monitor, and respond to architecture risks throughout the engagement.
Explanation
Correct Answer
A:This directly addresses Gap analysis method. Gap analysis exposes omitted, added, and changed capabilities that affect migration work. A useful acceptance check is: Significant gaps are traceable to decisions, work packages, or accepted exceptions. This matters here because an architecture review finds overlapping business functions and a target integration gap, but neither is logged.….
Incorrect Answers
B:Although relevant to Migration planning technique, this is not the most direct response to Gap analysis method. For this decision, what matters is whether significant gaps are traceable to decisions, work packages, or accepted exceptions.
C:This action targets another architecture concern: Reference models. The priority here is Gap analysis method in this situation (An architecture review finds overlapping business functions and a target integration gap, but neither is logged); it leaves the specific acceptance result unaddressed: significant gaps are traceable to decisions, work packages, or accepted exceptions.
D:This proposal belongs primarily to Architecture risk management. It does not show that significant gaps are traceable to decisions, work packages, or accepted exceptions.
Question 382
An architect is asked to explain the following situation: An architecture review finds overlapping business functions and a target integration gap, but neither is logged. Which underlying principle is most relevant?
- A viewpoint specifies conventions for a view; the resulting view represents architecture for identified concerns.
- Gap analysis exposes omitted, added, and changed capabilities that affect migration work.
- Business scenarios help derive architecture requirements from a concrete business problem and its context.
- Architecture Partitioning enables parallel work and reuse while preserving whole-enterprise coherence.

Incorrect Answers
A:This is a legitimate concept for Views and viewpoints; it does not most directly account for An architecture review finds overlapping business functions and a target integration gap, but neither is logged. The important distinction is that gap analysis exposes omitted, added, and changed capabilities that affect migration work.
C:That principle helps reason about Business scenario technique, but the described concern (An architecture review finds overlapping business functions and a target integration gap, but neither is logged) is specifically governed by Gap analysis method. It does not explain gap analysis exposes omitted, added, and changed capabilities that affect migration work.

The important distinction is that gap analysis exposes omitted, added, and changed capabilities that affect migration work.
Question 383
Following the proposed architecture change: An architecture review finds overlapping business functions and a target integration gap, but neither is logged. Which outcome should be verified?
- The scenario connects business actors and events to prioritized, verifiable requirements.

- Significant gaps are traceable to decisions, work packages, or accepted exceptions.
- Each high-influence stakeholder has a mapped concern and suitable architecture view.

Incorrect Answers
A:This result checks another area, Business scenario technique. For This case (An architecture review finds overlapping business functions and a target integration gap, but neither is logged), it does not establish that significant gaps are traceable to decisions, work packages, or accepted exceptions.
B:This would provide assurance for Architecture risk management, not the stated issue (An architecture review finds overlapping business functions and a target integration gap, but neither is logged). It does not show significant gaps are traceable to decisions, work packages, or accepted exceptions.
D:This result checks another area, Stakeholder mapping. For This case (An architecture review finds overlapping business functions and a target integration gap, but neither is logged), it does not establish that significant gaps are traceable to decisions, work packages, or accepted exceptions.
Question 384
A proposed decision is challenged in the following case: An architecture review finds overlapping business functions and a target integration gap, but neither is logged. Which misleading belief must be rejected?

- Independent architecture partitions have no need to coordinate cross-boundary requirements.
- A baseline-to-target comparison is unnecessary once the target slide is approved.

Question 385
During an architecture engagement: An enterprise program ignores uncertain regulatory impacts until solution procurement is complete. Which response best addresses the immediate decision?
- Identify, assess, monitor, and respond to architecture risks throughout the engagement.
- Use stakeholder analysis to map influence, concerns, desired views, and engagement approaches.
- Identify reusable architecture patterns, select those fitting the context, and document their constraints.
- Develop a business scenario with actors, environment, interactions, needs, and measurable results.
