The Open Group OGEA-103 Practice Test 6
Question 50
During design review: A logistics group structures investment choices entirely by application names even though the business ability to manage shipments crosses tools. What is the strongest architectural reasoning for the decision?
- The Enterprise Continuum helps organize reusable architecture and solution assets by generality and applicability.
- A business capability describes what an enterprise can do without prescribing a particular organization or application implementation.
- A framework organizes consistent architecture work and must be adapted to enterprise needs rather than copied mechanically.
- The four TOGAF architecture domains provide complementary perspectives on an integrated enterprise design.
Explanation
Correct Answer
B:This principle addresses Business capability. The preferred action is: Map stable business capabilities and connect them to outcomes, value streams, and investment initiatives. Verify: The capability map remains meaningful when the application or department responsible for delivery changes.
Incorrect Answers
A:This is a legitimate concept for Enterprise Continuum; it does not most directly account for A logistics group structures investment choices entirely by application names even though the business ability to manage shipments crosses tools. The important distinction is that a business capability describes what an enterprise can do without prescribing a particular organization or application implementation.
C:That principle helps reason about Architecture framework, but the described concern is specifically governed by Business capability. It does not explain a business capability describes what an enterprise can do without prescribing a particular organization or application implementation.
D:This is a legitimate concept for Architecture domains; it does not most directly account for A logistics group structures investment choices entirely by application names even though the business ability to manage shipments crosses tools. The important distinction is that a business capability describes what an enterprise can do without prescribing a particular organization or application implementation.
Question 51
A steering committee is checking the result of this engagement: A logistics group structures investment choices entirely by application names even though the business ability to manage shipments crosses tools. What evidence is most persuasive?
- A stakeholder map shows accountable decision-makers and the concerns addressed by each view.
- Every significant baseline-to-target difference has a disposition or planned remediation.
- The capability map remains meaningful when the application or department responsible for delivery changes.
- Business, information, application, and technology decisions link to the same outcomes without unresolved gaps.
Explanation
Correct Answer
C:This checks the Business capability outcome. The related decision is: Map stable business capabilities and connect them to outcomes, value streams, and investment initiatives.
Incorrect Answers
A:This result checks another area, Architecture stakeholders. For This case, it does not establish that the capability map remains meaningful when the application or department responsible for delivery changes.
B:This would provide assurance for Architecture gaps, not the stated issue. It does not show the capability map remains meaningful when the application or department responsible for delivery changes.
D:This result checks another area, Architecture domains. For This case, it does not establish that the capability map remains meaningful when the application or department responsible for delivery changes.
Question 52
Architecture peer review: A logistics group structures investment choices entirely by application names even though the business ability to manage shipments crosses tools. Which assumption, if accepted, most directly leaves this problem unresolved?
- Using the TOGAF standard requires producing every possible artifact without tailoring.
- The Architecture Vision should be deferred until every solution component is designed.
- Every ADM phase must be complete once before any previous phase can be revisited.
- A business capability is merely the product name of the application delivering it today.
Explanation
Correct Answer
D:This is precisely the false assumption to challenge for Business capability. The governing principle is: A business capability describes what an enterprise can do without prescribing a particular organization or application implementation.
Incorrect Answers
A:This is also a risky claim, but it directly concerns Architecture framework rather than the error in the current case: A logistics group structures investment choices entirely by application names even though the business ability to manage shipments crosses tools.
B:The shortcut would be dangerous for Architecture vision; it is not the particular misconception driving the described Business capability situation.
C:This false belief is about Architecture iteration. The central misconception is that a business capability is merely the product name of the application delivering it today.
Question 53
Consider this enterprise-change situation: An insurer compares operational improvements by project budget instead of the business abilities each project enables. What is the most appropriate architecture action?
- Map stable business capabilities and connect them to outcomes, value streams, and investment initiatives.
- Select an iteration approach across and within ADM phases to address new evidence and stakeholder needs.
- Establish relevant architecture principles with rationale and implications and apply them to solution choices.
- Compare baseline and target architecture to identify gaps and connect them to work packages.
Explanation
Correct Answer
A:This directly addresses Business capability. A business capability describes what an enterprise can do without prescribing a particular organization or application implementation.

Question 57
During an architecture engagement: A compliance officer says customer-data disclosure is a concern, and a developer immediately turns it into one technology product requirement. Which response best addresses the immediate decision?
- Capture the underlying stakeholder concern and derive testable architecture requirements through dialogue.
- Agree a concise Architecture Vision that aligns stakeholders on value, boundaries, and the proposed high-level target.
- Agree the architecture scope, level of detail, and planning horizon in relation to stakeholders and the change purpose.
- Separate and reconcile Business, Data, Application, and Technology Architecture concerns for the target change.
Explanation
Correct Answer
A:This directly addresses Stakeholder concern versus requirement. Concerns motivate requirements, but requirements express specific needs or constraints that should be traceable and governed. A useful acceptance check is: The requirements repository links measurable statements to the original stakeholder concerns.
Incorrect Answers
B:This proposal belongs primarily to Architecture vision. It does not show that the requirements repository links measurable statements to the original stakeholder concerns.
C:Although relevant to Architecture scope, this is not the most direct response to Stakeholder concern versus requirement. For this decision, what matters is whether the requirements repository links measurable statements to the original stakeholder concerns.
D:This action targets another architecture concern: Architecture domains. The priority here is Stakeholder concern versus requirement in this situation; it leaves the specific acceptance result unaddressed: the requirements repository links measurable statements to the original stakeholder concerns.
Question 58
An architect is asked to explain the following situation: A compliance officer says customer-data disclosure is a concern, and a developer immediately turns it into one technology product requirement. Which underlying principle is most relevant?

Question 59
Architecture acceptance review: A compliance officer says customer-data disclosure is a concern, and a developer immediately turns it into one technology product requirement. Which evidence would BEST demonstrate that this concern was resolved?
- The architecture log records changed assumptions, resulting iterations, and reconciled outputs.
- Strategic goals, segment choices, and capability designs trace without duplicated ownership.
- The requirements repository links measurable statements to the original stakeholder concerns.
- Architecture decisions cite applicable principles, and recorded exceptions have a clear rationale.
Explanation
Correct Answer
C:This checks the Stakeholder concern versus requirement outcome. The related decision is: Capture the underlying stakeholder concern and derive testable architecture requirements through dialogue.
Incorrect Answers
A:The observation could be valid elsewhere for Architecture iteration, but this case needs more direct Stakeholder concern versus requirement evidence: the requirements repository links measurable statements to the original stakeholder concerns.
B:This result checks another area, Architecture landscape levels. For This case, it does not establish that the requirements repository links measurable statements to the original stakeholder concerns.
D:The observation could be valid elsewhere for Architecture principles, but this case needs more direct Stakeholder concern versus requirement evidence: the requirements repository links measurable statements to the original stakeholder concerns.
Question 60
