The Open Group OGEA-103 Practice Test 60
Question 590
Architecture reasoning: An architecture team cannot determine which work products require stakeholder agreement and formal delivery. Which TOGAF concept MOST directly explains the appropriate response?
- The Enterprise Continuum offers a classification approach for reusable architecture and solutions.
- A deliverable is an explicitly reviewed or contracted work product and may contain multiple artifacts.
- The repository stores and manages architecture assets across reference, governance, and project contexts.
- ABBs define capabilities; SBBs represent implementation components that realize those capabilities.
Explanation
Correct Answer
B:This principle addresses Architecture deliverable. The preferred action is: Distinguish formal architecture deliverables from the artifacts they contain or reference. Verify: The delivery checklist identifies required documents, owners, and included architecture artifacts. This matters here because architecture reasoning: An architecture team cannot determine which work products require stakeholder agreement and….
Incorrect Answers
A:The statement addresses Enterprise Continuum classification. In the present case (An architecture team cannot determine which work products require stakeholder agreement and formal delivery), a principle for Architecture deliverable is required: a deliverable is an explicitly reviewed or contracted work product and may contain multiple artifacts.
C:This is a legitimate concept for Architecture Repository; it does not most directly account for An architecture team cannot determine which work products require stakeholder agreement and formal delivery. The important distinction is that a deliverable is an explicitly reviewed or contracted work product and may contain multiple artifacts.
D:The statement addresses Architecture building blocks mapping. In the present case (An architecture team cannot determine which work products require stakeholder agreement and formal delivery), a principle for Architecture deliverable is required: a deliverable is an explicitly reviewed or contracted work product and may contain multiple artifacts.
Question 591
A steering committee is checking the result of this engagement: An architecture team cannot determine which work products require stakeholder agreement and formal delivery. What evidence is most persuasive?
- A requirement's source, disposition, status, and affected designs are retrievable.
- Each selected solution component has a trace to a required architecture capability.
- The delivery checklist identifies required documents, owners, and included architecture artifacts.
- Teams can locate authoritative assets with ownership and revision history.

Correct Answer
C:This checks the Architecture deliverable outcome. The related decision is: Distinguish formal architecture deliverables from the artifacts they contain or reference.

Incorrect Answers
A:This would provide assurance for Requirements Repository, not the stated issue (An architecture team cannot determine which work products require stakeholder agreement and formal delivery). It does not show the delivery checklist identifies required documents, owners, and included architecture artifacts.
B:The observation could be valid elsewhere for Architecture building blocks mapping, but this case (An architecture team cannot determine which work products require stakeholder agreement and formal delivery) needs more direct Architecture deliverable evidence: the delivery checklist identifies required documents, owners, and included architecture artifacts.
D:This would provide assurance for Architecture Repository, not the stated issue (An architecture team cannot determine which work products require stakeholder agreement and formal delivery). It does not show the delivery checklist identifies required documents, owners, and included architecture artifacts.
Question 592
A proposed decision is challenged in the following case: An architecture team cannot determine which work products require stakeholder agreement and formal delivery. Which misleading belief must be rejected?
- Requirements can be discarded once a target diagram is published.
- The Architecture Landscape is solely a list of purchased software licenses.
- An Architecture Repository is only a storage directory for source code binaries.
- Any individual diagram automatically becomes a separately contracted deliverable.
Explanation
Correct Answer
D:This is precisely the false assumption to challenge for Architecture deliverable. The governing principle is: A deliverable is an explicitly reviewed or contracted work product and may contain multiple artifacts. This matters here because a proposed decision is challenged in the following case: An architecture team cannot determine which work products….
Incorrect Answers
A:The shortcut would be dangerous for Requirements Repository; it is not the particular misconception driving the described Architecture deliverable situation (An architecture team cannot determine which work products require stakeholder agreement and formal delivery).
B:This false belief is about Architecture Landscape. The central misconception is that any individual diagram automatically becomes a separately contracted deliverable. This matters here because a proposed decision is challenged in the following case: An architecture team cannot determine which work products….
C:This is also a risky claim, but it directly concerns Architecture Repository rather than the error in the current case: An architecture team cannot determine which work products require stakeholder agreement and formal delivery.
Question 593
During an architecture engagement: A solution team assumes all catalogs, matrices, and diagrams are different names for architecture deliverables. Which response best addresses the immediate decision?
- Select an appropriate catalog, matrix, or diagram artifact to communicate particular architecture information.
- Maintain architecture requirements in the dedicated requirements repository with traceability and version history.
- Record implemented Solution Building Blocks in the Solutions Landscape and trace them to architecture targets.
- Distinguish formal architecture deliverables from the artifacts they contain or reference.
Explanation
Correct Answer
A:This directly addresses Architecture artifact. Architecture artifacts are structured work products that describe architecture from useful perspectives. A useful acceptance check is: The chosen artifact makes the required objects and relationships understandable to its audience.
Incorrect Answers
B:This action targets another architecture concern: Requirements Repository. The priority here is Architecture artifact in this situation; it leaves the specific acceptance result unaddressed: the chosen artifact makes the required objects and relationships understandable to its audience.
C:This proposal belongs primarily to Solutions Landscape. It does not show that the chosen artifact makes the required objects and relationships understandable to its audience.
D:Although relevant to Architecture deliverable, this is not the most direct response to Architecture artifact. For this decision, what matters is whether the chosen artifact makes the required objects and relationships understandable to its audience.
Question 594
Architecture reasoning: A solution team assumes all catalogs, matrices, and diagrams are different names for architecture deliverables. Which TOGAF concept MOST directly explains the appropriate response?

- The Architecture Requirements Repository supports continuous requirements management across the ADM.
- Solutions Landscape describes implemented solutions and how they realize architecture decisions.

Question 595
Architecture acceptance review: A solution team assumes all catalogs, matrices, and diagrams are different names for architecture deliverables. Which evidence would BEST demonstrate that this concern was resolved?
