The Open Group OGEA-103 Practice Test 67
Question 660
Architecture peer review: An architecture team confuses what the enterprise wants with what has actually been implemented. Which assumption, if accepted, most directly leaves this problem unresolved?
- A business capability is merely the product name of the application delivering it today.
- A broad concern and an implementable requirement are always the same thing.
- A completed ADM phase can never be revisited under any circumstances.
- The Solutions Landscape is identical to the initial Architecture Vision document.
Explanation
Correct Answer
D:This is precisely the false assumption to challenge for Solutions Landscape. The governing principle is: Solutions Landscape describes implemented solutions and how they realize architecture decisions.
Incorrect Answers
A:This false belief is about Business capability. The central misconception is that the Solutions Landscape is identical to the initial Architecture Vision document.
B:This is also a risky claim, but it directly concerns Stakeholder concern versus requirement rather than the error in the current case: An architecture team confuses what the enterprise wants with what has actually been implemented.
C:The shortcut would be dangerous for Continuous architecture iteration; it is not the particular misconception driving the described Solutions Landscape situation (An architecture team confuses what the enterprise wants with what has actually been implemented).
Question 661
During an architecture engagement: A portfolio group wants to compare deployed solution components with the target architecture's required building blocks. Which response best addresses the immediate decision?
- Record implemented Solution Building Blocks in the Solutions Landscape and trace them to architecture targets.
- Select an appropriate catalog, matrix, or diagram artifact to communicate particular architecture information.
- Organize architecture information into an accessible, governed Architecture Repository.
- Maintain an Architecture Landscape organized by level, time, and relevant architecture scope.
Explanation
Correct Answer
A:This directly addresses Solutions Landscape. Solutions Landscape describes implemented solutions and how they realize architecture decisions. A useful acceptance check is: Implemented components are traceable to approved capabilities, dependencies, and lifecycle status. This matters here because a portfolio group wants to compare deployed solution components with the target architecture's required building….
Incorrect Answers
B:This action targets another architecture concern: Architecture artifact. The priority here is Solutions Landscape in this situation; it leaves the specific acceptance result unaddressed: implemented components are traceable to approved capabilities, dependencies, and lifecycle status.
C:This proposal belongs primarily to Architecture Repository. It does not show that implemented components are traceable to approved capabilities, dependencies, and lifecycle status.
D:Although relevant to Architecture Landscape, this is not the most direct response to Solutions Landscape. For this decision, what matters is whether implemented components are traceable to approved capabilities, dependencies, and lifecycle status.
Question 662
Architecture reasoning: A portfolio group wants to compare deployed solution components with the target architecture's required building blocks. Which TOGAF concept MOST directly explains the appropriate response?
- Architecture artifacts are structured work products that describe architecture from useful perspectives.
- Solutions Landscape describes implemented solutions and how they realize architecture decisions.
- The Architecture Requirements Repository supports continuous requirements management across the ADM.
- The repository stores and manages architecture assets across reference, governance, and project contexts.

Incorrect Answers
A:The statement addresses Architecture artifact. In the present case, a principle for Solutions Landscape is required: solutions Landscape describes implemented solutions and how they realize architecture decisions.
C:This is a legitimate concept for Requirements Repository; it does not most directly account for A portfolio group wants to compare deployed solution components with the target architecture's required building blocks. The important distinction is that solutions Landscape describes implemented solutions and how they realize architecture decisions.
D:The statement addresses Architecture Repository. In the present case, a principle for Solutions Landscape is required: solutions Landscape describes implemented solutions and how they realize architecture decisions.
Question 663
A steering committee is checking the result of this engagement: A portfolio group wants to compare deployed solution components with the target architecture's required building blocks. What evidence is most persuasive?
- The chosen artifact makes the required objects and relationships understandable to its audience.
- A requirement's source, disposition, status, and affected designs are retrievable.
- Implemented components are traceable to approved capabilities, dependencies, and lifecycle status.
- Asset descriptions show generality, adaptations, and target applicability.
Explanation
Correct Answer
C:This checks the Solutions Landscape outcome. The related decision is: Record implemented Solution Building Blocks in the Solutions Landscape and trace them to architecture targets. This matters here because a steering committee is checking the result of this engagement: A portfolio group wants to compare deployed solution….
Incorrect Answers
A:This would provide assurance for Architecture artifact, not the stated issue. It does not show implemented components are traceable to approved capabilities, dependencies, and lifecycle status.
B:The observation could be valid elsewhere for Requirements Repository, but this case needs more direct Solutions Landscape evidence: implemented components are traceable to approved capabilities, dependencies, and lifecycle status.
D:This would provide assurance for Enterprise Continuum classification, not the stated issue. It does not show implemented components are traceable to approved capabilities, dependencies, and lifecycle status.
Question 664
A proposed decision is challenged in the following case: A portfolio group wants to compare deployed solution components with the target architecture's required building blocks. Which misleading belief must be rejected?
- An Architecture Repository is only a storage directory for source code binaries.
- An ABB and an SBB are interchangeable names for the same already-procured server.
- An unverified product advertisement automatically becomes an enterprise technology standard.
- The Solutions Landscape is identical to the initial Architecture Vision document.

Incorrect Answers
A:The shortcut would be dangerous for Architecture Repository; it is not the particular misconception driving the described Solutions Landscape situation.
B:This false belief is about Architecture building blocks mapping. The central misconception is that the Solutions Landscape is identical to the initial Architecture Vision document.
C:This is also a risky claim, but it directly concerns Standards Information Base rather than the error in the current case: A portfolio group wants to compare deployed solution components with the target architecture's required building blocks.
Question 665
Consider this enterprise-change situation: A retail bank acquires two fintech firms while its business planning and delivery portfolio already use different decision cycles. The chief architect must integrate change direction without establishing a parallel strategy function. What is the most appropriate architecture action?
- Align Architecture Capability governance and decision points with enterprise strategy, portfolio management, and existing accountability frameworks.
- Capture material security, risk, and regulatory concerns in Phase A and state how subsequent architecture work will address them.
- Create lean enterprise architecture guardrails and iteration checkpoints that support autonomous product delivery.
- Develop and approve relevant Business Architecture before refining Data, Application, and Technology choices.
Explanation
Correct Answer
A:This directly addresses Strategic operating change. The chief architect must integrate change direction without establishing a parallel strategy function.
