The Open Group OGEA-103 Practice Test 77
Question 760
A proposed decision is challenged in the following case: A state licensing system must phase legacy retirement while preserving statutory deadlines and a temporary hybrid operating model. Which misleading belief must be rejected?
- Requirements approved in Phase A cannot legitimately change after an architecture phase has begun.
- A platform brand's advertised uptime guarantees the complete enterprise recovery target without design validation.
- The architecture team should choose the fastest proposal and defer inconvenient stakeholder concerns to operations.
- Work packages should be delivered in random order as long as each has a named project manager.
Explanation
Correct Answer
D:This is precisely the false assumption to challenge for Delivery work package sequencing. The governing principle is: Phases E and F turn architecture gaps into options, dependencies, valued work packages and a feasible migration sequence. This matters here because a proposed decision is challenged in the following case: A state licensing system must phase legacy retirement while….
Incorrect Answers
A:The shortcut would be dangerous for Requirements traceability in iteration; it is not the particular misconception driving the described Delivery work package sequencing situation.
B:This false belief is about Technology architecture resilience. The central misconception is that work packages should be delivered in random order as long as each has a named project manager.
C:This is also a risky claim, but it directly concerns Competing stakeholder priorities rather than the error in the current case: A state licensing system must phase legacy retirement while preserving statutory deadlines and a temporary hybrid operating model.
Question 761
Architecture case: A transformation supplier substitutes an unapproved messaging platform during delivery and cites budget pressure, while the design authority has no review agreement. What should the architect do NEXT to resolve this concern?
- Use an Architecture Contract, scheduled compliance reviews, and controlled dispensation decisions for implementation.
- Define target Data Architecture semantics, ownership, lifecycle, and exchange constraints before selecting integration products.
- Translate nonfunctional requirements into target technology services, resilience patterns, and demonstrable recovery constraints.
- Develop and approve relevant Business Architecture before refining Data, Application, and Technology choices.
Explanation
Correct Answer
A:This directly addresses Architecture implementation governance. Phase G ensures delivery conforms to architecture decisions or has an accountable, approved exception. A useful acceptance check is: Compliance evidence and any time-bounded dispensations are accepted by the governance authority.
Incorrect Answers
B:This action targets another architecture concern: Data architecture tradeoff. The priority here is Architecture implementation governance in this situation; it leaves the specific acceptance result unaddressed: compliance evidence and any time-bounded dispensations are accepted by the governance authority.
C:This proposal belongs primarily to Technology architecture resilience. It does not show that compliance evidence and any time-bounded dispensations are accepted by the governance authority.
D:Although relevant to Business versus technology sequencing, this is not the most direct response to Architecture implementation governance. For this decision, what matters is whether compliance evidence and any time-bounded dispensations are accepted by the governance authority.
Question 762
During design review: A transformation supplier substitutes an unapproved messaging platform during delivery and cites budget pressure, while the design authority has no review agreement. What is the strongest architectural reasoning for the decision?
- Business objectives and operating capabilities should inform information, application, and technology architecture decisions.
- Phase G ensures delivery conforms to architecture decisions or has an accountable, approved exception.
- An EA capability guides coordinated enterprise change while complementing other management and governance disciplines.
- Stakeholder engagement supports balanced architectural decisions rather than treating the loudest interest as the only valid requirement.
Explanation
Correct Answer
B:This principle addresses Architecture implementation governance. The preferred action is: Use an Architecture Contract, scheduled compliance reviews, and controlled dispensation decisions for implementation. Verify: Compliance evidence and any time-bounded dispensations are accepted by the governance authority.
Incorrect Answers
A:The statement addresses Business versus technology sequencing. In the present case, a principle for Architecture implementation governance is required: phase G ensures delivery conforms to architecture decisions or has an accountable, approved exception.
C:This is a legitimate concept for Strategic operating change; it does not most directly account for A transformation supplier substitutes an unapproved messaging platform during delivery and cites budget pressure, while the design authority has no review agreement. The important distinction is that phase G ensures delivery conforms to architecture decisions or has an accountable, approved exception.
D:The statement addresses Competing stakeholder priorities. In the present case, a principle for Architecture implementation governance is required: phase G ensures delivery conforms to architecture decisions or has an accountable, approved exception.
Question 763
Architecture acceptance review: A transformation supplier substitutes an unapproved messaging platform during delivery and cites budget pressure, while the design authority has no review agreement. Which evidence would BEST demonstrate that this concern was resolved?
- Resilience tests and network access restrictions trace to approved architecture requirements.
- Increment decisions retain traceability to common principles, and deviations are surfaced early for resolution.
- Compliance evidence and any time-bounded dispensations are accepted by the governance authority.
- Service ownership, interactions, and unresolved integration gaps are documented for migration planning.
Explanation
Correct Answer
C:This checks the Architecture implementation governance outcome. The related decision is: Use an Architecture Contract, scheduled compliance reviews, and controlled dispensation decisions for implementation.
Incorrect Answers
A:This would provide assurance for Technology architecture resilience, not the stated issue. It does not show compliance evidence and any time-bounded dispensations are accepted by the governance authority.
B:The observation could be valid elsewhere for Digital agility and governance, but this case needs more direct Architecture implementation governance evidence: compliance evidence and any time-bounded dispensations are accepted by the governance authority.
D:This would provide assurance for Application integration development, not the stated issue. It does not show compliance evidence and any time-bounded dispensations are accepted by the governance authority.
Question 764
Architecture peer review: A transformation supplier substitutes an unapproved messaging platform during delivery and cites budget pressure, while the design authority has no review agreement. Which assumption, if accepted, most directly leaves this problem unresolved?
- Requirements approved in Phase A cannot legitimately change after an architecture phase has begun.
- Work packages should be delivered in random order as long as each has a named project manager.
- The architecture team should choose the fastest proposal and defer inconvenient stakeholder concerns to operations.
- After the solution contract is signed, every subsequent architecture deviation is automatically approved.

Question 765
Architecture case: An international payments rollout must allow one justified local deviation but still comply with shared enterprise interfaces. What should the architect do NEXT to resolve this concern?
- Use an Architecture Contract, scheduled compliance reviews, and controlled dispensation decisions for implementation.
- Translate nonfunctional requirements into target technology services, resilience patterns, and demonstrable recovery constraints.
- Baseline the changed requirement, assess impacts across prior/current ADM phases, and update the Requirements Repository.
- Define target Data Architecture semantics, ownership, lifecycle, and exchange constraints before selecting integration products.

Question 766
During design review: An international payments rollout must allow one justified local deviation but still comply with shared enterprise interfaces. What is the strongest architectural reasoning for the decision?
- Multiple stakeholders can have conflicting but legitimate concerns; selected viewpoints make trade-offs explicit.
- Phase G ensures delivery conforms to architecture decisions or has an accountable, approved exception.
- Requirements Management is continuous and manages change and conflict across the architecture cycle.
- Stakeholder Management is continuous and needs meaningful communication as architecture decisions evolve.

Question 769
Architecture case: A security regulation changes during a long migration, and architects must decide whether to revise individual views or begin a substantial new architecture cycle. What should the architect do NEXT to resolve this concern?
- Assess change impact and classify the appropriate incremental, maintenance, or major architecture response under Phase H.
- Align Architecture Capability governance and decision points with enterprise strategy, portfolio management, and existing accountability frameworks.
- Map stakeholders and concerns, tailor relevant views, and agree a structured engagement and decision process.
- Model application responsibilities and interactions and reconcile gaps against the required business capabilities and data flows.
Explanation
Correct Answer
A:This directly addresses Change classification response. Architecture Change Management keeps architectures relevant by assessing change drivers and the scale of impact. A useful acceptance check is: The change record identifies affected baselines, required iteration, risks, and the approving authority.
