The Open Group OGEA-103 Practice Test 8
Question 70
An architect is asked to explain the following situation: A transport company confuses a logical integration function with one supplier's deployment artifact. Which underlying principle is most relevant?
- The Enterprise Continuum helps organize reusable architecture and solution assets by generality and applicability.
- ABBs describe required architecture capabilities, while SBBs describe solution components that implement capabilities.
- The four TOGAF architecture domains provide complementary perspectives on an integrated enterprise design.
- Architecture principles are enduring decision guidelines rather than a substitute for detailed requirements.
Explanation
Correct Answer
B:This principle addresses Architecture building blocks. The preferred action is: Separate capability-level Architecture Building Blocks from candidate Solution Building Blocks that realize them. Verify: The required capabilities map to candidate solution implementations without hard-coding vendors into the capability definition. This matters here because an architect is asked to explain the following situation: A transport company confuses a logical integration….
Incorrect Answers
A:This is a legitimate concept for Enterprise Continuum; it does not most directly account for A transport company confuses a logical integration function with one supplier's deployment artifact. The important distinction is that aBBs describe required architecture capabilities, while SBBs describe solution components that implement capabilities.
C:That principle helps reason about Architecture domains, but the described concern is specifically governed by Architecture building blocks. It does not explain aBBs describe required architecture capabilities, while SBBs describe solution components that implement capabilities.
D:This is a legitimate concept for Architecture principles; it does not most directly account for A transport company confuses a logical integration function with one supplier's deployment artifact. The important distinction is that aBBs describe required architecture capabilities, while SBBs describe solution components that implement capabilities.
Question 71
Architecture acceptance review: A transport company confuses a logical integration function with one supplier's deployment artifact. Which evidence would BEST demonstrate that this concern was resolved?
- Strategic goals, segment choices, and capability designs trace without duplicated ownership.
- The architecture log records changed assumptions, resulting iterations, and reconciled outputs.
- The required capabilities map to candidate solution implementations without hard-coding vendors into the capability definition.
- Business, information, application, and technology decisions link to the same outcomes without unresolved gaps.
Explanation
Correct Answer
C:This checks the Architecture building blocks outcome. The related decision is: Separate capability-level Architecture Building Blocks from candidate Solution Building Blocks that realize them. This matters here because architecture acceptance review: A transport company confuses a logical integration function with one supplier's….
Incorrect Answers
A:This result checks another area, Architecture landscape levels. For This case, it does not establish that the required capabilities map to candidate solution implementations without hard-coding vendors into the capability definition.
B:This would provide assurance for Architecture iteration, not the stated issue. It does not show the required capabilities map to candidate solution implementations without hard-coding vendors into the capability definition. This matters here because architecture acceptance review: A transport company confuses a logical integration function with one supplier's….
D:This result checks another area, Architecture domains. For This case, it does not establish that the required capabilities map to candidate solution implementations without hard-coding vendors into the capability definition.
Question 72
A proposed decision is challenged in the following case: A transport company confuses a logical integration function with one supplier's deployment artifact. Which misleading belief must be rejected?
- A broad concern and an implementable requirement are always the same thing.
- A single diagram at one level is enough for strategic, segment, and capability planning.
- Every architecture engagement must model the entire enterprise at the same granularity.
- A reusable ABB is necessarily a purchased product already deployed in production.
Explanation
Correct Answer
D:This is precisely the false assumption to challenge for Architecture building blocks. The governing principle is: ABBs describe required architecture capabilities, while SBBs describe solution components that implement capabilities. This matters here because a proposed decision is challenged in the following case: A transport company confuses a logical integration function….
Incorrect Answers
A:This is also a risky claim, but it directly concerns Stakeholder concern versus requirement rather than the error in the current case: A transport company confuses a logical integration function with one supplier's deployment artifact.
B:The shortcut would be dangerous for Architecture landscape levels; it is not the particular misconception driving the described Architecture building blocks situation.
C:This false belief is about Architecture scope. The central misconception is that a reusable ABB is necessarily a purchased product already deployed in production.
Question 73
During an architecture engagement: A new architecture office uses unconnected slide templates and cannot determine what method or content expectations teams share. Which response best addresses the immediate decision?
- Adopt and tailor an architecture framework, development method, content structure, and governance approach.
- Use the Enterprise Continuum to classify and progress reusable architecture and solution assets toward organization-specific use.
- Map stable business capabilities and connect them to outcomes, value streams, and investment initiatives.
- Agree the architecture scope, level of detail, and planning horizon in relation to stakeholders and the change purpose.
Explanation
Correct Answer
A:This directly addresses Architecture framework. A framework organizes consistent architecture work and must be adapted to enterprise needs rather than copied mechanically. A useful acceptance check is: Teams use coherent methods and artifacts, with deviations justified for the engagement's scope.
Incorrect Answers
B:Although relevant to Enterprise Continuum, this is not the most direct response to Architecture framework. For this decision, what matters is whether teams use coherent methods and artifacts, with deviations justified for the engagement's scope.
C:This action targets another architecture concern: Business capability. The priority here is Architecture framework in this situation; it leaves the specific acceptance result unaddressed: teams use coherent methods and artifacts, with deviations justified for the engagement's scope.
D:This proposal belongs primarily to Architecture scope. It does not show that teams use coherent methods and artifacts, with deviations justified for the engagement's scope.
Question 74
Architecture reasoning: A new architecture office uses unconnected slide templates and cannot determine what method or content expectations teams share. Which TOGAF concept MOST directly explains the appropriate response?
- Enterprise boundaries and the scope of architecture work are selected to fit the purpose rather than fixed to one legal entity or depth.
- A framework organizes consistent architecture work and must be adapted to enterprise needs rather than copied mechanically.
- Gap analysis turns architecture differences into change implications that can inform opportunities and migration work.
- Architecture principles are enduring decision guidelines rather than a substitute for detailed requirements.
