The Open Group OGEA-103 Practice Test 9
Question 80
Architecture peer review: Two merged firms need an architecture method but copy every artifact from another organization without tailoring. Which assumption, if accepted, most directly leaves this problem unresolved?
- Every architecture engagement must model the entire enterprise at the same granularity.
- A technical model is sufficient for any stakeholder as long as its notation is precise.
- A business capability is merely the product name of the application delivering it today.
- Using the TOGAF standard requires producing every possible artifact without tailoring.
Explanation
Correct Answer
D:This is precisely the false assumption to challenge for Architecture framework. The governing principle is: A framework organizes consistent architecture work and must be adapted to enterprise needs rather than copied mechanically. This matters here because architecture peer review: Two merged firms need an architecture method but copy every artifact from another….
Incorrect Answers
A:This false belief is about Architecture scope. The central misconception is that using the TOGAF standard requires producing every possible artifact without tailoring.
B:This is also a risky claim, but it directly concerns Architecture stakeholders rather than the error in the current case: Two merged firms need an architecture method but copy every artifact from another organization without tailoring.
C:The shortcut would be dangerous for Business capability; it is not the particular misconception driving the described Architecture framework situation (Two merged firms need an architecture method but copy every artifact from another organization without tailoring).
Question 81
Architecture case: A utility rebuilds similar patterns repeatedly and cannot locate generic building blocks suitable for a specific grid program. What should the architect do NEXT to resolve this concern?
- Use the Enterprise Continuum to classify and progress reusable architecture and solution assets toward organization-specific use.
- Adopt and tailor an architecture framework, development method, content structure, and governance approach.
- Establish decision rights, compliance reviews, and escalation routes as part of Architecture Governance.
- Select an iteration approach across and within ADM phases to address new evidence and stakeholder needs.
Explanation
Correct Answer
A:This directly addresses Enterprise Continuum. The Enterprise Continuum helps organize reusable architecture and solution assets by generality and applicability. A useful acceptance check is: Teams find reference assets and show how they were specialized for the target enterprise.
Incorrect Answers
B:This proposal belongs primarily to Architecture framework. It does not show that teams find reference assets and show how they were specialized for the target enterprise.
C:Although relevant to Architecture governance purpose, this is not the most direct response to Enterprise Continuum. For this decision, what matters is whether teams find reference assets and show how they were specialized for the target enterprise.
D:This action targets another architecture concern: Architecture iteration. The priority here is Enterprise Continuum in this situation; it leaves the specific acceptance result unaddressed: teams find reference assets and show how they were specialized for the target enterprise.
Question 82
An architect is asked to explain the following situation: A utility rebuilds similar patterns repeatedly and cannot locate generic building blocks suitable for a specific grid program. Which underlying principle is most relevant?
- Architecture principles are enduring decision guidelines rather than a substitute for detailed requirements.
- The Enterprise Continuum helps organize reusable architecture and solution assets by generality and applicability.
- Architecture requirements need continuous control and traceability throughout the ADM.
- Architecture levels help control breadth and detail across an enterprise Architecture Landscape.
Explanation
Correct Answer
B:This principle addresses Enterprise Continuum. The preferred action is: Use the Enterprise Continuum to classify and progress reusable architecture and solution assets toward organization-specific use. Verify: Teams find reference assets and show how they were specialized for the target enterprise.
Incorrect Answers
A:That principle helps reason about Architecture principles, but the described concern is specifically governed by Enterprise Continuum. It does not explain the Enterprise Continuum helps organize reusable architecture and solution assets by generality and applicability.
C:The statement addresses Architecture requirement. In the present case, a principle for Enterprise Continuum is required: the Enterprise Continuum helps organize reusable architecture and solution assets by generality and applicability.
D:That principle helps reason about Architecture landscape levels, but the described concern is specifically governed by Enterprise Continuum. It does not explain the Enterprise Continuum helps organize reusable architecture and solution assets by generality and applicability.
Question 83
Following the proposed architecture change: A utility rebuilds similar patterns repeatedly and cannot locate generic building blocks suitable for a specific grid program. Which outcome should be verified?
- Strategic goals, segment choices, and capability designs trace without duplicated ownership.
- Teams use coherent methods and artifacts, with deviations justified for the engagement's scope.
- Teams find reference assets and show how they were specialized for the target enterprise.
- The capability map remains meaningful when the application or department responsible for delivery changes.
Explanation
Correct Answer
C:This checks the Enterprise Continuum outcome. The related decision is: Use the Enterprise Continuum to classify and progress reusable architecture and solution assets toward organization-specific use.
Incorrect Answers
A:The observation could be valid elsewhere for Architecture landscape levels, but this case needs more direct Enterprise Continuum evidence: teams find reference assets and show how they were specialized for the target enterprise.
B:This result checks another area, Architecture framework. For This case, it does not establish that teams find reference assets and show how they were specialized for the target enterprise.
D:The observation could be valid elsewhere for Business capability, but this case needs more direct Enterprise Continuum evidence: teams find reference assets and show how they were specialized for the target enterprise.
Question 84
Architecture peer review: A utility rebuilds similar patterns repeatedly and cannot locate generic building blocks suitable for a specific grid program. Which assumption, if accepted, most directly leaves this problem unresolved?
- A target-state diagram alone is an executable migration plan.
- A reusable ABB is necessarily a purchased product already deployed in production.
- Data and application concerns can always be inferred from the technology topology alone.
- The Enterprise Continuum is simply a calendar of project migration milestones.
Explanation
Correct Answer
D:This is precisely the false assumption to challenge for Enterprise Continuum. The governing principle is: The Enterprise Continuum helps organize reusable architecture and solution assets by generality and applicability.
Incorrect Answers
A:This false belief is about Architecture gaps. The central misconception is that the Enterprise Continuum is simply a calendar of project migration milestones.
B:This is also a risky claim, but it directly concerns Architecture building blocks rather than the error in the current case: A utility rebuilds similar patterns repeatedly and cannot locate generic building blocks suitable for a specific grid program.
C:The shortcut would be dangerous for Architecture domains; it is not the particular misconception driving the described Enterprise Continuum situation.
Question 85
Architecture case: A global bank wants to classify generic architecture guidance alongside industry and organization-specific assets. What should the architect do NEXT to resolve this concern?
- Use the Enterprise Continuum to classify and progress reusable architecture and solution assets toward organization-specific use.
