TOGAF® 9.2 Parts and ADM Phases

Which of the following is true about the ADM?

• Since it is the core of TOGAF, it is laid out in Part 1 of TOGAF and it depends on gathering all requirements up front
• The ADM supports an iterative approach to gathering requirements, which means that additional stakeholders may be discovered after Phase A
• The ADM depends on the successful completion of all required Guidelines in Part 3 of TOGAF
• Two of the key deliverables in the TOGAF ADM are the Impact Analysis Requirements and the Design Thinking Document

Which of the following best captures key aspects of Phases A&E?

• Phase A defines the Architecture Vision, while Phase E begins the first complete definition of the Architecture Roadmap
• Phase A addresses Business Transformation Readiness, while Phase E begins the planning for how to mitigate any residual risks identified in Phase A
• Phase A is focused on SBBs, while Phase E begins the consideration of possible ABBs needed to fill Roadmap gaps
• Phases A&E both contribute to the development of Transition Architectures to promote incremental delivery of business value

What is true about Phases E&F of TOGAF's ADM?

• They are also in Part 3 of TOGAF because of the many artifacts described there for doing roadmapping
• They are primarily about Architecture Governance since that is a key part about the essential collaboration needed to get the Architecture Roadmap approved
• The initial Architecture Roadmap is done in Phase E and the final one is done in Phase F
• Implementation planning first begins in Phase F, which is called Transition Planning

What is true about the Phase H in TOGAF?

• It is part of the Architecture Governance Iteration with Phase G and also part of the Architecture Capability Iteration with the Preliminary Phase and Phase A
• It has nothing to do with Governance because it is called Architecture Change Management
• One must always go from Phase H to the Preliminary Phase in order to get the Architecture Board there to issue a Request for Architecture Work
• It represents the end of the normal planning cycle to ensure the Architecture Roadmap and Implementation & Migration Plan are complete before beginning implementation

What is true about Part 4 of TOGAF

• It connects conceptually the 7th part of TOGAF since it depends on the governance of the techniques
• It is focused on ABBs and SBBs, especially ones in the Common Systems Architecture
• It addresses deliverables, which contain artifacts, which describe building blocks included in the content metamodel
• Called the Architecture Capability Framework, it focuses on the capability to effective model the baseline and target reference models

Which is true about ADM Phases B-D?

• They all are mainly focused on defining the gaps between the baseline and target architectures in the different domains
• They each have the same perspective, which is that of the more powerful business stakeholders in charge of key business services
• They depend on having a complete set of Architecture Requirements defined in Phase A in the Statement of Architecture Work
• They depend on using an Agile Waterfall Approach and COBIT, as well as TOGAF's Industry Reference Model

Which of the following is true about Phase A of the ADM?

• It is critical to produce a Stakeholder Management Deliverable for effective Architecture Governance Reviews 
• It involves Stakeholder Management and creating an Architecture Vision that could lead to a Statement of Architecture Work
• It depends on first doing the Opportunities and Solutions Phase and the first draft of Architecture Change Management
• It depends on the completion of a Business Scenario workshop, which is mandatory

Which of the following EA benefits are noted in Part 1 of TOGAF?

• EA is a transformation accelerator and collaboration enhancement discipline because of increased modeling
• EA can lower risk, increase reliability, and enhance return on investment while helping enhance the procurement process
• There is no external driver for it but is recognized internally by more and more organizations that it helps justify Shadow IT to enhance productivity
• It rapidly increases the credibility of the CIO as a business leader and technology expert

Which of the following relates to Part 2 of TOGAF?

• It addresses which architecture techniques can help do Phase A in the ADM 
• It includes the ADM Phase called Data Architecture
• ADM Phases in it are organized by Objectives, Approach, Inputs, Steps, and Outputs
• It lists the artifacts applicable to each of the ADM Phases

Which of the following relates to Part 6 of TOGAF?

• It is named the Architecture Governance Framework

• The key deliverable associated with it is the Architecture Definition Document

• It includes sections on Architecture Maturity and a Skills Framework

• it addresses Iteration and Partitioning as separate chapters, along with Security and SOA
