2. What is Architecture in the Context of TOGAF?

• (A) The fundamental organization of a system, embodied in its components, their relationships to each other and the environment, and the principles governing its design and evolution

• (B) A rigorous description of the structure of an enterprise, which comprises enterprise components (business entities), the externally visible properties of those components, and the relationships (e.g. the behavior) between them

• (C) An architecture is the most important, pervasive, top-level, strategic inventions, decisions, and their associated rationales about the overall structure (i.e., essential elements and their relationships) and associated characteristics and behavior

• (D) Architecture is the use of abstractions and models to simplify and communicate complex structures and processes to improve understanding and forecasting

• (E) A formal description of a system, or a detailed plan of the system at a component level to guide its implementation or the structure of components, their inter-relationships, and the principles and guidelines governing their design and evolution over time

3. Which of the following according to TOGAF is NOT a reason to use an Enterprise Architecture Framework?

• (A) It will speed up and simplify architecture development

• (B) It will ensure more complete coverage of the designed solution

• (C) It will make certain that the architecture selected allows for future growth in response to the needs of the business

• (D) Its use may be mandated by federal agencies

• (E) It will ensure compliance and protect the interest of stakeholders
