What is the primary goal of TOGAF?

• To provide a complete software development lifecycle

• To support the creation of an enterprise architecture

• To manage IT services in an organization

• To replace all existing frameworks

Answer explanation

The primary goal of TOGAF is to support the creation of an enterprise architecture, providing a structured approach to design, plan, implement, and govern enterprise information architecture.

Which component of TOGAF describes the process for architecture development?

• Architecture Repository

• Architecture Development Method (ADM)

• Enterprise Continuum

• Content Framework

Answer explanation

The Architecture Development Method (ADM) is the core component of TOGAF that outlines the process for developing and managing architecture. It provides a structured approach to architecture development.

Which phase of the ADM focuses on understanding business goals?

• Phase C: Information Systems Architectures

• Phase A: Architecture Vision

• Phase D: Technology Architecture

• Preliminary Phase

Answer explanation

Phase A: Architecture Vision is focused on understanding business goals, establishing the framework for the architecture development process, and aligning it with the organization's objectives.

In which phase of the ADM are the target architectures defined?

• Phase B, C, and D

• Preliminary Phase

• Phase E: Opportunities and Solutions

• Phase G: Implementation Governance

Answer explanation

Target architectures are defined in Phase B (Business Architecture), Phase C (Information Systems Architectures), and Phase D (Technology Architecture) of the ADM, making 'Phase B, C, and D' the correct choice.

What is the purpose of the Preliminary Phase?

• To conduct gap analysis

• To govern the implementation

• To establish the architecture framework and principles

• To define the technology roadmap

Answer explanation

The purpose of the Preliminary Phase is to establish the architecture framework and principles, which provide a foundation for the project's structure and guide subsequent phases.

What is the TOGAF Architecture Repository?

• A database of all company projects

• A structured collection of architectural artifacts

• A tool for managing IT services

• A process to identify business goals

Answer explanation

The TOGAF Architecture Repository is a structured collection of architectural artifacts, which includes models, patterns, and other documentation that support the architecture development process.

Which TOGAF document defines the deliverables of the ADM?

• Capability Framework

• Architecture Principles

Answer explanation

The Architecture Content Framework defines deliverables and artifact content created during the ADM phases.

What does the Enterprise Continuum provide?

• A tool to develop technology-specific architectures

• A classification system for reusable architecture assets

• A method for managing projects

• A guideline for stakeholder engagement

Answer explanation

The Enterprise Continuum serves as a classification system for reusable architecture assets, helping organizations categorize and leverage their architectural components effectively.

Which is a key deliverable of Phase A: Architecture Vision?

• Architecture Requirements Specification

• Solution Building Blocks

• Architecture Vision Document

• Technology Architecture

Answer explanation

The key deliverable of Phase A: Architecture Vision is the Architecture Vision Document, which outlines the overall vision and goals for the architecture, guiding subsequent phases.
