In Phase A, you are developing 'Business Scenarios'. What is their primary role?
Show answer details
Correct answer: D
Business Scenarios are a technique to identify and articulate the business problems and requirements. They help ensure the architecture is driven by business needs rather than technical preferences.

Case Study: Global Logistics Corp (GLC) is initiating a digital transformation. In Phase A, the CEO states, 'We must be the Uber of Logistics.' However, the COO warns that their current fleet management system is 20 years old and undocumented.
As the Enterprise Architect, you need to validate the business capability to support this vision. Which step in Phase A is most crucial to avoid setting unrealistic expectations?
Show answer details
Correct answer: D
Evaluating Business Capabilities (and Business Transformation Readiness) in Phase A is critical. While the vision ('Uber of Logistics') is clear, the capability assessment (checking the reality of the 20-year-old system) will highlight the gap between ambition and reality, allowing the scope to be adjusted or risks to be highlighted.
- 3
What are the two primary output documents of Phase A that formalize the agreement between the architecture organization and the sponsor? (Select TWO)
Show answer details
Correct answer: B, D
The Architecture Vision provides the high-level summary of the changes to be made.
The Statement of Architecture Work defines the scope and approach and serves as the contract.
- 4
When confirming the Architecture Vision, you must ensure it aligns with which high-level strategic inputs? (Select THREE)
Show answer details
Correct answer: A, B, D
Drivers (internal or external forces like 'regulatory change' or 'competitor action') dictate why the architecture is needed.
The architecture must enable specific strategic goals (e.g., 'expand into Asian markets').
The architecture must support the fundamental mission and vision of the enterprise.
- 5
In Phase A, you identify a stakeholder who says, 'I don't care how it works, as long as it reduces my operational costs by 20%.' This statement is best classified as:
Show answer details
Correct answer: A
This is a high-level business outcome (Goal/Objective), not a specific system function. It drives the Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) for the architecture.
- 6
A multinational financial institution is establishing a new Enterprise Architecture capability. The Board requires the architecture to strictly adhere to international banking compliance regulations while fostering innovation in fintech services. As the Lead Architect, you are defining the Architecture Principles. Which of the following approaches best ensures these conflicting drivers are balanced according to TOGAF recommendations?
Show answer details
Correct answer: A
According to TOGAF, principles should be robust and complete. When principles conflict (e.g., stability vs. innovation), the framework relies on the trade-off analysis inherent in the principle's Rationale and Implications sections. Creating separate sets creates silos, while prioritizing one set universally undermines the other. The architecture governance process uses these defined implications to resolve specific scenarios.
- 7
You are tailoring the TOGAF ADM for a client that operates in a highly regulated pharmaceutical sector. They have an existing rigorous project management framework (PMBOK-based). Where should the integration between the ADM and the project management framework primarily be defined to ensure architectural artifacts are produced at the right time?
Show answer details
Correct answer: C
The Preliminary Phase is responsible for defining the 'where, what, why, who, and how' of the architecture capability. This includes tailoring the ADM and defining how it interfaces with other enterprise frameworks such as Project Management (PMBOK), Operations, and Strategy.
- 8
A retail organization is moving from a monolithic on-premise ERP to a cloud-native microservices architecture. The CIO is concerned about the 'loss of control' over data. Which element of the Architecture Repository should be prioritized to address this specific concern regarding governance standards?
Show answer details
Correct answer: C
The Standards Information Base (SIB) within the Architecture Repository captures the standards with which the new architecture must comply. This includes industry standards, regulatory obligations, and internal governance standards regarding data sovereignty and control in the cloud.
- 9
When populating the Architecture Repository for a greenfield project, you need to classify assets based on their evolution from generic to specific. Which tool provides the structural classification for this evolution?
Show answer details
Correct answer: C
The Enterprise Continuum provides a method for classifying architecture and solution artifacts as they evolve from generic Foundation Architectures to Organization-Specific Architectures. It structures the Architecture Repository.
- 10
True or False: The Architecture Capability Framework is a set of reference models for vertical industries that must be adopted without modification.
Show answer details
Correct answer: B
False. The Architecture Capability Framework is a set of guidelines, structures, and processes for establishing and operating an architecture function within an enterprise. It is not a set of vertical industry reference models.
