Case Study Scenario:
RetailCo is implementing a new ERP system.
During Phase E (Opportunities and Solutions), you identify three distinct implementation options:
- Big Bang replacement of all legacy systems.
- Phased replacement by region.
- Parallel run for 6 months.
Management prefers Option 1 for speed, but Operations fears Option 1 for risk.
Which technique should you use to objectively compare these options and present a recommendation?
Show answer details
Correct answer: C
Architecture Trade-off Analysis (often using a Trade-off Table) allows you to score each option against criteria like Risk, Cost, Speed, and Business Disruption. This provides an objective basis for the decision, highlighting that Option 1 has high risk despite high speed.

What is the primary function of the 'Architecture Repository' in the TOGAF framework?
Show answer details
Correct answer: B
The Architecture Repository is the storage area for all architectural outputs (artifacts, deliverables), inputs (reference models, standards), and process states (Governance Log). It allows for retrieval and reuse of assets.
- 3
You are creating a Value Stream Map in Phase B. Which of the following best describes the 'Value Stream' concept in TOGAF 10?
Show answer details
Correct answer: C
In TOGAF 10 Business Architecture, a Value Stream depicts how value is delivered to a stakeholder. It is distinct from a business process (which is more detailed and operational). It provides a high-level view of how the organization delivers on its value proposition.
- 4
When mapping stakeholders in Phase A using a Power/Interest Grid, how should you manage a stakeholder with 'High Power' but 'Low Interest'?
Show answer details
Correct answer: D
Stakeholders with High Power can disrupt the project if they become dissatisfied, but their Low Interest means they don't want detailed updates. The strategy is to 'Keep Satisfied'—engage them enough to ensure buy-in without overwhelming them.
- 5
Which TOGAF ADM phase is primarily responsible for ensuring that the implementation projects conform to the target architecture and for handling architecture change requests during deployment?
Show answer details
Correct answer: B
Phase G (Implementation Governance) provides architectural oversight for the implementation. It produces Compliance Assessments and handles change requests to ensure the solution being built matches the design.

A Lead Enterprise Architect is explaining the structural changes in the TOGAF Standard, 10th Edition to a team of junior architects. The Lead Architect emphasizes that the standard is now divided into two main components to better separate universal concepts from evolving best practices. Which two components correctly identify this high-level structure?
Show answer details
Correct answer: D
The TOGAF Standard, 10th Edition is explicitly restructured into the TOGAF Fundamental Content (containing the core, stable concepts like the ADM) and the TOGAF Series Guides (containing specific, evolving advice on topics like Security, Agile, and Business Architecture).
- 7
During Phase A: Architecture Vision, a manufacturing firm identifies that they must comply with a new environmental regulation (ISO 14001) within 12 months. Failure to do so will result in significant fines. How should this requirement be classified in the Architecture Vision?
Show answer details
Correct answer: C
Constraints are external factors that limit the enterprise's freedom of action. A mandatory regulatory compliance deadline with financial penalties is a definitive external constraint that the architecture must satisfy, distinguishing it from internal business goals or guiding principles.
- 8
An organization is adopting an Agile delivery model while maintaining TOGAF for strategic planning. The Chief Architect needs to integrate the ADM with Scrum sprints. In this context, which ADM phase is MOST closely aligned with the 'Backlog Refinement' and 'Sprint Planning' activities where architectural requirements are translated into user stories?
Show answer details
Correct answer: C
Phase G (Implementation Governance) is where the architecture guides the implementation. In an Agile context, this governance manifests as participating in backlog refinement and sprint planning to ensure the user stories and epics align with the architectural constraints and compliance requirements defined in the Architecture Contract.
- 9
Which of the following best describes the change regarding the Technical Reference Model (TRM) and the Integrated Information Infrastructure Reference Model (III-RM) in the TOGAF Standard, 10th Edition?
Show answer details
Correct answer: C
In the 10th Edition, specific reference models like TRM and III-RM were moved out of the core Fundamental Content. They are now considered examples of reference models and are housed in the Series Guides (part of the TOGAF Library), reflecting the shift towards a more modular standard where the core is framework-agnostic.
- 10
You are creating a Business Architecture for a global logistics company. You are currently mapping 'Strategy' to 'Capability' to ensure the architecture supports the business goals. Which concept from the TOGAF Series Guide: Business Models is BEST used to depict how value is exchanged between the enterprise and its various stakeholders?
Show answer details
Correct answer: B
The Business Model Canvas (or similar business model diagrams) is specifically designed to show the logic of how an organization creates, delivers, and captures value, including the value exchanges between the enterprise and its customers/partners. While Value Streams show the internal flow, the Business Model focuses on the value proposition and exchange.
