Which of the following best describes the relationship between business models and business architecture?
Correct Answer: B
A business model describes how an organization creates, delivers, and captures value for its stakeholders3. A business architecture breaks a business model down into the core functional elements that describe how the business works, such as the value proposition, the customer segments, the channels, the revenue streams, the cost structure, the key resources, the key activities, and the key partnerships3.
OGBA-101 Exam Question 2
Which of the following best describes where business scenarios are used in the TOGAF ADM?
Correct Answer: B
According to the TOGAF Standard, business scenarios are an important technique that may be used at various stages of the enterprise architecture, principally the Architecture Vision and the Business Architecture, but in other architecture domains as well, if required, to derive the characteristics of the architecture directly from the high-level requirements of the business1. The Architecture Vision is developed in Phase A, and the Business Architecture is developed in Phase B. The Preliminary Phase is also a stage where business scenarios can be used to help identify and understand business needs2. Business scenarios are a tool used within TOGAF to help identify and understand the business requirements and to drive the creation of the enterprise's architecture. They are used in the Preliminary Phase to understand the organizational context, Phase A to develop the Architecture Vision, and Phase B to derive the Business Architecture based on the stakeholder's requirements and the business strategy.
OGBA-101 Exam Question 3
Which ADM Phases match the following purpose descriptions?
Correct Answer: D
The ADM Phases that match the purpose descriptions provided are: Phase C for the development of Information Systems Architectures to support the agreed Architecture Vision, Phase F for addressing the move from the Baseline to the Target Architectures by finalizing a detailed Implementation and Migration Plan, Phase G for providing architectural oversight of the implementation, and Phase D for describing the development of the Technology Architecture to support the agreed Architecture Vision.
OGBA-101 Exam Question 4
Which statement best describes iteration and the ADM?
Correct Answer: C
The statement that best describes iteration and the ADM is that the ADM is iterative, over the whole process, between phases, and within phases4. Iteration is a key concept in managing the complexity of developing an Enterprise Architecture and managing its lifecycle4. The ADM supports several forms of iteration as follows: Iteration over the whole process: Projects will iterate through the entire ADM cycle, commencing with Phase A (Architecture Vision) and ending with Phase H (Architecture Change Management)4. Each cycle of the ADM will be bound by a Request for Architecture Work that defines the scope and objectives of the project4. The architecture output will populate or update the Architecture Landscape that describes the current and target states of the enterprise4. Iteration between phases: Projects may cycle between ADM phases in planned cycles covering multiple phases4. Typically, this is used to converge on a detailed Target Architecture when higher-level architecture does not exist to provide context and constraint4. For example, a project may iterate between Phase B (Business Architecture), Phase C (Information Systems Architectures), and Phase D (Technology Architecture) until a satisfactory solution is achieved4. Iteration within phases: Projects may return to previous activities within an ADM phase in order to circle back and update work products with new information4. Typically, this is used to manage the inter-relationship between different aspects of an architecture domain or viewpoint4. For example, a project may revisit Business Architecture models after developing Information Systems Architecture models to ensure alignment and consistency4.
OGBA-101 Exam Question 5
Consider the following modeling example, relating business capabilities to organization units so as to highlight duplication and redundancy: (Note in this example the cells colored green, yellow, and red, are also marked G. Y, and R, respectively) Which of the following best describes this technique?
Correct Answer: A
The technique shown in the example is called relationship mapping. It is a technique that can be used to show how a business architecture addresses stakeholder concerns across different parts of an organization2. It can highlight gaps or overlaps in the coverage of stakeholder concerns by a business architecture. In this case, the technique is used to relate business capabilities to organization units so as to highlight duplication and redundancy.
