Consider the following ADM phases objectives.

Objective:
1. Develop the Target Data Architecture that enables the Business Architecture and the Architecture Vision
2. Develop the Target Business Architecture that describes how the enterprise needs to operate to achieve the business goals
3. Develop a high-level aspirational vision of the capabilities and business value to be delivered as a result of the proposed Enterprise Architecture
4. Identify candidate Architecture Roadmap components based upon gaps between the Baseline and Target Technology Architectures

Which phase does each objective match?

  1. 1B-2D-3A-4C
  2. 1C-2D-3B-4A
  3. 1C-2B-3A-4D
  4. 1A-2B-3C-4D

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

· Phase A: Architecture Vision o Develop a high-level aspirational vision of the capabilities and business value to be delivered as a result of the proposed Enterprise Architecture o Define the scope and boundaries of the architecture engagement o Identify the key stakeholders and their concerns and expectations o Define the Architecture Vision statement and the Architecture Definition Document o Obtain approval and commitment from the sponsors and stakeholders

· Phase B: Business Architecture o Develop the Target Business Architecture that describes how the enterprise needs to operate to achieve the business goals o Define the Baseline Business Architecture, if not available o Perform a gap analysis between the Baseline and Target Business Architectures o Define candidate roadmap components for the Business Architecture o Resolve impacts across the Architecture Landscape
· Phase C: Information Systems Architecture o Develop the Target Data Architecture that enables the Business Architecture and the Architecture Vision o Develop the Target Application Architecture that supports the Business Architecture and the Architecture Vision o Define the Baseline Data and Application Architectures, if not available o Perform a gap analysis between the Baseline and Target Data and Application Architectures o Define candidate roadmap components for the Information Systems Architecture o Resolve impacts across the Architecture Landscape
· Phase D: Technology Architecture o Develop the Target Technology Architecture that enables the Information Systems Architecture and the Architecture Vision o Define the Baseline Technology Architecture, if not available o Perform a gap analysis between the Baseline and Target Technology Architectures o Identify candidate Architecture Roadmap components based upon gaps between the Baseline and Target Technology Architectures o Resolve impacts across the Architecture Landscape
Therefore, the correct matching of the objectives and the phases is:
· 1C: Develop the Target Data Architecture that enables the Business Architecture and the Architecture Vision
· 2B: Develop the Target Business Architecture that describes how the enterprise needs to operate to achieve the business goals
· 3A: Develop a high-level aspirational vision of the capabilities and business value to be delivered as a result of the proposed Enterprise Architecture · 4D: Identify candidate Architecture Roadmap components based upon gaps between the Baseline and Target Technology Architectures

Refer to the table below:



Which ADM Phase does this describe?

  1. Phase E
  2. Phase G
  3. Phase A
  4. Phase F

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

The table describes the output, outcome, and essential knowledge of an ADM phase that oversees the implementation of changes necessary to reach the adjusted target state. This corresponds to Phase G, also known as Implementation Governance, which ensures that the architecture defined in earlier phases is realized, and it oversees the development and implementation of projects to align with this architecture. The essential knowledge required during this phase includes understanding constraints on the implementation team and adjusting stakeholder priority and preference in response to success, value, effort, and risk of change.

Which of the following statements about architecture partitioning is correct?

  1. Partitions are used to simplify the management of the Enterprise Architecture.
  2. Partitions are equivalent to architecture levels.
  3. Partitions reflect the organization's structure.
  4. Partitions are defined and assigned to agile Enterprise Architecture teams.

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

Based on the web search results, architecture partitioning is a technique that divides the Enterprise Architecture into smaller and manageable segments or groups, based on various classification criteria, such as subject matter, time, maturity, volatility, etc.12 Architecture partitioning is used to simplify the development and management of the Enterprise Architecture, by reducing complexity, improving governance, enhancing reusability, and increasing alignment and agility. Therefore, the statement that partitions are used to simplify the management of the Enterprise Architecture is correct.
The other statements are incorrect because:
· Partitions are not equivalent to architecture levels. Architecture levels are different layers of abstraction that describe the Enterprise Architecture from different perspectives, such as strategic, segment, and capability. Partitions are subsets of architectures that are defined within or across the levels, based on specific criteria.

· Partitions do not necessarily reflect the organization's structure. The organization's structure is one possible criterion for partitioning the architecture, but it is not the only one. Other criteria, such as business function, product, service, geography, etc., can also be used to partition the architecture.
· Partitions are not defined and assigned to agile Enterprise Architecture teams. Agile Enterprise Architecture is an approach that applies agile principles and practices to the architecture work, such as iterative development, frequent feedback, adaptive planning, and continuous delivery. Partitions are not a specific feature of agile Enterprise Architecture, but a general technique that can be applied to any architecture method or framework, including TOGAF12.

Exhibit

Consider the illustration showing an architecture development cycle Which description matches the phase of the ADM labeled as item 2?

  1. Conducts implementation planning for the architecture defined in previous phases
  2. Establishes procedures for managing change to the new architecture
  3. Operates the process of managing architecture requirements
  4. Provides architectural oversight for the implementation

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

Based on the illustration, the phase of the ADM labeled as item 2 is the Implementation Governance phase. This phase provides architectural oversight for the implementation. It ensures that the implementation project conforms to the architecture. It also provides a framework for monitoring and managing the implementation.
The Implementation Governance phase involves the following activities:
Finalizing the Architecture Roadmap and the supporting Implementation and Migration Plan Assigning an Architecture Board to oversee the implementation Establishing Architecture Contracts with the implementation partners Reviewing and approving the implementation project plans and deliverables Performing Architecture Compliance reviews to ensure alignment with the architecture Performing Architecture Audit reviews to ensure quality and performance of the architecture Resolving any architecture issues or change requests that arise during the implementation Maintaining the architecture lifecycle and ensuring its continuity The Implementation Governance phase is essential for ensuring that the architecture is realized as intended and that it delivers the expected business value and outcomes.

Which of the following best summarizes the purpose of Enterprise Architecture?

  1. Taking major improvement decisions.
  2. Guiding effective change.
  3. Controlling the bigger changes.
  4. Governing the Stakeholders.

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

EA applies architecture principles and practices to analyze, design, plan, and implement enterprise analysis that supports digital transformation, IT growth, and the modernization of IT2. EA also helps organizations improve the efficiency, timeliness, and reliability of business information, as well as the alignment, agility, and adaptability of the architecture to the changing needs and requirements. Therefore, the best summary of the purpose of EA is to guide effective change.
