Question 13
Consider the illustration.

- C. A-EA Landscape, B-Requirements Repository. C-Artifacts Landscape
- D. A-Architecture Requirements Repository, B-Solutions Repository, C-Architecture Landscape
Answer:
D
Explanation:
This aligns with the TOGAF Architecture Repository model where:
A (Architecture Requirements Repository) contains requirements that drive architecture work.
B (Solutions Repository) stores the building blocks or solutions that support the architecture.
C (Architecture Landscape) represents the architecture assets that depict the current, transition, and
target architecture states across the enterprise
Question 14
Which of the following is a responsibility of an Architecture Board?
- A. Determining the scope of an architecture compliance review
- B. Allocating resources for architecture projects
- C. Conducting assessments of the maturity level of architecture discipline within the organization
- D. Achieving consistency between sub-architectures
Answer:
D
Explanation:
One of the key responsibilities of an Architecture Board within the context of TOGAF is to achieve
consistency between sub-architectures. This board is typically responsible for overseeing the
development and maintenance of the enterprise architecture, ensuring that it aligns with the
organization's overall strategy and objectives. They play a critical role in ensuring that all sub-
architectures (like Business Architecture, Data Architecture, Application Architecture, and Technology
Architecture) work together cohesively and support the overall enterprise architecture vision and
strategy.
Question 15
Which of the following describes the practice by which the enterprise architecture is managed and
controlled at an enterprise-wide level?
- A. Corporate governance
- B. Architecture governance
- C. IT governance
- D. Technology governance
Answer:
B
Explanation:
According to the TOGAF Standard, 10th Edition, architecture governance is “the practice by which
enterprise architectures and other architectures are managed and controlled at an enterprise-wide
level” 1. Architecture governance ensures that the architecture development and implementation
are aligned with the strategic objectives, principles, standards, and requirements of the enterprise,
and that they deliver the expected value and outcomes. Architecture governance also involves
establishing and maintaining the architecture framework, repository, board, contracts, and
compliance reviews 1. The other options are not correct, as they are not the term used by the TOGAF
Standard to describe the practice by which the enterprise architecture is managed and controlled at
an enterprise-wide level. Corporate governance is “the system by which an organization is directed
and controlled” 2, and it covers aspects such as leadership, strategy, performance, accountability,
and ethics. IT governance is “the system by which the current and future use of IT is directed and
controlled” 2, and it covers aspects such as IT strategy, policies, standards, and services. Technology
governance is “the system by which the technology decisions and investments are directed and
controlled” 3, and it covers aspects such as technology selection, acquisition, deployment, and
maintenance. Reference: 1: TOGAF Standard, 10th Edition, Part VI: Architecture Governance, Chapter
