• Question 121:

  What is an objective of the ADM Preliminary Phase?

  A. To develop a vision of the business value to be delivered by the proposed enterprise architecture
  B. To select and implement tools to support the Architecture Capability
  C. To obtain approval for the Statement of Architecture Work
  D. To create the initial version of the Architecture Roadmap
  B. To select and implement tools to support the Architecture Capability

  ---

  Explanation

  The Preliminary Phase is the preparatory phase of the Architecture Development Method (ADM) cycle, which sets the context and direction for the architecture work. One of the objectives of this phase is to select and implement tools to support the Architecture Capability, which is the ability of an organization to perform enterprise architecture effectively and efficiently. Tools can include software applications, methods, techniques, standards, and frameworks that assist the architecture development and governance processes. The selection and implementation of tools should be based on the requirements and constraints of the organization, and the alignment with the Architecture Principles and the Architecture Vision3

• Question 123:

  Which of the following best describes the need for the ADM process to be governed?

  A. To enable development of reference architectures
  B. To verify that the method is being applied correctly
  C. To enable a fast response to market changes
  D. To permit the architecture domains to be integrated
  B. To verify that the method is being applied correctly

  ---

  Explanation

  According to the TOGAF standard, the need for the ADM process to be governed is to ensure that the architecture development and implementation activities are conducted in a consistent, coherent, and compliant manner1. Governance provides the means to verify that the method is being applied correctly and effectively, and that the architecture deliverables and artifacts meet the quality and standards criteria1. Governance also enables the management of risks, issues, changes, and dependencies that may arise during the ADM process1. Some of the benefits of governing the ADM process are2: Improved alignment of the architecture with the business strategy and objectives Enhanced stakeholder engagement and communication Increased reuse and integration of architecture assets and resources Reduced complexity and duplication of architecture efforts Increased agility and adaptability of the architecture to changing needs and requirements Improved compliance and auditability of the architecture outcomes and outputs

• Question 124:

  Complete the sentence A business scenario describes______________

  A. shortfalls between the Baseline and Target Architectures
  B. business domain gaps such as cross-training requirements
  C. business and technology environment in which those problems occur
  D. general rules and guidelines tor the architecture being developed
  C. business and technology environment in which those problems occur

  ---

  Explanation

  A business scenario describes business and technology environment in which those problems occur. It provides a realistic context for identifying and addressing business problems and opportunities, as well as their impact on the enterprise's architecture.

• Question 125:

  Complete the sentence The purpose of the Preliminary Phase is to_____________.

  A. describe the target architecture
  B. define the enterprise strategy
  C. identify the stakeholders and their requirements
  D. architect an Enterprise Architecture Capability
  D. architect an Enterprise Architecture Capability

  ---

  Explanation

  The purpose of the Preliminary Phase is to architect an Enterprise Architecture Capability that meets the needs and expectations of the enterprise's stakeholders and supports and enables subsequent phases of architecture development and transition. This phase involves defining the scope, principles, framework, and governance for the Enterprise Architecture Capability.
