Complete the sentence. When considering agile development, Architecture to Support Portfolio will identify what products the Enterprise needs, the boundary of the products, and what constraints a product owner has; this defines the Enterprise's

1. A. risk tolerance
2. B. business continuity
3. C. backlog
4. D. operating model

Correct Answer: C
When considering agile development,Architecture to Support Portfoliowill identify the necessary products for the enterprise, define their boundaries, and outline the constraints for a product owner. This process directly relates to defining the enterprise'sbacklog, which in agile methodologies, is a prioritized list of work for the development team that is derived from the roadmap and its requirements.

Which of the following is the ability to develop use and sustain the architecture of a particular enterprise using architecture to govern change?

1. A. An EA Capability
2. B. An EA repository
3. C. An EA framework
4. D. An Enterprise Architecture

Correct Answer: A
The ability to develop, use, and sustain the architecture of a particular enterprise using architecture to govern change is an EA Capability. An EA Capability is a set of skills, processes, roles, responsibilities, tools, and techniques that enable an enterprise to successfully develop and maintain its Enterprise Architecture and achieve its desired outcomes. An EA Capability is part of an enterprise??s overall capability portfolio and should be aligned with its strategy andobjectives.

Which of the following best describes the purpose of the Gap Analysis technique?

1. A. To govern the architecture throughout its implementation process
2. B. To develop a set of general rules and guidelines for the architecture
3. C. To identify items omitted from the Target Architecture
4. D. To allocate resources for architecture projects

Correct Answer: C
The purpose of the Gap Analysis technique is similar to the previous question, but with a focus on the Target Architecture. The technique helps to identify the items that are not included or specified in the Target Architecture, such as capabilities, services, components, standards, or technologies. These items may be essential for achieving the vision and goals of the enterprise, or for addressing the stakeholder concerns and requirements. By identifying the items omitted from the Target Architecture, the technique helps to ensure that the architecture is comprehensive, feasible, and realistic.

Exhibit:

Consider the illustration. What are the items labelled A, B, and C?

1. A. A-Enterprise Repository, B-Governance Repository, C-Board Repository
2. B. A-Architecture Repository, B-Governance Repository, C-Architecture Capability
3. C. A-Architecture Repository, B-Governing Board, C-Enterprise Capability
4. D. A-Enterprise Repository, B-Board repository, C-Enterprise Capability

Correct Answer: C
✑ A-Architecture Repository: This is a part of the Architecture Metamodel that contains artifacts structured according to the metamodel. It includes the Architecture Landscape which is adopted by the enterprise and governed by certain standards and practices.
✑ B-Governing Board: The Governing Board ensures visibility and escalation, meaning it oversees and manages the capability of the architecture landscape. It plays a crucial role in governance.
✑ C-Enterprise Capability: This refers to how well an enterprise can execute its mission, meet business objectives or satisfy its stakeholders?? needs and expectations. It??s influenced by both internal factors (like resources, processes) and external ones (like market trends).

What component of the Architecture Repository represents architecture requirements agreed with the Architecture Board?

1. A. Reference Library
2. B. Architecture Capability
3. C. Architecture Requirements Repository
4. D. Governance Log

Correct Answer: C
The Architecture Requirements Repository stores all the requirements that are output of the architecture development cycle, as well as the requirements that are input to the architecture development cycle1. The Architecture Requirements Repository includes the following types of requirements1:
•Stakeholder Requirements: These are the high-level requirements and expectations of the stakeholders, derived from the business drivers, goals, and objectives. They are captured and refined in the Architecture Vision phase and the Requirements Management phase.
•Architecture Requirements: These are the detailed requirements that specify what the architecture must do or deliver to meet the stakeholder requirements. They are derived and refined in the Business, Information Systems, and Technology Architecture phases.
•Implementation and Migration Requirements: These are the detailed requirements that specify what the implementation and migration projects must do or deliver to realize the architecture. They are derived and refined in the Opportunities and Solutions and Migration Planning phases.
The Architecture Requirements Repository is used to manage the architecture requirements throughout the architecture lifecycle, ensuring their traceability, consistency, and compliance1. The Architecture Board is the authority that reviews and approves the architecture requirements, as well as the architecture deliverables and artifacts, as part of the architecture governance process2.
