TOGAF ® 9 Training Course: Combined Level 1 and 2 Quiz Questions and Answers
Answer :
An agreement between development partners and sponsors on the deliverables, quality, and fitness-forpurpose of an architecture
Explanation :
The agreement is between development partners and sponsors. Architecture Contracts are joint
agreements between development partners and sponsors on the deliverables, quality, and fitness-forpurpose of an architecture. Successful implementation of these agreements will be delivered through
effective Architecture Governance. Taking a governed approach to contract management ensures a
system that continuously monitors integrity, changes, decision-making, and audit, as well as adherence to
the principles, standards, and requirements of the enterprise. The architecture team may also be included
in product procurement, to help minimize the opportunity for misinterpretation of the enterprise
architecture.
Capability-Based Planning is a business planning technique that focuses on business outcomes. It focuses
on the planning, engineering, and delivery of strategic business capabilities to the enterprise. It is
business-driven and business-led and combines the requisite efforts of all lines of business to achieve the
desired capability. Capability-Based Planning accommodates most, if not all, of the corporate business
models and is especially useful in organizations where a latent capability to respond (e.g., an emergency
preparedness unit) is required and the same resources are involved in multiple capabilities.

Concerns should be SMART and have specific metrics.
Explanation :
"Concerns" are the interests in a system relevant to one or more of its stakeholders, and determine the
acceptability of the system. Concerns may pertain to any aspect of the system’s functioning, development,
or operation, including considerations such as performance, reliability, security, distribution, and
evolvability. The terms "concern" and "requirement" are not synonymous. Concerns are the root of the
process of decomposition into requirements. Concerns are represented in the architecture by these
requirements. Requirements should be SMART (e.g., specific metrics).
A technique used for business planning that focuses on business outcomes
Explanation :
Capability-Based Planning is a business planning technique that focuses on business outcomes. It is
business-driven and business-led and combines the requisite efforts of all lines of business to achieve the
desired capability. It accommodates most, if not all, of the corporate business models and is especially
useful in organizations where a latent capability to respond (e.g., an emergency preparedness unit) is
required and the same resources are involved in multiple capabilities. Often the need for these capabilities
is discovered and refined using business scenarios.
An architecture framework is a foundational structure, or set of structures, which can be used for
developing a broad range of different architectures. It should describe a method for designing a target
state of the enterprise in terms of a set of building blocks, and for showing how the building blocks fit
together. It should contain a set of tools and provide a common vocabulary. It should also include a list of
recommended standards and compliant products that can be used to implement the building blocks.
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 business. They are used to help identify and understand business needs, and thereby
to derive the business requirements that the architecture development has to address.

A technique used to understand the readiness of an organization to accept change
Explanation :
The Business Transformation Readiness Assessment technique is used for determining the readiness of an
organization to accept change. Enterprise architecture often involves considerable change. It provides a
technique for understanding the readiness of an organization to accept change, identifying the issues, and
dealing with them in the Implementation and Migration Plan. It is based on the Canadian Government
Business Transformation Enablement Program (BTEP).
