Core Concepts Flashcards
What forms/is the core of TOGAF
The ADM
What is Requirements Management in ADM
Requirements Management examines the process of managing architecture requirements
throughout the ADM.
The Preliminary Phase
preparation and initiation activities required to create an Architecture Capability, including the customization
of the TOGAF framework, and the definition of
Architecture Principles.
Phase A
Architecture Vision describes the initial
phase of an Architecture Development Cycle. It
includes information about defining the scope,
identifying the stakeholders, creating the Architecture
Vision, and obtaining approvals.
Phase B
Phase B: Business Architecture describes the
development of a Business Architecture to support an
agreed Architecture Vision
Phase C
Phase C: Information Systems Architectures
describes the development of Information Systems
Architectures for an architecture project, including
the development of Data and Application
Architectures
Phase D
Phase D: Technology Architecture describes the development of the Technology Architecture
for an architecture project.
Phase E
Phase E: Opportunities and Solutions describes the process of identifying major
implementation projects and grouping them into work packages that deliver the Target
Architecture defined in the previous phases.
Phase F
Phase F: Migration Planning describes the development of a detailed Implementation and
Migration Plan that addresses how to move from the Baseline to the Target Architecture.
Phase G
Phase G: Implementation Governance provides an architectural oversight of the
implementation
Phase H
Phase H: Architecture Change Management establishes procedures for managing change to
the new architecture
What is a deliverable
A deliverable is a work product that is contractually specified and in turn formally
reviewed, agreed, and signed off by the stakeholders
What is an Artefact
An artifact is an architectural work product that describes an aspect of the architecture
Classification of Artefacts
catalogs (lists of things),
matrices (showing relationships between things),
and diagrams (pictures of things).
An architectural deliverable may contain many artifacts and artifacts will form the content of the
Architecture Repository.
What is a Building Block
A building block represents a (potentially re-usable) component of business, IT, or architectural capability that can be combined with other building blocks to deliver architectures and solutions
Difference between ABB and SBB
Architecture Building Blocks (ABBs) typically describing
the required capability in order to shape the Solution Building Blocks (SBBs) which would represent the components to be used to implement the required capability.
What are the Parts of the Enterprise Continuum?
The Enterprise Continuum comprises two
complementary concepts: the Architecture Continuum and the Solutions Continuum.
What is a view of the Architecture Repository
The Enterprise Continuum is a view of the Architecture Repository
What is the concept of the Architecture Repository
Supporting the Enterprise Continuum is the concept of an Architecture Repository,
What are the Major Components or the Architecture Repository
The Architecture Metamodel The Architecture Capability The Architecture Landscape The Standards Information Base (SIB) The Reference Library The Governance Log The Architecture Requirements Repository The Solutions Landscape
Architecture Framework
Consists of Building Blocks
Define Tools, Vocabulary, Standard, Compliance Products
Enterprise Architecture practice should establish
capabilities in the following areas:
Financial Management Performance Management Service Management Risk Management Resource Management Communications and Stakeholder Management Quality Management Supplier Management Configuration Management Environment Management
Why is the TOGAF standard so popular in the industry?
One key reason is that architects can use the TOGAF ADM in conjunction with any of the popular frameworks.The TOGAF ADM is framework-agnostic, and helps architects fill in the framework they might
already have in use.
Which of the following is defined as a work product that describes an aspect of an architecture? A. An artifact B. A building block C. A catalog D. A deliverable
A. An artifact
Complete the sentence: The Enterprise Continuum provides _________
A. An architecture framework
B. A database of open industry standards
C. Guidelines for developing a technical reference model
D. Methods for classifying artifacts
E. Techniques for developing architectures
D. Methods for classifying artifacts
Which component of the Architecture Repository provides guidelines, templates, and patterns that can be used to create new architectures? A. The Architecture Metamodel B. The Architecture Capability C. The Architecture Landscape D. The Reference Library E. The Governance Log
D. The Reference Library
