Which of the following statements about architecture partitioning are correct*?
1 Partitions are used to simplify the management of the Enterprise Architecture
2 Partitions are equivalent to architecture levels
3 Partitions enable different teams to work on different element of the architecture at the same time.
4 Partitions reflect the organization's structure
Statements 1 and 3 about architecture partitioning are correct. Architecture partitioning is the technique of dividing an architecture into smaller and more manageable parts that can be developed, maintained, and governed independently. Partitions are used to simplify the management of the Enterprise Architecture and to enable different teams to work on different elements of the architecture at the same time. Partitions are not equivalent to architecture levels, which are different degrees of abstraction or detail in an architecture. Partitions do not necessarily reflect the organization's structure, which may change over time or differ from the architecture's scope and boundaries.

Consider the following descriptions of deliverables consumed and produced across the TOGAF ADM cycle.
General rules and guidelines, intended to be enduring and seldom
amended, that inform and support the way in which an organization sets
about fulfilling its mission
The joint agreements between development partners and sponsors on the
deliverables, quality, and fitness-for-purpose of an architecture.
A document that is sent from the sponsoring organization to the
architecture organization to trigger the start of an architecture
development cycle
A set of quantitative statements that outline what an implementation
project must do in order to comply with the architecture.
Which deliverables match these descriptions?
According to the TOGAF standard, the deliverables that match the descriptions are as follows:
The_________________ensures that a project transitioning into implementation also smoothly transitions into appropriate Architecture Governance.
Complete the following sentence. In the ADM documents which are under development and have not undergone any formal review and approval process are_______________.
In the ADM documents which are under development and have not undergone any formal review and approval process are called ''draft''. This indicates that they are subject to change and refinement as the architecture development progresses. Reference: The TOGAF Standard | The Open Group Website, Section 4.2.5 Architecture Deliverables.
Consider the following ADM phases objectives.
Objective:
1. Develop the Target Data Architecture that enables the Business Architecture and the Architecture Vision
2. Develop the Target Business Architecture that describes how the enterprise needs to operate to achieve the business goals
3. Develop a high-level aspirational vision of the capabilities and business value to be delivered as a result of the proposed Enterprise Architecture
4. Identify candidate Architecture Roadmap components based upon gaps between the Baseline and Target Technology Architectures
Which phase does each objective match?
* Phase A: Architecture Vision
o Develop a high-level aspirational vision of the capabilities and business value to be delivered as a result of the proposed Enterprise Architecture
o Define the scope and boundaries of the architecture engagement
o Identify the key stakeholders and their concerns and expectations
o Define the Architecture Vision statement and the Architecture Definition Document
o Obtain approval and commitment from the sponsors and stakeholders
* Phase B: Business Architecture
o Develop the Target Business Architecture that describes how the enterprise needs to operate to achieve the business goals
o Define the Baseline Business Architecture, if not available
o Perform a gap analysis between the Baseline and Target Business Architectures
o Define candidate roadmap components for the Business Architecture
o Resolve impacts across the Architecture Landscape
* Phase C: Information Systems Architecture
o Develop the Target Data Architecture that enables the Business Architecture and the Architecture Vision
o Develop the Target Application Architecture that supports the Business Architecture and the Architecture Vision
o Define the Baseline Data and Application Architectures, if not available
o Perform a gap analysis between the Baseline and Target Data and Application Architectures
o Define candidate roadmap components for the Information Systems Architecture
o Resolve impacts across the Architecture Landscape
* Phase D: Technology Architecture
o Develop the Target Technology Architecture that enables the Information Systems Architecture and the Architecture Vision
o Define the Baseline Technology Architecture, if not available
o Perform a gap analysis between the Baseline and Target Technology Architectures
o Identify candidate Architecture Roadmap components based upon gaps between the Baseline and Target Technology Architectures
o Resolve impacts across the Architecture Landscape
Therefore, the correct matching of the objectives and the phases is:
* 1C: Develop the Target Data Architecture that enables the Business Architecture and the Architecture Vision
* 2B: Develop the Target Business Architecture that describes how the enterprise needs to operate to achieve the business goals
* 3A: Develop a high-level aspirational vision of the capabilities and business value to be delivered as a result of the proposed Enterprise Architecture
* 4D: Identify candidate Architecture Roadmap components based upon gaps between the Baseline and Target Technology Architectures
