Open Group TOGAF 9 Certified Sample Questions:
01. Thorne and Vale is a regional development agency that supports 30,000 small businesses with grants, advice, training and export services. Five departments each hold their own record of a business: the grants team, the advisory service, the skills program, the export desk and the debt-recovery unit. A business that has dealt with the agency three times is typically on file three times, under three identifiers, with different contact details.
The consequences are now visible to the board. An adviser preparing for a meeting cannot see that the same business has an open grant claim. The export desk approaches businesses that debt recovery is pursuing. A published statistic on businesses supported was withdrawn because the number could not be reconciled between departments.
The Chief Executive has told the board that staff must be able to get the information they need, when they need it, wherever it is held, and has sponsored an architecture engagement to achieve it. Phase A is complete. The architecture team has established that no department will give up its own system, that the data each holds is correct within its own department, and that the difficulty lies entirely in the flow of information between them. Phase C is about to begin on the application architecture.
Refer to the Thorne and Vale scenario. You are the Lead Architect. You have been asked to recommend a reference model and how to apply it.
Based on the TOGAF Standard, which of the following is the best answer?
a) Take the Integrated Information Infrastructure Reference Model as the Common Systems Architecture starting point for Phase C, since the Chief Executive has described a boundaryless information flow problem, then use its distinction between brokering applications, information provider applications and information consumer applications to establish which departmental systems provide, which consume and what must broker between them, together with the infrastructure applications the arrangement needs, and then specialize the result into an organization-specific application architecture for the agency.
b) Develop the Application Architecture for Phase C from the five departmental systems as they stand, record it in the Architecture Definition Document, and use the Integrated Information Infrastructure Reference Model and the Technical Reference Model at the end of the phase as a checklist against which to confirm that nothing in the Architecture Requirements Specification has been overlooked.
c) Apply the Technical Reference Model first, to standardize the platforms the five departments run on, so that a common technology foundation exists before any attempt is made to move information between them.
d) Build a single agency data warehouse that copies each department's records nightly, resolve the duplicate business identities within it, and treat that warehouse as the agency's integrated information architecture.
02. Ardenfield Assurance underwrites commercial property risks through 400 independent brokers. A program is building a broker portal to replace email and spreadsheet submissions. The architecture team has completed Phases B and C and is in Phase D, working against a Technology Architecture structured on the Technical Reference Model taxonomy that Ardenfield tailored two years ago.
A requirement arrives from the Compliance Director, stated as a single sentence: brokers from the three largest broker groups must be able to reach the portal using the credentials their own employer issues, and every access to a submission must be recorded in a form that an external auditor can rely on years later.
The team disagrees about where this belongs. One architect says it is plainly a security matter and should be handed to the security workstream as a single requirement. Another notes that recognizing credentials issued by three separate broker groups means resolving identities that Ardenfield does not hold, which is not the same problem as protecting an asset. A third observes that the auditor's reliance is about the trustworthiness of the record rather than about any one service, and that the tailored taxonomy has somewhere for concerns of that kind.
The Compliance Director will not restate the requirement and expects the architecture to work out what it implies.
Refer to the Ardenfield Assurance scenario. You are the Lead Architect. You have been asked to recommend how the requirement should be classified in the Technology Architecture.
Based on the TOGAF Standard, which of the following is the best answer?
a) Classify the whole requirement under security services, since both halves of it concern who may reach the portal and what evidence is kept of their doing so, and pass it to the security workstream as one item so that a single team owns authentication and audit together, which keeps the design of the record and the design of the access control in one place.
b) Classify the requirement in the application software layer as a characteristic of the broker portal, since the portal is the application the brokers use, the requirement describes what that application must do for them, and the program building the portal has the budget and the timescale to deliver it inside the compliance window.
c) Classify it as spanning two platform service categories, security services for authentication and audit capture, and location and directory services for resolving the identities the broker groups issue, and record the auditor's reliance on the record as a quality required across the platform rather than as a service of its own.
d) Classify the requirement under one platform service category: communications infrastructure, since broker access originates outside Ardenfield's network and the requirement is therefore about traffic crossing an organizational boundary safely.
03. Meridian Freight Rail hauls bulk minerals over 4,000 kilometers of track it does not own. Its Chief Technology Officer has mandated the Architecture Development Method, and the team has completed Phases A to C for a program replacing train control and consignment tracking.
Phase D is beginning. Meridian's technology estate divides sharply. The corporate side runs familiar commercial platforms. The operational side is trackside: signaling interlocks, axle counters, radio block centers and locomotive telemetry, with hard real-time constraints, twenty-five year asset lives and a safety-assurance regime that governs every change.
The team has taken the Technical Reference Model as its starting point for the Technology Architecture. Two difficulties have emerged. First, several of the service categories in the model's taxonomy have no counterpart at Meridian, and the engineers describe others using their own established vocabulary, which the taxonomy does not use. Second, and more seriously, the taxonomy has little to say about the trackside domain: the real-time determinism, the safety assurance and the device lifecycle that dominate half of Meridian's estate have no obvious home in it.
The Chief Engineer for signaling has said that if the architecture cannot describe trackside in trackside terms, the signaling team will not use it. One architect proposes abandoning the reference model on the grounds that it plainly was not written for railways.
Refer to the Meridian Freight Rail scenario. You are the Lead Architect. You have been asked to recommend how the reference model should be used in Phase D.
Based on the TOGAF Standard, which of the following is the best answer?
a) Tailor the taxonomy: remove the service categories that do not apply at Meridian, rename others to the vocabulary the engineers use, and add categories covering the trackside domain. Use the tailored taxonomy as Meridian's own technology taxonomy and record it in the Architecture Repository.
b) Use the taxonomy as published, without alteration, and maintain a glossary mapping Meridian's engineering vocabulary onto its service categories. Raise the absence of trackside coverage as a known limitation to be revisited in a later cycle, so that Meridian's Technology Architecture stays comparable with the published model.
c) Replace the reference model with a taxonomy assembled from the reference material published by Meridian's signaling and telemetry suppliers, since that material already uses the engineers' vocabulary and covers the real-time and safety concerns properly, and since the signaling team would then be working from documents it already trusts rather than from an imported classification.
d) Treat the mismatch as evidence that the reference model does not apply to a railway, and proceed in Phase D without a technology taxonomy, describing the baseline and target estates directly as inventories of the platforms and devices in use, which the engineers on both sides of the estate already maintain for their own purposes.
04. Clearbourne Housing owns and maintains 41,000 homes for a city council. It has had an architecture function for eighteen months. The Preliminary Phase established governance and principles, and a first Architecture Development Method cycle covering repairs and maintenance has completed Phases A, B and C. The Architecture Definition Document describes the target business and information systems architectures for repairs, and the Architecture Requirements Specification records the measurable criteria the solution must meet.
Phase D now begins, and Clearbourne has never produced a Technology Architecture. Its technology estate accumulated through a decade of departmental purchases: four hosting arrangements, two identity directories, a mixture of on-premise and supplier-hosted applications, and no inventory that anyone trusts. Three different teams operate parts of it.
The team of two architects assigned to Phase D is uncertain where to begin. One proposes starting from the roadmaps the incumbent hosting and application suppliers have published, since those documents describe what is actually installed and what the suppliers intend to do next. Another points out that nobody has yet agreed what categories of technology service Clearbourne needs at all, and that the baseline cannot be described until there is something to describe it against.
Refer to the Clearbourne Housing scenario. You are the Lead Architect. You have been asked to recommend how Phase D should begin.
Based on the TOGAF Standard, which of the following is the best answer?
a) Begin from the roadmaps published by the incumbent hosting and application suppliers, consolidating them into a Baseline Technology Architecture description recorded in the Architecture Repository, and derive the Target Technology Architecture from the strategic direction those published roadmaps indicate, since the suppliers will in any event be the organizations responsible for delivering most of the subsequent transformation.
b) Begin from the Technical Reference Model as a Foundation Architecture, using its taxonomy of platform service categories to structure the baseline inventory and the target, and applying its qualities across those categories, then specializing the result toward a Clearbourne-specific Technology Architecture as the detail is established.
c) Begin from the technology requirements already recorded in the Architecture Requirements Specification, working through them individually, to establish what each implies for the existing estate, and assemble the Technology Architecture from the accumulated results.
d) Declare the Technology Architecture out of scope for this cycle, on the grounds that most of Clearbourne's applications are supplier-hosted, that the technology decisions consequently belong to the suppliers, and that the architecture function should concentrate elsewhere.
05. Pellwood Distribution supplies pharmaceutical wholesalers across a trading bloc of six countries. Its architecture function reports to a Chief Architect and operates a monthly compliance assessment cycle against a defined set of standards.
The bloc's medicines regulator has published a data-exchange specification for consignment traceability. Suppliers must exchange consignment events in the specified format, and the obligation begins in twenty-two months. The specification is stable and published in full; the regulator has said it will not be revised before the compliance date.
Pellwood has eleven applications that create or consume consignment events. Four are in the middle of Phase G implementation governance under an existing architecture, two are in Phase E, and five are stable systems with no current project. The Chief Architect's concern is practical: in twenty-two months a compliance assessment must be able to establish, for each of those eleven applications, whether it meets the specification, and today there is nowhere in the architecture function that records the obligation at all. One project manager has already asked whether the deadline can be treated as provisional until the regulator publishes an enforcement timetable.
Refer to the Pellwood scenario. You are the Lead Architect. You have been asked to recommend how the specification should be brought into the architecture function.
Based on the TOGAF Standard, which of the following is the best answer?
a) Record the specification in the Reference Library so that architects working on any of the eleven applications can find it, and brief each of the current project teams on its contents at their next governance checkpoint so that the obligation is understood where the work is being done.
b) Ask the Architecture Board to grant a blanket dispensation covering the specification until the regulator publishes an enforcement timetable, treating the deadline as provisional in the meantime, and bring the specification into the architecture once that timetable is known.
c) Write the provisions of the specification into the Architecture Definition Document for each of the affected architectures, so that the requirement sits with the description of the architecture that has to satisfy it and is reviewed whenever that document is reviewed.
d) Enter the specification in the Standards Information Base, recording its status and the date from which compliance is required, and reference it from the Architecture Requirements Specification of each affected architecture.
06. Brightwater Mutual is a mid-sized property insurer operating in four states. Its claims operation runs on a set of applications assembled over twenty years, and no two states handle a first notice of loss the same way. The Corporate Board has approved a program to bring claims handling onto a single operating model. The enterprise architecture team has been running the Architecture Development Method for six months; the Preliminary Phase and Phase A are complete, and the team is in the early part of Phase B.
Last month Brightwater joined an industry association that publishes a claims reference model. The published model defines a claims process decomposition, a set of business services, and a data model covering policy, claim and party. Roughly seventy percent of what it describes matches how Brightwater intends to work. The remaining thirty percent covers parametric weather products that Brightwater does not sell, and the model has nothing to say about the catastrophe-response capability that the Board regards as the insurer's principal differentiator.
The Chief Architect has circulated the model to the team. One architect proposes that the program simply adopt it, arguing that the association developed it with far more resource than Brightwater can bring to bear. Another is uneasy that the differentiating capability would then be invisible in the architecture.
Refer to the Brightwater Mutual scenario. You are the Lead Architect. You have been asked to recommend how the published model should be classified and used.
Based on the TOGAF Standard, which of the following is the best answer?
a) Classify the published model as an Industry Architecture in the Architecture Continuum, and adopt it as the Target Business Architecture for claims. Raise the parametric weather content as out of scope in the Statement of Architecture Work, and record one constraint in the Architecture Requirements Specification: the catastrophe-response capability, to be revisited and re-scoped once the model has been implemented.
b) Enter the published model in the Standards Information Base so that every claims project is obliged to comply with it, and raise a dispensation request wherever the catastrophe-response capability requires a departure from it.
c) Classify the published model as an Industry Architecture in the Architecture Continuum and record it in the Reference Library, then use it as the starting point from which the team specializes and extends Organization-Specific Architectures for Brightwater. Omit the parts covering products Brightwater does not sell, and model the catastrophe-response capability as an extension, so that the differentiator is carried in the architecture rather than lost to the industry template.
d) Classify the published model as a Foundation Architecture, alongside the Technical Reference Model, on the grounds that it is externally published, vendor-neutral, and generic enough to apply to any insurer.
07. Kelverton County Council delivers 140 services to 900,000 residents. Its digital estate is a patchwork: residents re-enter the same details for every service, and eleven separate systems hold an address.
After a review, the Chief Executive and the council's Transformation Committee have decided that service orientation will be the architectural style for all citizen-facing systems. The intent is plain and has been minuted: capabilities are to be exposed as services that any channel can consume, so that a resident's details are held once and a service change does not require every channel to be rebuilt.
The architecture function is two years old and has an Architecture Board chaired by the Chief Operating Officer. It has completed the Preliminary Phase for the council as a whole, has an agreed set of principles and a tailored method, and is about to begin a cycle covering revenues and benefits.
Opinions in the team differ on what the committee's decision means for the architecture work. One architect regards it as a design approach the application architects will adopt when they get to it. Another has found a vendor reference architecture for service-oriented government and proposes adopting it wholesale. A third has asked whether the decision changes anything about how the council governs architecture at all.
Refer to the Kelverton scenario. You are the Lead Architect. You have been asked to recommend how the decision should be reflected in the architecture work.
Based on the TOGAF Standard, which of the following is the best answer?
a) Treat service orientation as an architectural style adopted in the Preliminary Phase, recording it as a principle and reflecting it in the tailored method, the content metamodel and the governance, so that service granularity and ownership are settled as architecture rather than per project.
b) Adopt the vendor reference architecture for service-oriented government as the council's target, since it already embodies the style the committee has chosen and has been specifically constructed for organizations of this kind, and develop the revenues and benefits architecture as a specialization of it, so that the council inherits an established structure rather than constructing one.
c) Introduce service orientation during the information systems architecture phases of the revenues and benefits cycle, where the application architects will be designing the services themselves, and let the experience of that first cycle establish the conventions for service granularity and ownership that later cycles will follow, once the first services have been designed against real requirements.
d) Treat the committee's decision as a technology direction and address it in the technology architecture phase, by selecting an integration platform capable of exposing and managing services, so that the capability to support the style exists before any architecture depends on it, and so that the committee's intent is visibly acted upon.
08. Tarnbeck Water supplies drinking water and wastewater services to two million households. Its enterprise architecture practice was established four years ago and has produced a technology standards set covering integration, data platforms and field-device connectivity. A new Chief Architect took up post six weeks ago.
In her first review she finds three projects each running on technology that departs from those standards. The asset-management replacement uses a message broker that is not on the supported list. The metering program has built its own reporting platform rather than using the enterprise data platform. The field-works project has connected devices through a supplier gateway that bypasses the integration layer entirely.
Each of the three project managers states that the departure was approved. One recalls a discussion at the Architecture Board; one produces an email from a predecessor of the Chief Architect; the third believes approval was given verbally at a program board. No record of any of the three decisions can be found. The Architecture Board keeps minutes, and compliance assessments have been performed on two of the three projects, but nothing links the assessments to a decision and no register of approved departures exists.
The Chief Architect is due to report to the Audit Committee in two months on whether the technology estate is under architectural control.
Refer to the Tarnbeck Water scenario. You are the Lead Architect. You have been asked to recommend how this situation should be addressed.
Based on the TOGAF Standard, which of the following is the best answer?
a) Ask each of the three project managers to supply the documentation supporting the approval they describe, and accept the departure where the documentation is produced. Where it is not, refer the project to the Architecture Board for a decision under the group's Architecture Governance framework, and record the Board's ruling in the project's own governance file alongside its Compliance Assessment.
b) Re-establish the Governance Log as the record of the architecture function's decisions, compliance assessments, capability assessments and project portfolio. Reconstruct the three outstanding cases from the Architecture Board minutes and the compliance assessments already performed, and require from now on that any approved departure is entered as a dispensation with its scope, conditions and expiry, so that the authority for every departure is auditable.
c) Perform a compliance assessment of each of the three projects now, and record the outcome against the technology standards set. Treat any departure for which no approval can be evidenced as non-conformant until the project either returns to the standard or obtains an approval.
d) Record the three departures in the Standards Information Base as additional supported standards, so that the inventory of standards matches the technology actually deployed and the three projects are no longer in breach.
09. Larkspur Media produces and distributes factual television and podcasts. Its architecture function is four years old, has an established Architecture Board, and has completed two Architecture Development Method cycles.
Four pieces of work have reached the Chief Architect within the same month, and she has asked for one plan covering all of them for the next twelve months.
First, Larkspur has acquired a small production company with no architecture practice at all. The acquisition is to keep its own systems for two years, but the group intends to bring it inside group governance, and there is nobody there who knows what that means.
Second, the target architecture for the content supply chain, from commissioning through post-production to delivery, has been approved at vision level only. The business and information systems architectures for it have not been developed.
Third, a budget reduction announced last quarter has made the approved Architecture Roadmap undeliverable in its current sequence. The work packages are still right; the order and the funding profile are not.
Fourth, three projects in the current portfolio have been reported by the compliance assessments as building outside the approved architecture, and the Architecture Board has asked for a standing response rather than three separate papers.
Refer to the Larkspur Media scenario. You are the Lead Architect. You have been asked to recommend how the next twelve months of architecture activity should be organized.
Based on the TOGAF Standard, which of the following is the best answer?
a) Treat the four as four different kinds of iteration and plan them concurrently with an Architecture Capability iteration to establish the practice in the acquisition, Architecture Development iterations to develop the content supply chain architectures, a Transition Planning iteration to re-sequence the roadmap against the reduced budget, and Architecture Governance iterations for the three deviating projects.
b) Run a single full Architecture Development Method cycle covering all four pieces of work in sequence, beginning with the Preliminary Phase so that the acquisition is brought inside group governance first, and carrying the content supply chain, the Architecture Roadmap and the deviating projects through the phases in order, so that one governed cycle covers everything she has been asked to plan and the Architecture Board has a single sequence of phases to oversee, recorded in the Statement of Architecture Work.
c) Handle the roadmap re-sequencing and the three deviating projects as business-as-usual governance activity outside the method, and run one Architecture Development Method cycle covering the acquisition's practice and the content supply chain architecture together, since both concern how Larkspur will work in future, which keeps the method for developmental work and leaves the immediate pressures with the teams already handling them.
d) Treat all four as change requests to the existing architecture and handle them under Phase H, since each of them arises from a change in circumstances since the last cycle closed.
10. The Lyndhurst Group provides fleet leasing and maintenance to 4,000 business customers. An architecture for contract management, vehicle lifecycle and billing was implemented two years ago and is operating. Phase H is active, with a change management process and a quarterly review.
A change has arrived. New legislation will require the group to report, per vehicle and per contract, the emissions basis on which each lease was priced, and to make that basis available to the customer and to a regulator on request. The reporting itself is not the difficulty. The difficulty is that the architecture prices a lease as a single commercial construct and does not hold the emissions basis as a distinct element at all; billing derives its figures from the contract record, and neither the contract nor the billing model has anywhere to put it.
The team's analysis establishes three things. Two stakeholder groups are materially affected, commercial pricing and customer billing, and their requirements differ. The change cannot be accommodated within the existing structure without introducing a new element into the contract model and altering how billing derives its figures. And a further consequence follows: once the emissions basis is held per vehicle, the vehicle lifecycle architecture has to carry it too.
The head of change management has proposed handling it as a normal change with a dispensation for the two affected projects.
Refer to the Lyndhurst Group scenario. You are the Lead Architect. You have been asked to recommend how the change should be handled.
Based on the TOGAF Standard, which of the following is the best answer?
a) Handle it as an incremental change, re-architecting the contract management domain alone, since that domain is where the additional element must be accommodated, and manage the consequences for billing and vehicle lifecycle as interface modifications rather than as alterations to those architectures themselves, which keeps the re-architecting effort proportionate to where the additional element actually belongs.
b) Assess the request in Phase H against the change classification and treat it as a re-architecting change, since it affects more than one stakeholder group and cannot be accommodated within the existing structure, then initiate a new Architecture Development Method cycle scoped to the affected architectures, recording the request and taking the decision through architecture governance.
c) Implement the change directly in the affected systems, in contract management, in billing and in vehicle lifecycle, so that the legislation is met, and update the Architecture Definition Document afterwards to describe the resulting arrangement.
d) Handle it through the change management process as the head of change management proposes, with a dispensation for the two affected projects so that they may depart from the established architecture while the legislation's requirements are satisfied, and reconsider the architecture at the next quarterly governance review, by which time those requirements will be settled and the architectural consequences better understood.
