This residual risk represents the potential harm or negative impact that still exists despite the implementation of measures to reduce or control the risk.

    Rate this question:

  • 12. 

    Complete the sentence by selecting the applicable pair of words. A/an _____ is used in Phase A to help identify and understand business _____ that the architecture has to address.

    • A. activity model, perspective

    • B. business scenario, requirements

    • C. use case, interconnections

    • D. view, concerns

    • E. business transformation readiness assessment, constraints

    Correct Answer
    A. B. business scenario, requirements
    Explanation
    In Phase A of the architecture process, a business scenario is used to help identify and understand the business requirements that the architecture needs to address. A business scenario is a specific situation or example that illustrates a potential problem or opportunity within the business. By analyzing the business scenario, architects can determine the specific requirements that need to be met in order to address the identified problem or opportunity. Therefore, the pair of words "business scenario, requirements" is the most applicable in this context.

     Which of the following does the TOGAF document describe as the risk categorization prior to determining and implementing mitigating  actions?

    • A. The critical level of risk

    • B. The initial level of risk

    • C. The intermediate level of risk

    • D. The mitigated level of risk

    • E. The residual level of risk

    Correct Answer
    A. B. The initial level of risk
    Explanation
    The TOGAF document describes the initial level of risk as the risk categorization prior to determining and implementing mitigating actions. This means that before any actions are taken to mitigate the risks, the document outlines the initial level of risk that needs to be addressed. This allows for a clear understanding of the current risk level and helps in determining the appropriate mitigating actions. The document may further classify the risks into different categories based on their severity or impact, but the initial level of risk is the starting point for risk assessment and mitigation.

     Complete the sentence. The ADM can be viewed as the process of populating the enterprise's own _______________ with relevant re-usable building blocks taken from the more generic side of the Enterprise Continuum.

    • A. Architecture Repository

    • B. Architecture Requirements

    • C. Implementation and Migration plan

    • D. Standards Information Base

    • E. Strategic Architecture

    Correct Answer
    A. A. Architecture Repository
    Explanation
    The ADM can be viewed as the process of populating the enterprise's own Architecture Repository with relevant re-usable building blocks taken from the more generic side of the Enterprise Continuum. The Architecture Repository is a centralized storehouse of architectural assets, such as models, patterns, and templates, that can be reused across different projects within the enterprise. These assets are organized and classified in the repository, making it easier for architects to locate and reuse them in their own projects. By populating the Architecture Repository with relevant building blocks, the ADM ensures that architects have access to a comprehensive set of reusable assets that can accelerate the development of new architectures.
