The Open Group OGB-001 TOGAF Business Architecture Part 1 Exam Practice Test

This answer is based on the color-coding of the business capability model, which indicates the desired maturity levels of each capability. Red cells mean that the capability is two or more levels away from the desired maturity level, yellow cells mean that the capability is one level away, green cells mean that the capability has achieved the desired maturity level, and purple cells mean that the capability is missing or not defined. According to this logic, the capabilities that need immediate attention are those that are red, which are Customer Management, Training Management and Partner Management. The capabilities that need attention are those that are yellow, which are Market Planning, HR Management and Government Relations Management. The capability that is missing as a Core capability is Agent Management, which ispurple. The rest of the capabilities are green, which means they have reached the desired maturity level.

This answer is based on the definition of an information map as “a visualization tool and can show either the index of information that is available or required and where it can be found, or the flow of information and will comprise information elements and the relation between them” 1. An information map is a way to represent the business vocabulary and the associations among different information concepts. It is not a target description of information assets, a description of the business units, or a representation of where the business information is held, which are different aspects of information management.

This answer is based on the definition of a business capability as “an ability that a business possesses to achieve a specific outcome” 1. A business capability defines “what” a business does at its core, not “how” or “where” it does it 2. Therefore, to define a business capability, one needs to identify and describe what needs to be done by the business in support of its overall mission, which is the ultimate outcome that the business seeks to achieve. The other options are not correct because they describe different aspects of business analysis or architecture, such as defining the business problem, identifying the actors and roles, or documenting the project scope.

This answer is based on the TOGAF Series Guide: Business Capabilities , which states that “A business capability model is a structured representation of the capabilities of an organization. It is typically structured using two concepts: categorizing and grouping.” Categorizing is the process of assigning capabilities to different categories based on their nature, purpose, or function. Grouping is the process of arranging capabilities into different levels or layers based on their granularity, abstraction, or dependency. The other options are not correct, as they are not concepts used for structuring a business capability model.

This answer is based on the definition and purpose of heat mapping as “a technique for visualizing data where values are depicted by color” 3. Heat mapping is a technique that can be applied to a business capability model to represent different levels or aspects of the capabilities using a color scale. For example, the colors can indicate the maturity, importance, performance, or alignment of the capabilities. In the image provided by the user, the colors represent different levels of maturity or readiness for transformation. The other options are not correct, as they are not techniques that use colors to represent levels or aspects of capabilities.

This answer is based on the TOGAF Standard, Version 9.2 - Business Scenarios , which states that “The Planning Step ensures that each iteration is managed as a mini-project. It involves defining the scope of work for each iteration; identifying the participants; scheduling the activities; allocating resources; defining deliverables; establishing quality criteria; and setting up communication channels.” The Planning Step is part of the development process of a business scenario, which consists of four steps: Planning, Gathering, Documenting, and Reviewing. The other options are not correct, as they are not steps that ensure that each iteration is managed as a mini-project.

This answer is based on the definition of a TOGAF Business Scenario as “a technique for articulating, developing, and validating the requirements of the business” 1. A TOGAF Business Scenario is a complete description of a business problem in both business and architectural terms, which enables individual requirements to be viewed in relation to one another in the context of the overall problem. A TOGAF Business Scenario consists of six elements: business environment, actors, roles, business process, desired outcome, and quality attributes. The other options are not correct, as they do not describe a TOGAF Business Scenario.

This answer is based on the definition and purpose of a business capability map as “a technique for the representation of an organization’s business anchor model, independent of the organization’s structure, processes, people, or domains” . A business capability map is an end product of business capability modeling, as it shows the complete set of capabilities thatan organization possesses or requires to achieve its goals and objectives. A business capability map provides a high-level and stable view of what a business does or can do, regardless of how or where it does it. The other options are not correct, as they are not end products of business capability modeling.

This answer is based on the TOGAF Series Guide: Business Capabilities , which states that “The fundamental concepts that should be considered when creating an Architecture Vision are business capabilities, organization maps, and value streams.” These concepts help to define and communicate the essence of what a business does or can do, how it is organized and structured, and how it delivers value to its stakeholders. The other options are not correct, as they are not fundamental business architecture concepts that should be considered when creating an Architecture Vision.
