OGEA-103 Exam Dumps - TOGAF Enterprise Architecture Combined Part 1 and Part 2 Exam

Phases B, C, and D of the TOGAF ADM are the main domain architecture development phases . Phase B develops the Business Architecture , Phase C develops the Information Systems Architectures , covering Data and Application Architecture, and Phase D develops the Technology Architecture . The output from these phases is not completed implementation work, nor is it an approved project schedule. Instead, each phase produces a domain architecture that has been reviewed and accepted by relevant stakeholders.

A key output from these phases is also the identification of gaps between the Baseline Architecture and Target Architecture. These gaps represent the changes required to move from the current state to the desired future state. The identified work to resolve those gaps is later used to support roadmap development, transition planning, and implementation planning in subsequent ADM phases.

Option A refers to completed implementation, which occurs after architecture development. Option B is closer to approval documentation but is too general. Option D describes project planning outputs, which are associated with later migration and implementation planning. Therefore, the best TOGAF answer is C .

The Request for Architecture Work is a deliverable that is sent from the sponsor and triggers the start of an architecture development cycle. It defines the scope, budget, schedule, and deliverables for a specific architecture project. The Statement of Architecture Work is a deliverable that is produced by the architect and defines the approach and resources needed to complete an architecture project. It forms the basis of a contractual agreement between the sponsor and the architecture organization. The Architecture Principles are a deliverable that is produced by the architect and defines the general rules and guidelines for the architecture work. They reflect the business principles, business goals, and business drivers of the organization. The Architecture Requirements Specification is a deliverable that is produced by the architect and defines the requirements that govern the architecture work. It covers both functional and non-functional requirements as well as constraints and assumptions. 

The Enterprise Continuum provides methods for classifying architecture artifacts as they evolve from generic architectures to Organization-Specific Architectures. Generic architectures are architectures that have been developed for use across a wide range of enterprises with similar characteristics. They provide common models, functions, and services that can be reused and adapted for specific purposes. Organization-Specific Architectures are architectures that have been tailored to meet the needs and requirements of a particular enterprise or a major organizational unit within an enterprise. They reflect the unique vision, goals, culture, structure, processes, systems, and technologies of that enterprise or unit. Reference: The TOGAF® Standard | The Open Group Website, Section 2.3 Enterprise Continuum.

According to the TOGAF standard, the objectives of each ADM phase are as follows1:

•Phase E: Opportunities and Solutions

oDetermine whether an incremental approach is required, and if so identify Transition Architectures that will deliver continuous business value

oIdentify and group major work packages within the Architecture Roadmap

oIdentify and group major implementation projects to realize the Architecture Roadmap

oIdentify dependencies between increments and projects

oEstimate cost, benefit, and risk at a high level for each increment and project

oConduct initial prioritization and sequencing of the Architecture Roadmap and projects

•Phase F: Migration Planning

oGenerate the initial complete version of the Architecture Roadmap, based upon the gap analysis and candidate Architecture Roadmap components from Phases B, C, and D

oConfirm the Transition Architectures with relevant stakeholders

oCreate the Implementation and Migration Plan, including Transition Architectures, work packages, projects, and other activities

oConfirm and agree the Architecture Roadmap and Implementation and Migration Plan with relevant stakeholders

•Phase G: Implementation Governance

oFinalize the Architecture Roadmap and the supporting Implementation and Migration Plan

oEnsure conformance with the Target Architecture by implementation projects

oPerform appropriate Architecture Governance functions for the solution and any implementation-driven architecture Change Requests

oEnsure that the architecture lifecycle is maintained

oEnsure that the Architecture Governance Framework is executed

•Phase H: Architecture Change Management

oEnsure that the business value and cost of work packages and Transition Architectures is understood by key stakeholders

oManage risks and issues related to the Architecture Roadmap and Implementation and Migration Plan

oMonitor the implementation projects and Transition Architectures

oManage changes to the architecture baseline

oManage changes to the Architecture Capability

Therefore, the correct matching of the objectives and the phases is:

•1G: Determine whether an incremental approach is required, and if so identify Transition Architectures that will deliver continuous business value

•2E: Generate the initial complete version of the Architecture Roadmap, based upon the gap analysis and candidate Architecture Roadmap components from Phases B, C, and D

•3F: Finalize the Architecture Roadmap and the supporting Implementation and Migration Plan

•4F: Ensure that the business value and cost of work packages and Transition Architectures is understood by key stakeholders

A business scenario describes business and technology environment in which those problems occur. It provides a realistic context for identifying and addressing business problems and opportunities, as well as their impact on the enterprise’s architecture. Reference: The TOGAF® Standard | The Open Group Website, Section 3.3.1 Business Scenarios.

Building blocks are reusable components of business, IT, or architectural capability that can be combined to deliver architectures and solutions. Building blocks can be defined at various levels of detail, depending on the stage of architecture development. In the earlier phases of the ADM cycle (A to D), building blocks are defined in generic terms, such as logical or physical, to provide a high-level view of the architecture. In Phase E: Opportunities and Solutions, building blocks become implementation-specific, meaning that they are linked to specific products,standards, technologies, and vendors that are available in the market. This phase also identifies the delivery vehicles, such as projects, programs, or portfolios, that will realize the building blocks12 References: 1: The TOGAF Standard, Version 9.2, Part II: Architecture Development Method (ADM), Chapter 23: Phase E: Opportunities and Solutions 2: The TOGAF Standard, Version 9.2, Part IV: Architecture Content Framework, Chapter 36: Building Blocks

According to the TOGAF standard, the Target Architecture is the description of a future state of the architecture being developed for an organization. It should be aligned with the Architecture Vision, Principles, and Requirements that have been agreed with the stakeholders. To address the incompatibilities between key stakeholder preferences, the TOGAF standard recommends creating and evaluating multiple alternative Target Architectures that meet different sets of criteria. These criteria should reflect the value preferences and priorities of the stakeholders, as well as the business drivers and objectives. The alternative Target Architectures should be illustrated using a set of architecture views that show the impact of each alternative on the business, data, application, and technology domains. The impact on planned projects should also be identified and analyzed. The strengths and weaknesses of each alternative should be understood and documented. A formal stakeholder review should then be conducted to decide which alternative is the most fit for purpose and should be moved forward with. The funding required for implementing the chosen alternative should also be determined and secured. References:

Option D most precisely reflects the TOGAF example Architecture Principles and aligns directly with the explicit constraints described in the scenario.

The healthcare environment described is highly regulated, data-sensitive, and operationally life-critical. The principle Common Vocabulary and Data Definitions is fundamental because the organization shares electronic health records across providers and relies on standardized medical coding. For AI-based systems to function correctly and safely, consistent interpretation of clinical data across divisions is mandatory.

The principle Data Security directly addresses the requirements for privacy, prevention of breaches, regulatory compliance, integrity of patient records, and continuous availability of systems that support life-critical operations. In healthcare, availability is not merely operational—it is safety-related.

The principle Requirements-Based Change ensures that architecture decisions are driven by validated business and clinical requirements. The scenario clearly emphasizes patient outcomes, life-critical timing, and minimal disruption. This principle ensures AI adoption is justified by measurable clinical and business needs rather than by competitive pressure alone.

The other options contain partially relevant principles but do not collectively address clinical data consistency, regulatory protection, safety, and requirement traceability as comprehensively as Option D.

Therefore, according to TOGAF Architecture Principles guidance, Option D is the best answer.
