  1. The Department of Defense Architecture Framework (DoDAF) uses 'viewpoints' to organize architectural data. Which DoDAF viewpoint describes operational activities, tasks, and resource flows?

    Answer: Operational Viewpoint (OV)

    The Operational Viewpoint (OV) in DoDAF describes the tasks, activities, operational elements, and resource flows required to conduct operations.

  2. Which TOGAF concept refers to reusable, packaged solutions that provide specific business functions and can be assembled to build complete enterprise architectures?

    Answer: Solution Building Blocks (SBBs)

    Solution Building Blocks (SBBs) in TOGAF represent specific products or components that fulfill Architecture Building Blocks (ABBs) and can be directly implemented in the enterprise.

  3. In the context of enterprise architecture maturity models, what does an organization at NASCIO's EA Maturity Level 3 ('Defined') typically demonstrate?

    Answer: Documented and standardized EA processes across the organization

    At NASCIO EA Maturity Level 3 (Defined), organizations have documented, standardized, and communicated EA processes that are consistently applied across the enterprise.

  4. The Open Group Architecture Framework (TOGAF) categorizes architectures into four domains. Which domain specifically addresses the software applications, their interactions, and relationships to business processes?

    Answer: Application Architecture

    Application Architecture in TOGAF defines the individual application systems deployed, their interactions, and their relationships to core business processes of the organization.

  5. Which enterprise architecture principle states that technology decisions should be made to minimize the diversity of technology components across the enterprise?

    Answer: Technology Standardization

    Technology Standardization as an EA principle advocates for reducing the variety of technology components to lower maintenance costs, simplify support, and improve integration across the enterprise.

  6. In TOGAF, what is the primary output of Phase E (Opportunities and Solutions)?

    Answer: An initial complete version of the Architecture Roadmap

    Phase E (Opportunities and Solutions) produces the initial complete version of the Architecture Roadmap, which identifies work packages, transition architectures, and an implementation and migration plan.

  7. Which framework was specifically developed by the US Government to provide a common approach to federal IT planning and investment, incorporating five reference models aligned to government services?

    Answer: FEAF (Federal Enterprise Architecture Framework)

    FEAF (Federal Enterprise Architecture Framework) was developed specifically for US federal agencies to provide a common taxonomy and ontology for planning and managing IT investments across the government.
