OGB-001 Exam Dumps : TOGAF Business Architecture Part 1

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 Standard, Version 9.2 - Phase A: Architecture Vision 3, which states that “The detailed assessment of business capability gaps belongs in Phase B as a core aspect of the Business Architecture, where the architect can help the enterprise understand gaps throughout the business, of many types, that need to be addressed in later phases of the architecture.” Therefore, Phase B is where the detailed assessment of business capability gaps occurs. The other phases are not correct for this purpose.

This answer is based on the TOGAF Series Guide: Value Streams 2, which states that “A guiding principle when creating value streams is to avoid going down to operational levels of detail. The purpose of a value stream is to provide a high-level view of how value is created and delivered by an enterprise.” Going down to operational levels of detail can make the value stream too complex and difficult to understand and communicate. It can also obscure the strategic focus and direction of the value stream. The other options are not correct, as they are not guiding principles when creating value streams.
