The Open Group Certification Changed OGBA-101 Questions

The TOGAF Architecture Repository is a key resource for managing architectural artifacts and information. It's structured to hold different types of architectural assets, and the Solutions Landscape plays a specific role within it.

Here's why option C is correct:

Solutions Landscape Definition: This component of the repository specifically houses the Solution Building Blocks (SBBs). SBBs are reusable components that represent a specific function or capability. They can be combined and configured to deliver solutions that meet business needs.

Supporting the Architecture Landscape: The Architecture Landscape provides a broad view of the organization's architecture at specific points in time. The Solutions Landscape supports this by showing how SBBs are deployed or planned to realize the architectures defined in the Architecture Landscape.

Visual Representation: The Solutions Landscape offers a visual representation of the relationships between SBBs and how they contribute to the overall architecture. This helps stakeholders understand the implementation of the architecture.

The diagram provided illustrates a Capability Map. Here's why:

Focus on "what" the organization does: The diagram depicts various functions and activities that the organization performs, such as "Program/Human Resource Matching," "Employee Supply and Demand Mgmt," "Benefits Management," etc. These represent the capabilities of the organization, or what it is able to do.

Hierarchical structure: The capabilities are organized hierarchically, with broader functions like "HR Mgmt." encompassing more specific capabilities like "Position Advertising" and "Skills Assessment." This shows how different capabilities relate to each other and contribute to higher-level functions.

No specific process flow: Unlike a process map or value stream map, this diagram doesn't show a sequence of steps or flow of activities. It focuses on the capabilities themselves, not how they are executed

In the provided diagram, item A refers to the Architecture Repository, which is a part of the TOGAF framework where all the architecture assets are stored. This includes the architectural models, patterns, architecture descriptions, and other artifacts relevant to the architecture. Item B is labeled as the Governing Board, which is likely referring to the Architecture Board or a similar governance structure responsible for oversight and decision-making regarding the enterprise architecture. Item C refers to Enterprise Capability, which encompasses the processes, tools, skills, and other capabilities that enable the architecture function within the enterprise.
