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

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 of business capability mapping as “a technique for the representation of an organization’s business anchor model, independent of the organization’s structure, processes, people, or domains” . Business capability mapping identifies, categorizes, and decomposes the business capabilities required for the business to have the ability to deliver value to one or more stakeholders. The other options are not correct, as they do not match the description of the technique marked W.

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 Series Guide: Value Streams 2, which states that “Value is a measurable improvement to a stakeholder’s situation that is perceived to be positive by that stakeholder.” Value is the element labeled 7 in the image, as it represents the benefit or outcome that is delivered to the stakeholder by the value stream. Value is always defined fromthe perspective of the stakeholder, and it can be expressed in quantitative or qualitative terms. The other options are not correct, as they do not match the element labeled 7 in the image.

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 and components of a business capability as “an ability that a business possesses to achieve a specific outcome” . A business capability consists of four components: who, what, where, and how. Who refers to the roles or actors that perform or enable the capability. What refers to the functions or activities that constitute the capability. Where refers to the locations or channels where the capability is executed or delivered. How refers to the processes or methods that govern the capability. In the image provided by the user, A and C are examples of who and what components, respectively. Therefore, A and C are roles and information, which are two types of who and what components.

This answer is based on the definition of the enables relationship in the ArchiMate 3.1 Specification 1, which states that “An enabling relationship describes how an element (e.g., a node, device, or system software) enables another element (e.g., a business process, service, or function) to function.” In this case, the value stream stage enables the business capability to function, as it provides the necessary inputs, outputs, and resources for the capability to deliver value. The other options are not correct, as they do not describe the relationship between a value stream stage and a business capability.

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 and focus of value networks as “a set of roles and interactions that are necessary to create value for a customer or beneficiary” . Value networks are primarily concerned with identifying the participants involved in creating and delivering value, as they show how different actors collaborate and exchange value with each other. Value networks can include both internal and external actors, such as suppliers, partners, customers, employees, regulators, etc. The other options are not correct, as they are not approaches to model, measure, and analyze business value that are primarily concerned with identifying the participants involved in creating and delivering value.
