The TOGAF Standard describes different levels of architecture abstraction within the Architecture Landscape. Which level provides a long-term, summary, cross-organizational view of the entire enterprise's architecture, encompassing all four architecture domains?
AStrategic Architecture
BSegment Architecture
CCapability Architecture
DSolution Architecture
Show answer & explanation
A is correct. TOGAF describes three levels of architecture abstraction — Strategic, Segment, and Capability — that trade off breadth for detail. Strategic Architecture is the broadest and most summary-level, covering the entire enterprise over the long term.

An architecture team identifies a significant risk during the Preliminary Phase and then applies mitigating actions, such as strengthened governance and additional stakeholder communication, to reduce its impact. According to the TOGAF Standard's risk management approach, what is the term for the level of risk that remains after these mitigating actions have been applied?
AInitial risk
BResidual risk
CAbsolute risk
DInherent risk
Show answer & explanation
B is correct. The TOGAF risk management technique classifies risk levels before and after mitigation as initial risk and residual risk respectively, helping the architecture team decide whether further action is needed or the remaining exposure is acceptable.

According to the TOGAF Standard, which statement best describes what is meant by the term 'enterprise'?
AAny collection of organizations with a common set of goals, which may be a whole corporation, one of its divisions, a government agency, or a group of geographically dispersed organizations linked by common ownership.
BA single legal entity that is formally registered with a national government for taxation and regulatory purposes.
CA single business unit that independently produces one distinct product or service line for external customers.
DThe information technology department together with its infrastructure, applications, and data assets.
Show answer & explanation
A is correct. The TOGAF Standard defines an enterprise broadly as any collection of organizations with a common set of goals and/or a single bottom line, ranging from a government agency or a whole corporation down to a single department, or even a network of geographically distributed organizations linked by common ownership. This flexible scoping is what allows TOGAF and the ADM to be applied consistently at different organizational levels. Options that tie 'enterprise' to a legal entity, an IT department, or a single product line misrepresent this deliberately broad definition.
