TOGAF 9 Foundation (Level 1) — Question 18

According to TOGAF, Which of the following is the usual approach for developing the Baseline Business Architecture if no architecture or few architecture assets exist?

Answer options

• A. Bottom up
• B. Envisioning
• C. Extensive
• D. Refactoring
• E. Top down

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A, 'Bottom up,' as it suggests starting with existing components and gradually building the architecture. Other options like 'Top down' imply starting from a high-level view, which is not suitable when few assets are present, while 'Envisioning,' 'Extensive,' and 'Refactoring' do not align with the foundational approach needed in this context.
