TOGAF 9 Foundation (Level 1) — Question 183

Which one of the following statements about the Requirements Management phase is true?

Answer options

• A. All requirements fed into the phase are prioritized, and those of low priority are deferred until the next iteration of the ADM cycle
• B. The phase generates the requirements for a given ADM cycle using the Business Scenario technique
• C. The phase manages the flow of requirements, storing them, and feeding them in and out of the relevant ADM phases
• D. The phase operates like a waiting room, and all requirements fed in to the phase must be resolved by the end of the current ADM cycle
• E. The phase resolves the requirements that are fed into it from the other ADM phases

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because the Requirements Management phase is responsible for managing the flow of requirements, ensuring they are stored and appropriately distributed throughout the relevant phases of the ADM cycle. Option A is incorrect as not all low-priority requirements are deferred, option B is wrong because the phase does not generate requirements but manages them, option D is misleading as not all requirements need to be resolved by the end of the cycle, and option E inaccurately describes the role of the phase as it does not solely resolve requirements from other phases.
