TOGAF 9 Foundation (Level 1) — Question 274

According to TOGAF, when creating views for a particular architecture, What is the recommended first step?

Answer options

• A. Design a viewpoint to address all stakeholder concerns
• B. Develop views for the target architecture first
• C. Ensure completeness of the architecture
• D. Refer to existing libraries of viewpoints, to identify one for re-use

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because TOGAF recommends referencing existing libraries of viewpoints to leverage previously developed perspectives, which can save time and resources. Options A and B are incorrect as they suggest starting with viewpoint design or architecture views instead of utilizing existing resources, and option C is not the first step but rather a later consideration in the process.
