TOGAF 9 Foundation (Level 1) — Question 76

According to TOGAF, Which of the following best describes the classification of architectural change in the case where multiple server systems are being consolidated to a single system?

Answer options

• A. A bottom-up change to enhance operational capability
• B. An incremental change handled via change management techniques
• C. A re-architecting change that puts the whole architecture through an ADM cycle
• D. A revision change of the enterprise architecture
• E. A simplification change handled via change management techniques

Correct answer: E

Explanation

The correct answer is E because consolidating multiple server systems into a single system simplifies the architecture, reducing complexity. The other options do not accurately reflect the nature of such a consolidation; for instance, C implies a complete overhaul, which is not the case in this scenario.
