TOGAF 9 Combined Part 1 and Part 2 — Question 110

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 simplifies the architecture, which aligns with the concept of simplification change in TOGAF. Options A, B, C, and D do not accurately reflect the nature of this type of architectural change, as they focus on different aspects such as incremental improvements or re-architecting rather than simplification.
