TOGAF 9 Combined Part 1 and Part 2 — Question 112

Which one of the following statements about viewpoints is correct?

Answer options

• A. A viewpoint is always specific to an architecture
• B. A viewpoint is used to create views in Phases E and F
• C. A viewpoint is used as a template to create a view
• D. A viewpoint is what a stakeholder sees

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because a viewpoint serves as a template that guides the development of views by defining the perspective from which a system is described. Options A and D are misleading, as viewpoints can apply to multiple architectures and do not directly represent what a stakeholder sees. Option B is incorrect because viewpoints are not limited to just Phases E and F.
