TOGAF 9 Combined Part 1 and Part 2 — Question 158

Which of the following is a true statement about the TOGAF Technical Reference Model?

Answer options

• A. The TOGAF Architecture Development Method mandates the use of the Technical Reference Model for large complex architecture projects
• B. The Technical Reference Model is an integral part of the TOGAF Architecture Development Method
• C. The Technical Reference Model should not be modified
• D. The Technical Reference Model includes a set of graphical models and a corresponding tax-onomy
• E. The Technical Reference Model provides a direct mapping to the Zachman Framework

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D, as the Technical Reference Model indeed includes graphical models and a taxonomy that help in architectural development. Options A and B are incorrect because they suggest a mandatory requirement, whereas the model is a guideline rather than a strict mandate. Option C is misleading because while it is recommended to follow the model, it can be adapted as necessary, and option E is incorrect as the Technical Reference Model does not provide a direct mapping to the Zachman Framework.
