TOGAF 9 Combined Part 1 and Part 2 — Question 204

Which one of the following best describes the purpose of a Change Request?

Answer options

• A. To act as a deliverable container for artifacts created during a project
• B. To request a dispensation or to kick-start a further cycle of architecture work
• C. To ensure that information is communicated to the right stakeholder at the right time
• D. To review project progress and ensure the implementation is inline with the objectives
• E. To ensure that the results of a Compliance Assessment are distributed to the Architecture Board

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, as a Change Request is specifically designed to initiate further work related to architecture or to seek exceptions. The other options do not accurately capture the essence of a Change Request, as they address different aspects of project management and communication rather than the initiation of architectural cycles.
