TOGAF 9 Combined Part 1 and Part 2 — Question 296

Which one of the following statements about the Requirements Management phase is true?

Answer options

• A. All requirements fed into the phase are prioritized, and those of low priority are deferred until the next iteration of the ADM cycle
• B. The phase generates the requirements for a given ADM cycle using the Business Scenario technique
• C. The phase manages the flow of requirements, storing them, and feeding them in and out of the relevant ADM phases
• D. The phase operates like a waiting room, and all requirements fed in to the phase must be resolved by the end of the current ADM cycle
• E. The phase resolves the requirements that are fed into it from the other ADM phases

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer, C, highlights that the Requirements Management phase is responsible for overseeing the flow of requirements, which includes storing and managing them as they move through the ADM phases. Other statements either inaccurately depict the role of the phase, such as A and D suggesting a strict resolution by the end of the cycle, or they misrepresent the generation or management aspects of requirements, like B and E.
