TOGAF Business Architecture Foundation — Question 52

Question: Which of the following best describes a business capability map?

Answer options

• A. A self-contained view of the business that is independent of organizational structure, business processes, systems and applications.
• B. The highest-level description of an organization, covering all missions and functions of the business.
• C. A holistic representation of capabilities, including end-to-end delivery value, and the relationships between these capabilities.
• D. A reference model that provides a conceptual definition of all the key building blocks within a business architecture.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer, A, accurately describes a business capability map as an independent view of business capabilities, divorced from other factors. Option B is incorrect because it refers to a broader overview rather than a specific map. Option C describes a holistic view that includes relationships, which is not the sole focus of a capability map. Option D discusses a reference model, which does not align with the specific definition of a capability map.
