TOGAF Enterprise Architecture Foundation — Question 32

Which of the following supports the need to govern Enterprise Architecture?

Answer options

• A. The Architecture Project mandates the governance of the target architecture.
• B. The TOGAF standard cannot be used without executive governance.
• C. Best practice governance enables the organization to control value realization.
• D. The Stakeholders preferences may go beyond the architecture project scope and needs control.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer, C, highlights that best practice governance is crucial for ensuring the organization can effectively manage and realize value from its initiatives. Option A is incorrect because it focuses specifically on governance of the architecture rather than the broader value realization aspect. Option B is not accurate as TOGAF can be used without executive governance, although it may benefit from it. Option D, while addressing stakeholder preferences, does not directly relate to the core reason for governance in terms of value realization.
