Questions

  1. 1.

    In the TOGAF Architecture Development Method (ADM), how do Architecture Building Blocks (ABBs) differ from Solution Building Blocks (SBBs) regarding their definition and application across ADM phases?

    • A) ABBs capture architectural requirements and specify what functionality is required during Phases A through D, whereas SBBs represent physical components that specify how functionality is implemented in Phases E and F.
    • B) ABBs represent specific commercial products and software implementations selected in Phase E, whereas SBBs define abstract business capabilities established during Phase A.
    • C) ABBs represent operational monitoring procedures used in Phase H, whereas SBBs represent governance rules created during the Preliminary Phase.
    • D) ABBs define vendor-specific implementations used during Migration Planning, whereas SBBs specify conceptual business requirements in Phase B.
  2. 2.

    In the TOGAF Architecture Development Method (ADM), how do Architecture Building Blocks (ABBs) fundamentally differ from Solution Building Blocks (SBBs)?

    • A) Architecture Building Blocks (ABBs) define the required architecture capabilities and specifications, whereas Solution Building Blocks (SBBs) represent the actual operational components or candidate products that realize those specifications.
    • B) Architecture Building Blocks (ABBs) represent the physical software and hardware assets purchased from vendors, whereas Solution Building Blocks (SBBs) define abstract business goals and drivers.
    • C) Architecture Building Blocks (ABBs) are finalized only during Phase H Architecture Change Management, whereas Solution Building Blocks (SBBs) are specified exclusively during Phase A.
    • D) Architecture Building Blocks (ABBs) define implementation timelines and budgets, whereas Solution Building Blocks (SBBs) describe high-level organizational governance principles.
