The Open Group Architecture Framework (TOGAF) Practice Exam

Which of the following is NOT included in Architecture Governance?

1. Implementing a system of controls over expenditure within the enterprise

2. Implementing a system of controls over the creation and monitoring of all architecture components and activities

3. Implementing a system to ensure compliance with internal and external standards and regulatory obligations

4. Establishing processes that support effective management of the Architecture Governance process

The correct answer is: Implementing a system of controls over expenditure within the enterprise

The correct answer indicates that implementing a system of controls over expenditure within the enterprise is not included in Architecture Governance. Architecture Governance primarily focuses on ensuring that the architecture within an organization aligns with strategic objectives, maintains compliance, and effectively manages architecture components and processes. While controlling expenditure is vital for overall enterprise management, it does not specifically relate to the principles or practices of Architecture Governance. Instead, Architecture Governance is concerned with the oversight of architecture decisions, ensuring that they adhere to the defined frameworks, standards, and principles, and that they contribute to achieving the desired business outcomes. On the other hand, the other options are integral aspects of Architecture Governance. They focus on managing architecture components, ensuring compliance with standards, and providing a structured process for managing governance itself. This alignment helps ensure that architecture-related activities support the overall strategic goals of the organization.
