OGEA-103 practice question 10 of 25

Which statement about Requirements Management is most correct?

Answer options

A: The purpose of Requirements Management is to process change requests

B: Stakeholder requirements are captured once in Phase A and managed throughout the ADM cycle

C: Requirements Management is a step of all ADM Phases

D: Requirements Management and stakeholder engagement are placed at the center of architecture development Correct answer

Correct Answer:

D. Requirements Management and stakeholder engagement are placed at the center of architecture development

Explanation

In the TOGAF 10th Edition, Requirements Management is not a static, one-time phase but a continuous, dynamic process. The Architecture Development Method (ADM) places Requirements Management and stakeholder engagement at the absolute center of architecture development. This central positioning ensures that all architecture phases are continuously driven by, and validated against, evolving business requirements and stakeholder needs throughout the entire architecture lifecycle.

Why Incorrect

A. Processing architecture change requests is the primary purpose of Phase H (Architecture Change Management), not the Requirements Management phase.
B. Stakeholder requirements are not captured just once in Phase A; they are continuously gathered, updated, and managed throughout the entire ADM cycle.
C. Requirements Management is a continuous central phase of the ADM, not a specific "step" executed within the other individual ADM phases.
