OGEA-10B practice question 19 of 25

Which section of the TOGAF template for Architecture Principles should describe the relationship to other principles?

Full set: 104 questions
Answer options
A: Name
B: Rationale Correct answer
C: Statement
D: Implications
Correct Answer:
B. Rationale
Explanation

The TOGAF standard specifies a template for defining Architecture Principles. The 'Rationale' section is designed to explain the business benefits and the reasoning for the principle. Crucially, this section should also clarify the principle's relationship to other principles, showing how they support, or are constrained by, one another. This ensures that the set of principles is coherent and consistent, preventing conflicts and highlighting synergies within the architecture governance framework.

Why Incorrect

A. Name: This is simply a unique identifier for the principle, not a description of its relationships.
C. Statement: This is the concise, formal declaration of the principle itself, focusing on the rule to be followed.
D. Implications: This section describes the consequences and impacts of adopting the principle, not its inherent relationship to others.
