is the art and science of designing complex structures, which involves fundamental concepts or properties of a system in its environment, embodied in its elements, relationships, and in the principles of its design and evolution (Lankhorst, 2017). It is a strategic instrument in guiding an organization through a planned course of development.

Architecture

is a collection of organizations that has a common set of goals, objectives, and/or a single targeted outcome.

Enterprise

is a coherent collection of principles, methods, and models that are used in the design and realization of an enterprise’s organizational structure, business processes, information systems, and infrastructure

Enterprise architecture

Which statement best describes the architecture process According to Lankhorst (2017)

it is composed of steps that originate from an idea, which are analyzed and designed, implemented as an operational system, and managed for maintenance and updates.

These pertain to the organizational and IT infrastructure and processes.

Internal Drivers

o Vision and mission of an organization o Availability of technology o Business process

Internal Drivers

These pertain to the business and IT strategies and standards.

External Drivers

o Regulatory frameworks o Government laws o Industry and technological standards

External Drivers

It is the identification, selection, and implementation of an organization’s long-term goals and objectives (Association for Project Management, n.d.)

Strategic Management

This is a management system that helps an enterprise to clarify and implement its vision and strategy. It suggests viewing an enterprise from four (4) perspectives: 1. Customer perspective 2. Financial perspective 3. Internal business process perspective 4. Learning and growth perspective.

Balanced Scorecard (BSC)

It is the development of a model that identifies the products or services the business will sell, the target market it has identified, and the expenses it anticipates (Kopp, 2019).

Business Model Development

This is a template in creating high-level descriptions of new or existing business models. It consists the following elements: value propositions, key activities, key resources, key partners, customer segments, customer relationships, channels, cost structure, and revenue streams. These are laid out in a user-friendly and intuitive manner.

Business Model Canvas

It is the act of overseeing different activities and tasks within an organization to ensure that the products and services offered, as well as the means used to achieve them, are effective in achieving and maintaining the desired level of quality within an organization (Corporate Finance Institute, n.d.).

Quality Management

It involves the processes that ensure the effective and efficient use of information technology in enabling an organization to achieve its goals (Gartner, Inc., n.d.).

IT Governance and Support

It is an internationally accepted IT control framework that provides organizations with a set of “good practices” that helps in implementing an IT governance structure throughout an organization.

Control Objectives for Information and Related Technology (COBIT)

This is the most widely accepted set of best practices in the IT service delivery domain, which is composed of series of documents giving guidance on the provision of good IT services, including the facilities that need IT support, in a process-oriented approach.

Information Technology Infrastructure Library (ITIL)

It involves the process of combining the developed software or application with the other management and engineering processes (Lankhorst, 2017).

IT Implementation

This is a model that provides numerous guidelines for assessing the maturity of an organization and the improvements needed in various process areas to proceed from one level to the next.

Capability Maturity Model Integration (CMMI)

The Processes are usually impromptu and chaotic.

Initial

The Processes are planned, performed, measured, and controlled.

Managed

The Processes are defined in terms of standards, procedures, tools, and methods.

Defined

It is for quality and process performance are established and used as criteria in managing process.

Quantitatively Managed

Processes are continuously improved in the technological aspect of the organization.

Optimizing

Which sentence is NOT TRUE about ArchiMate Specification?

It is the identification, selection, and implementation of an organization’s long-term goals and objectives

This model expresses the properties of a system architecture using symbols that refer to reality.

Symbolic Model

This model interprets the meaning of each symbol in a symbolic model.

Semantic Model

Which statement is NOT TRUE about the Zachmann Framework

This addresses the organization, processes, skills, roles, and responsibilities required to establish and operate an architecture within an enterprise.

It originated as a generic framework and a methodology for developing technical architectures, which evolved into an enterprise architecture framework and method

The Open Group Architecture Framework (TOGAF)

TOGAF stands for?

The Open Group Architecture Framework

This addresses the organization, processes, skills, roles, and responsibilities required to establish and operate an architecture within an enterprise.

Architecture Capability Framework

This comprises various reference models that illustrate how architectures are developed across a wide variety of foundational architectures such as common system architecture, industry-specific architecture, and individually-owned enterprise. These are the following reference models: o Technical Reference Model o Building Blocks Information Base o Open Group’s Standards Information Base (SIB)

Enterprise Continuum

aims to provide an open and vendor- neutral approach to interoperability and raises the level of abstraction in enterprise architecture (Lankhorst, 2017). It provides guidelines for structuring software specifications that are expressed as models. It also separates the business and application logic from the underlying platform technology

Model-Driven Architecture (MDA)

It provides a standard repository of MDA model and defines structures that help multiple groups work with a model while having a standard view

Meta-Object Facility (MOF)

It is an established industry standard for data repository integration, standardized database model representation, schema transformation models, and data mining models.

Common Warehouse Metamodel (CWM)

This mapping expresses Unified Modeling Language (UML) models in Extensible Markup Language (XML) and allows it to be moved around an enterprise as it progresses from analysis to modeling and to application.

XML Metadata Interchange (XMI)

is a key feature of MDA, which is a set of rules and techniques used to modify one (1) model to come up with a new model.

Mapping

This includes the business requirements and business model or domain model that describes the state of the enterprise where the system will be integrated. Thisabstracts the automated data processing system.

Computation Independent Model (CIM)

This describes the internal structure of an operating system while abstracting specific details for a particular platform. This also shows that a certain part of a complete set of specifications does not change from one platform to another.

Platform-Independent Model (PIM)

This combines the specifications in the PIM and the details on how a system uses a particular type of platform.
