Sample question 1 — Stakeholder Management
A pharmaceutical group's architecture description is a single dense technical document. Executives find it unreadable while engineers find it too abstract. The chief architect wants each audience to receive information aligned to its concerns. What should be produced?
- A. A short executive summary that replaces the engineering-level content entirely.
- B. The same document issued with a glossary explaining the technical vocabulary.
- C. Tailored views built for the specific concerns of each audience and viewpoint.
- D. One larger document that explains every technical detail to all audiences equally.
Answer: C. Option C is the strongest response. TOGAF expects the architecture to be presented through tailored views built for the specific concerns of each audience and the viewpoints that address them, so executives and engineers each get what they need. Option B's glossary only explains vocabulary and leaves the dense document unchanged. Option D enlarges the single document, which serves neither audience well, and Option A's executive summary replaces the engineering content entirely, leaving the engineers without the detail their concerns require.
