Which of the following best describes Requirements Management within the TOGAF ADM?
Correct Answer: C
* Definition of Requirements Management:
* Requirements Management in the context of TOGAF ADM (Architecture Development Method) is the process of identifying, documenting, prioritizing, and managing architecture requirements throughout the ADM cycle.
* TOGAF ADM and Requirements Management:
* TOGAF ADM is a method for developing and managing the lifecycle of an enterprise architecture. It includes phases from preliminary work through to architecture change management.
* Requirements Management is a continuous process that is central to all ADM phases. It ensures that all requirements are considered throughout the ADM cycle and are managed in a way that maintains traceability and alignment with business objectives.
* Explanation of Correct answer:
* Option A, "Reviewing business requirements," is a part of the process but does not encompass the full scope of requirements management.
* Option B, "Addressing and prioritizing architecture requirements," is also part of the process but not comprehensive enough.
* Option D, "Validating requirements between ADM phases," is important but does not cover the continuous management aspect.
* Option C, "Managing architecture requirements throughout the ADM cycle," is the best answer because it correctly identifies that requirements management is an ongoing process that spans all phases of the ADM, ensuring that requirements are captured, assessed, and met throughout the lifecycle of the architecture.
