According to TOGAF, the recommended dimensions used to define the scope of an architecture include all the following, except:
TOGAF (The Open Group Architecture Framework) delineates the dimensions used to define the scope of an architecture into four dimensions: Architecture Domains, Enterprise Focus (commonly referred to as Breadth), Level of Detail (commonly termed Depth), and Time Period. These dimensions are essential to ensuring the architecture development process is well-defined and manageable. 'Subject Matter' is not one of the recognized dimensions for scoping an architecture under TOGAF, making it the correct answer for exclusion in this context.
Note for consideration, the question specifies "Scope". The scope aspect of depth = "enterprise coverage" while the characteristic aspect of depth = "subject matter". Scope: - Breadth - Depth - Time Period - Architecture Domains Characteristics: - Breadth - Depth - Time - Recency
4.5 Scoping the Architecture 4.5.1 Breadth One of the key decisions is the focus of the architecture effort 4.5.2 Depth Care should be taken to judge the appropriate level of detail to be captured 4.5.3 Time Period 4.5.4 Architecture Domains https://pubs.opengroup.org/architecture/togaf9-doc/m/chap04.html
Correct Answer 4.5 Scoping the Architecture Four dimensions are typically used in order to define and limit the scope of an architecture: Breadth Depth Time Period Architecture Domains
The four dimensions of architecture scope are explored in detail below. In each case, particularly in largescale environments where architectures are necessarily developed in a federated manner, there is a danger of architects optimizing within their own scope of activity, instead of at the level of the overall enterprise. It is often necessary to sub-optimize in a particular area, in order to optimize at the enterprise level. The aim should always be to seek the highest level of commonality and focus on scalable and re-usable modules in order to maximize re-use at the enterprise level.
