This answer is based on the definition of exit criteria in the TOGAF Series Guide: Value Streams 2, which states that "Exit criteria are a set of conditions that must be met before proceeding to the next stage in a value stream. They are used to ensure that the value stream stage has been completed successfully and that the required outputs have been produced." Exit criteria describe the end state condition that denotes the completion of a value stream stage, as they indicate that the stage has achieved its objectives and can move on to the next stage. The other options are not correct, as they do not describe the element of a value stream stage that denotes its completion.

This answer is based on the definition of Statement of Architecture Work in the TOGAF Standard, Version 9.2 - Phase A: Architecture Vision 3, which states that "The Statement of Architecture Work is a document that may form the basis of a contractual agreement between the supplier and consumer of architecture services. It defines what will be delivered by an architecture project, how it will be delivered, when it will be delivered, and how much it will cost." The Statement of Architecture Work is an input to Phase B, as it provides the scope, approach, constraints, assumptions, risks, and deliverables of the architecture project. The other options are not correct, as they are not documents that may form the basis of a contractual agreement between the supplier and consumer of architecture services.

This answer is based on the definition of business capability mapping as "a technique for the representation of an organization's business anchor model, independent of the organization's structure, processes, people, or domains" . Business capability mapping identifies, categorizes, and decomposes the business capabilities required for the business to have the ability to deliver value to one or more stakeholders. The other options are not correct, as they do not match the description of the technique marked W.

This answer is based on the TOGAF Standard, Version 9.2 - Phase B: Business Architecture , which states that "The objective here is to identify candidate Architecture Roadmap components based upon gaps between the Baseline and Target Business Architectures." The Architecture Roadmap is a document that outlines the work packages, projects, and programs required to implement the target architecture. The gaps between the Baseline and Target Business Architectures are the differences or deficiencies in the current and future states of the business that need to be addressed by the architecture project. The other options are not correct, as they are not the basis for identifying candidate Architecture Roadmap components.

This answer is based on the TOGAF Series Guide: Business Capabilities , which states that "The fundamental concepts that should be considered when creating an Architecture Vision are business capabilities, organization maps, and value streams." These concepts help to define and communicate the essence of what a business does or can do, how it is organized and structured, and how it delivers value to its stakeholders. The other options are not correct, as they are not fundamental business architecture concepts that should be considered when creating an Architecture Vision.

This answer is based on the TOGAF Standard, Version 9.2 - Phase A: Architecture Vision 1, which states that "Business principles, business goals, and strategic drivers of the organization are already defined elsewhere in the enterprise. If so, the activity in Phase A is involved with ensuring that existing definitions are current, and clarifying any areas of ambiguity. Otherwise, it involves defining these essential items from scratch." Business principles, goals, and drivers provide context for the architecture work by describing the needs and ways of working of the enterprise. They define the desired outcomes, the guiding values, and the strategic direction of the enterprise. They also help to align the architecture work with the business strategy and objectives. The other options are not correct, as they do not provide context for the architecture work in Phase A.

This answer is based on the TOGAF Series Guide: Value Streams 2, which states that "Value is a measurable improvement to a stakeholder's situation that is perceived to be positive by that stakeholder." Value is the element labeled 7 in the image, as it represents the benefit or outcome that is delivered to the stakeholder by the value stream. Value is always defined from the perspective of the stakeholder, and it can be expressed in quantitative or qualitative terms. The other options are not correct, as they do not match the element labeled 7 in the image.

This answer is based on the TOGAF Series Guide: Business Capabilities 3, which states that "Mapping capabilities to value stream stages allows an organization to identify which capabilities are critical to deliver value to stakeholders and which capabilities are less important or even unnecessary."

Mapping capabilities to value stream stages helps to assess the alignment and impact of the business capabilities on the value delivery process. It also helps to prioritize and optimize the capabilities based on their contribution to value creation. The other options are not correct, as they are not purposes of mapping capabilities to value stream stages.

This answer is based on the TOGAF Series Guide: Value Streams 2, which states that "A guiding principle when creating value streams is to avoid going down to operational levels of detail. The purpose of a value stream is to provide a high-level view of how value is created and delivered by an enterprise." Going down to operational levels of detail can make the value stream too complex and difficult to understand and communicate. It can also obscure the strategic focus and direction of the value stream. The other options are not correct, as they are not guiding principles when creating value streams.
