Body of Knowledge

TOGAF Standard, 10th Edition with Technical Corrigendum 1 applied

OGEA-101 has 40 one-point multiple-choice questions in 60 minutes, is supervised and closed-book, and requires 24/40 (60%) to pass. Eligible ESL candidates may receive 30 additional minutes under The Open Group's current eligibility rules. The official exam plan fixes six domain counts at 8/14/6/4/3/5. The local bank contains 113 editorial practice questions and does not claim to mirror the official form. The body of knowledge is defined by X2202 Version 4.0 and drawn from The TOGAF Standard, 10th Edition with Technical Corrigendum 1 applied. The Standard comprises Fundamental Content and TOGAF Series Guides; the TOGAF Library is the broader supporting collection, and Open Agile Architecture is a separate, complementary standard. Pearson VUE delivers the exam at test centers and through OnVUE. Current fees are USD $405 for a Pearson booking or $435 for a retail voucher, before applicable taxes.

Sample TOGAF® Enterprise Architecture Foundation Practice Questions

Try these sample questions to review concepts for the TOGAF® Enterprise Architecture Foundation exam. Each question includes a detailed explanation. Start the interactive quiz above for the full 113+ question experience with AI tutoring.

1How does the TOGAF Standard, 10th Edition define an enterprise?
A.A legally incorporated business that serves paying customers
B.Any organization or collection of organizations with common goals
C.One technology department responsible for enterprise systems
D.Any business unit with its own accounting records
Explanation: TOGAF defines an enterprise as any collection of organizations that has a common set of goals. The scope can be a whole corporation, a government department, a non-profit, a partnership, or even a federation of agencies. What matters is the shared mission, not the legal form. The architecture's scope is set by which organizations share that goal.
2What is Enterprise Architecture according to the TOGAF Standard, 10th Edition?
A.Design and lifecycle management of enterprise technology platforms
B.A discipline for leading coordinated change toward desired enterprise outcomes
C.A modeling language for documenting software component structures
D.Project management for scheduling and controlling technology delivery
Explanation: The TOGAF Standard frames Enterprise Architecture as a holistic discipline guiding the whole enterprise — not just IT — to respond to disruption and deliver business outcomes through coordinated change. It is distinct from software architecture and from project management.
3What are the four architecture domains in TOGAF, in BDAT order?
A.Business, Data, Application, Technology
B.Business, Design, Architecture, Testing
C.Behavioral, Distributed, Active, Tactical
D.Build, Deploy, Automate, Test
Explanation: TOGAF identifies four architecture domains: Business (processes, capabilities, organization), Data (logical and physical data assets), Application (individual applications and their interactions), and Technology (infrastructure that supports applications). They are conventionally listed in BDAT order, and Phases B, C, and D of the ADM map to them — with Phase C covering both Data and Application.
4Which describes the structure of the TOGAF Standard, 10th Edition?
A.A single monolithic book identical to TOGAF 9.2
B.Fundamental Content plus modular TOGAF Series Guides
C.A TOGAF Library that is identical to the set of Series Guides
D.An online wiki with no formal document set
Explanation: The TOGAF Standard, 10th Edition is structured as Fundamental Content plus modular TOGAF Series Guides. The TOGAF Library is the broader online collection of supporting material for applying the framework; it is not simply another name for the Series Guides. Open Agile Architecture is a separate Open Group standard, not a TOGAF Series Guide.
5How many phases does the TOGAF ADM have, counting Preliminary and Requirements Management?
A.8 phases
B.9 phases
C.10 phases
D.12 phases
Explanation: The ADM has 10 phases: Preliminary, Phase A (Architecture Vision), Phase B (Business Architecture), Phase C (Information Systems), Phase D (Technology Architecture), Phase E (Opportunities and Solutions), Phase F (Migration Planning), Phase G (Implementation Governance), Phase H (Architecture Change Management), plus Requirements Management at the centre. This count is unchanged from TOGAF 9.2.
6What sits at the centre of the ADM cycle?
A.Phase A Architecture Vision
B.Requirements Management
C.Phase G Implementation Governance
D.Enterprise Continuum
Explanation: Requirements Management is depicted at the centre of the ADM diagram because it is active throughout every other phase. Requirements emerge, get refined, or get retired during any phase, and Requirements Management coordinates their flow. It is not a phase that runs in sequence — it is a continuous central activity.
7What is the primary objective of the Preliminary Phase?
A.Develop the target Technology Architecture and its gap analysis
B.Prepare the tailored framework, principles, governance, and EA Capability
C.Agree the Architecture Contract with implementation teams
D.Sequence work packages into an approved migration plan
Explanation: The Preliminary Phase prepares the organization to do architecture work — it tailors the ADM, defines architecture principles, establishes the EA Capability, identifies sponsors, and confirms governance arrangements. It precedes Phase A and is typically performed once when establishing or re-establishing an EA practice, with periodic revisits.
8Which deliverable is produced in Phase A and signed by the Sponsor?
A.Architecture Contract
B.Statement of Architecture Work
C.Implementation and Migration Plan
D.Change Request
Explanation: The Statement of Architecture Work (SoAW) is produced in Phase A and signed by the Sponsor. It defines the scope, approach, timeline, and deliverables for the architecture engagement — effectively the contract between the architecture team and its Sponsor for the current ADM cycle. It is distinct from the Architecture Contract (Phase G), which governs implementation by delivery teams.
9Which architecture domain does Phase B develop?
A.Technology Architecture
B.Business Architecture
C.Data Architecture
D.Application Architecture
Explanation: Phase B develops the Business Architecture — the baseline and target views of the business: capabilities, value streams, business processes, organization structure, business services, business functions, and the business operating model. It is the first of the three core domain phases (B, C, D) and is the foundation for Information Systems and Technology architectures.
10Phase C of the ADM addresses which two sub-domains?
A.Business and Technology
B.Data and Application
C.Application and Technology
D.Business and Data
Explanation: Phase C — Information Systems Architecture — covers two sub-domains: Data Architecture and Application Architecture. They can be developed in either order, or in parallel, but both are part of Phase C. Technology Architecture (infrastructure) is Phase D, not C.

TOGAF® Enterprise Architecture Foundation: Suggested Study Strategy

1For every ADM phase, write a one-line purpose and objective, then connect the specified X2202 deliverables to the phases that create or consume them. Include Preliminary, Phases A through H, and the central Requirements Management process.
2Learn the current document boundaries: The TOGAF Standard, 10th Edition comprises Fundamental Content and TOGAF Series Guides. The TOGAF Library is the broader supporting collection. Open Agile Architecture is a separate, complementary standard and Body of Knowledge, not a TOGAF Series Guide.
3Master the building-block concept and how building blocks can describe required capability or solution implementation. Keep that relationship distinct from deliverables and artifacts.
4Know the Content Framework at the Foundation level: stakeholders have concerns, viewpoints specify conventions for views, building blocks describe architecture content, and named deliverables are created and consumed across the ADM.
5Memorize the four-section Architecture Principle template: Name, Statement, Rationale, and Implications, and understand the characteristics of a good principle.
6Distinguish the Statement of Architecture Work developed in Phase A and approved by the sponsor from an Architecture Contract used to govern implementation in Phase G.
7Know the Architecture Repository's six logical sections: Architecture Metamodel, Architecture Capability, Architecture Landscape (in-flight + deployed), Standards Information Base (SIB), Reference Library, Governance Log. The Repository is part of the broader Enterprise Continuum.
8Distinguish a View (a representation of a system from the perspective of related concerns) from a Viewpoint (the conventions for constructing, interpreting, and using views). Technical Corrigendum 1 updated the Standard's architecture-description reference to ISO/IEC/IEEE 42010:2022; do not use the superseded 2011 citation.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the TOGAF Enterprise Architecture Foundation certification?

TOGAF® Enterprise Architecture Foundation is The Open Group's Level 1 certification. Its associated English exam is TOGAF® Enterprise Architecture Part 1 (OGEA-101), and X2202 Version 4.0 defines its learning outcomes. OGEA-103 is a Combined Part 1 and Part 2 exam route; candidates do not have to pass OGEA-101 before sitting that combined exam.

How is OGEA-101 different from OGBA-101?

OGEA-101 (TOGAF Enterprise Architecture Foundation) is broad — it covers all four architecture domains (Business, Data, Application, Technology) and the full ADM at a foundation level. OGBA-101 (TOGAF Business Architecture Foundation) is the deep-dive Foundation-level cert for the Business domain — capability maps, value streams, organization mapping, information mapping, business models. Both are Foundation level; OGEA-101 is the generalist starting point, OGBA-101 is the Business Architecture specialist starting point.

How is The TOGAF Standard, 10th Edition organized?

The current official product page says the Standard is divided into TOGAF Fundamental Content and TOGAF Series Guides. The broader TOGAF Library also contains supporting guidelines, templates, patterns, white papers, and other reference material. Open Agile Architecture has its own standard, certification, and Body of Knowledge; The Open Group describes it as complementary to TOGAF, not as a TOGAF Series Guide. Technical Corrigendum 1 was applied to the current 10th Edition publication in May 2025.

How is the OGEA-101 exam structured?

It is a supervised, closed-book exam with 40 one-point multiple-choice questions in 60 minutes; 24/40 (60%) is required to pass. The fixed exam plan is Concepts 8, Introduction to the ADM 14, Introduction to ADM Techniques 6, Introduction to Applying the ADM 4, Introduction to Architecture Governance 3, and Architecture Content 5. Eligible ESL candidates may receive 30 additional minutes under the current eligibility rules. Pearson VUE delivers the exam at test centers and through OnVUE.

How much does OGEA-101 cost?

The Open Group fee schedule effective February 1, 2026 lists a USD $405 Pearson exam-booking fee and a USD $435 retail-voucher fee for OGEA-101, before applicable taxes. The schedule can change without notice. Accredited training courses include an exam voucher, but course prices vary.

How hard is the OGEA-101 exam?

It assesses Foundation-level knowledge and comprehension. The Open Group does not publish an official pass rate, difficulty rating, or required study-hour total. Use X2202 Version 4.0 to inventory your gaps across the six official domains, then choose a preparation route and timeline that fit your prior Enterprise Architecture experience.

Is OGEA-101 valid for life?

The Open Group's current renewal guidance says TOGAF 9 certifications and later remain valid indefinitely and do not require renewal or recertification. That current validity policy does not promise a bridge path for any future edition.

Should I take OGEA-101 or OGBA-101 first?

The two are separate Foundation certifications, and neither is listed as a prerequisite for the other. Choose OGEA-101 for the broad Enterprise Architecture and ADM learning outcomes in X2202; choose OGBA-101 for the Business Architecture Foundation syllabus. OGEA-103 is a separate Combined Part 1 and Part 2 exam route rather than the certification name.
