Discuss The Open Group OGA-031 Exam Topic 1 Question 2

What relationships are permitted between capabilities and requirements?

AAssigned to, associated with

BTriggers, aggregates

CAssigned to, realizes

DInfluences, realizes

Suggested Answer: C

According to the ArchiMate 3.2 Specification1, a capability is an ability that an active structure element, such as an organization, person, or system, possesses. A requirement is a statement of need that must be realized by a system. Capabilities and requirements are both motivation elements that represent the reasons for designing and implementing an architecture.

The ArchiMate language defines two relationships that are permitted between capabilities and requirements:

Assigned to: This relationship links a requirement to a core element (such as a business actor, a business service, a business process, an application service, an application component, etc.) that is responsible for realizing it. The core element may be assigned to a capability that enables it to realize the requirement.

Realizes: This relationship links a capability to a requirement that is fully or partially realized by that capability.

I thought "aggregates" was a bit off, not sure about that one.

Rolland 11 months ago

Definitely agree with "triggers" being important.

Nichelle 12 months ago

Wait, can "influences" really be a valid relationship?

Solange 12 months ago

I think "realizes" is a key term here!

Capabilities can be assigned to requirements.

I think "influences" might be relevant, but I’m not confident about how it fits with the other options.

I feel like "realizes" is a key term in this context, but I’m uncertain if it pairs with "assigned to" or something else.

I remember something about triggers and aggregates from a practice question, but I can't recall if they apply here.

I think capabilities can be assigned to requirements, but I'm not sure about the specifics of how that works.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. The question is asking about a reserve that accumulates at credited interest rates, but I'm not sure which life insurance product would have that specific feature.

This one seems pretty straightforward. I think it's just a matter of understanding how Server Protect's virus-pattern file updating works.

Hmm, I'm a little unsure about this one. I know there's a CMD statement, but I can't remember if that's the right one for defining the default command.

I think I remember that an aggregate operational audit relates to the overall supervision structure, so I might go with "True."

"Consolation" doesn't seem to fit at all; none of that description sounds reassuring! I keep coming back to "Revolution" as a strong possibility based on what I studied.
