According to the TOGAF Standard, 10th Edition, architecture governance is ''the practice by which enterprise architectures and other architectures are managed and controlled at an enterprise-wide level'' 1. Architecture governance ensures that the architecture development and implementation are aligned with the strategic objectives, principles, standards, and requirements of the enterprise, and that they deliver the expected value and outcomes. Architecture governance also involves establishing and maintaining the architecture framework, repository, board, contracts, and compliance reviews 1. The other options are not correct, as they are not the term used by the TOGAF Standard to describe the practice by which the enterprise architecture is managed and controlled at an enterprise-wide level. Corporate governance is ''the system by which an organization is directed and controlled'' 2, and it covers aspects such as leadership, strategy, performance, accountability, and ethics. IT governance is ''the system by which the current and future use of IT is directed and controlled'' 2, and it covers aspects such as IT strategy, policies, standards, and services. Technology governance is ''the system by which the technology decisions and investments are directed and controlled'' 3, and it covers aspects such as technology selection, acquisition, deployment, and maintenance.
