A view is a representation of a while system from the perspective of a related set of concerns
An architectural description is a collection of artifacts that document an architecture
Concerns are the key interests that are crucially important to the stakeholders in the system and determine the acceptability of the system.
A system is a regularly interacting or interdependent group of items forming a unified whole.

Initial Level of Risk is the risk categorisation prior to determining and implementing mitigating actions
The activities in risk management are Risk Identification, Risk Quantification, Risk Response Development and Risk Response Control.
TOGAF states the basic premise of Gap Analysis is to: Highlight a shortfall between the Baseline Architecture and the Target Architecture
Highlight stakeholders which have not been addressed
Validate an architecture to consider what may have been forgotten
Compare Baseline Architecture ABBs with Target Architecture ABBs identifying the building blocks which are ‘New, Eliminated and Included’
Identify potential sources of gaps from the business, data, applications and technology domains.
Which answer is not an accurate statement about TOGAF Business Scenarios?
Business Scenarios describe a method for deriving business requirements for architecture and the implied technical requirements
Business Scenarios define requirements for sharing information and services within an organisation
Business Scenarios are principally used during the Architecture Vision and Business Architecture phases of the ADM.
