Developer Platform & Enablement — CCAR-P Practice Question
A representative Claude Certified Architect - Professional (CCAR-P) exam question on Developer Platform & Enablement. Work through it below, then read why each option is right or wrong.
Short answer
The correct answer is B. Approved templates with identity, logging, eval, tool-policy, and deployment defaults plus a paved path and exception process.
A paved path turns governance into reusable engineering defaults while preserving an explicit route for justified exceptions. Shared secrets and prompt mandates do not create safe operations.
The Question
Multiple teams are building Claude applications with inconsistent security and evaluation practices. What should a platform team provide first?
Why B is correct
A paved path turns governance into reusable engineering defaults while preserving an explicit route for justified exceptions. Shared secrets and prompt mandates do not create safe operations.
Why the other options are wrong
Option A does not satisfy the requirement in the scenario. Review the explanation above: the correct choice (B) is the only one that fully meets every constraint stated in the question.
Option C does not satisfy the requirement in the scenario. Review the explanation above: the correct choice (B) is the only one that fully meets every constraint stated in the question.
Option D does not satisfy the requirement in the scenario. Review the explanation above: the correct choice (B) is the only one that fully meets every constraint stated in the question.
Key idea: Developer Platform & Enablement
A paved path turns governance into reusable engineering defaults while preserving an explicit route for justified exceptions. Shared secrets and prompt mandates do not create safe operations. On the CCAR-P exam, questions in the "Developer Productivity and Operational Enablement" domain test whether you can map a scenario's constraints to the right choice. Read the requirement carefully, eliminate options that violate any single constraint, and pick the one that satisfies all of them with the least operational overhead.
