McKinley Rockets is an enterprise that employs 20,000 men and women in five countries: UK, Italy, France,
Spain and the Netherlands and its mission is to guarantee access to space offering space transportation,
launch and management of satellite systems at low cost.
A TOGAF 9 mature Enterprise Architecture program is already established within the enterprise. McKinley
Rockets strategy is to leverage in the USA shortage of satellite launches availability – that NASA created
because of the Shuttle program shutdown – by acquiring an important merican space agency. This will
ultimately allow McKinley Rockets to offer its services to the US market. The new acquired company
NovaSpace is very successful but with outdated satellite monitoring systems. The
CIO is sponsoring an activity to extend the McKinley Rockets’ satellite monitoring applications to include the
NovaSpace’s satellites flock.
A task force of enterprise architects prepared an Architecture Vision and secured the approval. The
Architecture Board decided to approve the vision, provided that the Design Definition Document is presented
for review at phase D conclusion.
Refer to the scenario above
The Chief Architect asked you as Lead Integration Architect to use TOGAF 9 to recommend the best approach
to design the Full Architecture and present it to the Architecture Board.
Identify the best answer accordingly to the TOGAF 9 guidelines.
Choose one of the following answers
A.
You start with the Business Architecture and then address Technology, Application and Data domains. For
every domain you select the relevant reference models, viewpoints, and tools. You develop a Target and
Baseline Architecture Descriptions. Then perform Gap Analysis, resolve impacts across the Architecture
Landscape and update the roadmap. Finally update the Architecture Definition Document.
B.
You start with the Business Architecture and then address Data, Application and Technology domains. You
then Confirm management framework interactions for the Implementation and Migration Plan, Prioritize the
migration projects through the conduct of a cost/benefit assessment and risk validation. Then perform Gap
Analysis and update the Architecture Definition Document.
C.
You start with the Business Architecture and then address Data, Application and Technology domains. For
every domain you select the relevant reference models, viewpoints, and tools. You develop a Baseline and
Target Architecture. Then perform Gap Analysis, assess the roadmap impacts and finally update the
Architecture Definition Document.
D.
You start with the Business Architecture and then address Data, Application and Technology domains. For
every domain you develop a Baseline and Target Architecture. Then perform Gap Analysis and update the
Architecture Definition Document.
