Scenario
Please read this scenario prior to answering the Question
You are serving as the Lead Architect for the enterprise architecture team at a large multinational aerospace
and defense company. The company has grown rapidly by acquisition and has inherited numerous different
procurement processes and related IT systems. Several procurement processes have had problems related to
the timing of purchases, which has led to excess inventory. The Vice President in charge of Supply Chain
Management has made the decision to consolidate and reduce redundant procurement processes and
systems. The company will move to a “Just-in-time” procurement system so as to keep inventory costs low.
TOGAF 9 is used for internal Enterprise Architecture activities. This project is using an iterative approach for
executing the Architecture Development Method (ADM).
At present, there are no particularly useful architectural assets in the Architecture Repository that are related to
this initiative. All assets will need to be acquired, customized, or created from scratch. The company prefers to
implement commercial off the shelf package applications with little customization. The CIO, who is the project
sponsor, has stated that she is not concerned about preserving the existing procurement processes or
systems.
The architecture development project has completed the Preliminary Phase and has started a number of
iteration cycles to develop the Architecture. As a packaged application is being considered, the next iteration
will include both the Business and Application Architectures. Key stakeholder concerns that should be
addressed by these architectures include:
1. What groups of people should be involved in procurement-related business processes?
2. What are the overall lifetimes of the Request for Proposal and Purchase Order business objects?
3. What non-procurement applications will need to be integrated with any new procurement applications?Refer to the Scenario
[Note: You may need to refer to Chapter 35 of the reference text in order to answer this question.] You have
been asked to identify the most appropriate catalogs, matrices, and diagrams to support the next iteration of
Architecture development.
Based on TOGAF, which of the following is the best answer?

A.
In the next iteration of Architecture development, you would describe the Baseline Business Architecture
with a Business Service/Function catalog, an Organization/Actor catalog, and a Data EntityyBusiness
Function matrix. You would describe the Baseline Application Architecture with an Application/Function
matrix.

B.
In the next iteration of Architecture development, you would describe the Target Business Architecture with
a Business ServiceyFunction catalog, an Organization/Actor catalog, and Data Lifecycle diagrams. You
would describe the Target Application Architecture with Application Communication diagrams and an
Application Interaction matrix.

C.
In the next iteration of Architecture development, you would describe the Target Business Architecture with
a Business Service/Function catalog, a Business Interaction matrix, and Product Lifecycle diagrams. You
would describe the Target Application Architecture with Application Communication diagrams and an
Application Interaction matrix.

D.
In the next iteration of Architecture development, you would describe the Baseline Business Architecture
with a Baseline Business Process catalog, and an Object lifecycle catalog. You would describe the Baseline
Application Architecture with a Technology Portfolio catalog.
