Scenario Intrepid Space Industries Please read this scenario prior to answering the question
Intrepid Space Industries is the prime contractor for the Telesto Unmanned Spacecraft
program. Over the course of this contract, the company has grown rapidly by acquisition

and has inherited numerous different procurement processes and related IT systems.
Intrepid is moving aggressively to consolidate and reduce redundant procurement
processes and systems. The CEO has announced that the company will seek to leverage
higher volume discounts and lower related IT support costs by instituting a preferred
supplier program. To achieve this goal, Intrepid needs to define Baseline and Target
Architectures. These architectures must address key stakeholders’ concerns such as: 1.
What groups of people should be involved in procurement-related business processes? 2.
What current applications do those groups use? 3. Which procurement-related business
processes are supported by zero, one, or many existing applications? 4. What are the
overall lifetimes of the Request for Proposal and Purchase Order business objects? What
non-procurement applications will need to be integrated with any new procurement
applications? 5. What data will need to be shared? At present, there are no particularly
useful architectural assets related to this initiative, so all assets need to be acquired and
customized or created from scratch. The company prefers to implement existing package
applications from systems vendors with little customization. The architecture development
project has just completed its Architecture Context iteration cycle and is about to begin the
Architecture Definition iteration cycle. Intrepid is using TOGAF for its internal Enterprise
Architecture activities. It uses an iterative approach for executing Architecture Development
Method (ADM) projects. The architecture development project has just completed its
Architecture Context iteration cycle and is about to begin the Architecture Definition iteration
cycle. Refer to the Intrepid Space Industries Scenario. You are serving as the Lead
Architect. You have been asked to identify the most appropriate architecture viewpoints for
this situation. Based on TOGAF 9, which of the following is the best answer?

A.

Architecture with a Business Service/Function catalog and a Business Interaction matrix
Describe the key business objects with Product Lifecycle diagrams Describe the Target
Application Architecture with Application Communication diagrams and an Application
Interaction matrix Describe the Target Data Architecture with a Data Entity/business
Function matrix and a System/Data matrix In the later iterations of the Architecture
Definition: Describe the Baseline Business Architecture with a Business Service/Function
catalog and a Business Interaction matrix Describe the Baseline Application Architecture
