Scenario
Please read this scenario prior to answering the Question You are serving as the Lead Architect for
the enterprise architecture team at the prime contractor for the Dreadnought Unmanned Aircraft
System 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. The decision has
been made 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. TOGAF 9 Is used for internal Enterprise
Architecture activities, with an iterative approach for executing Architecture Development Method
(ADM) projects. 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 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 existing
processes or systems. The architect-re development project has put in place Its Architecture
Capability for this project and has started a number of iteration cycles to develop the Architecture.
Some tasks to address concerns related to the Business Architecture have been completed. The next
immediate task is to address the Information Systems Architectures. The Information Systems
Architectures must address stakeholder concerns such as: 1. Which procurement-related business

processes are supported by zero, one, or many existing applications? 2. What non-procurement
applications will need to be integrated with any new procurement applications? 3. What data will
need to be shared? Refer to the Scenario [Note: You may need to refer to TOGAF 9 Chapter 35 in
order to answer this question.] You have been asked to identify the most appropriate catalogs,
matrices, and diagrams for this situation. Based on TOGAF 9, which of the following is the best
answer?

A.
in the early iterations of Architecture development, you would describe the Baseline Application
Architecture with a System/Function matrix, and describe the Baseline Data Architecture using a
Data Entity/Data Component catalog. In the later Iterations of the Architecture Definition, you would
describe the Target Application Architecture using Application Communication diagrams and an
Application Interaction matrix, and describe the Target Data Architecture with a System/Data matrix.

B.
In the early iterations of Architecture development, you would describe the Target Application
Architecture with Application Communication diagrams and an Application Interaction matrix, and
describe the Target Data Architecture with a System/Data matrix. In the later iterations of
Architecture development, you would describe the Baseline Application Architecture with an
Application and User Location diagram and a System/Function matrix, and describe the Baseline
Data Architecture with a Data Entity/Data Component catalog.

C.
In the early iterations of Architecture development, you would describe the Target Application
Architecture with Application Communication diagrams and an Application Interaction matrix, and
describe the Target Data Architecture with a Data Entity/Business Function matrix and a
System/Data matrix. In the later iterations of Architecture development, you would describe the
Baseline Application Architecture with a System/Function matrix, and describe the Baseline Data
Architecture with a Data Entity/Data Component catalog.

D.
In the early iterations of Architecture development, you would describe the Baseline Application
Architecture with a Technology Portfolio catalog, and describe the Baseline Data Architecture with a
Data diagram. In the later iterations of Architecture development, you would describe the Target
Application Architecture with a System/Technology matrix, and describe the Target Data
Architecture with a Data Dissemination diagram.
