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 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.

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 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.

C.
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.

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.
