[All OG0-092 Questions]

Scenario -
You are serving as the Lead Architect for the Enterprise Architecture team at a multinational company. The company has grown rapidly by acquisition and has inherited numerous supply chain processes and related IT systems. Several supply chain 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 processes and systems. The company will move to a "Just-in-time" supply chain management so as to keep inventory costs low.
The TOGAF standard is followed for internal Enterprise Architecture activities. This project is using an iterative approach for executing the Architecture
Development Method (ADM).
At present, there are no architectural assets in the Architecture Repository related to this initiative. All assets will need to be acquired, customized, or created. 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 supply chain management processes or systems.
The architecture development project has completed Phase A 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 the supply chain management-related business processes?
2. What non-supply chain management applications will need to be integrated with any new supply chain management applications?
3. What data will need to be shared?
[Note: You may need to refer to the Architectural Artifacts chapter, section 31.6 (located in Part IV) 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 the TOGAF standard, which of the following is the best answer?

  • A. You would describe the Baseline Business Architecture with a Business Service/function catalog, an Organization/Actor catalog, and a Data Entity/Business Function matrix. You would describe the Baseline Data Architecture using a Data Entity/Data Component catalog. 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 an Organization/Actor catalog, a Business Service/ Function catalog, and Data Lifecycle diagrams. You would describe the Target Application Architecture with a Data Entity/Data Component catalog. You would describe the Target Application Architecture with an Application Interaction matrix and Application Communication diagrams.
  • C. You would describe the Target Business Architecture with a Business Service/Function catalog, and a Business Interaction matrix. You would describe the Target Data Architecture with a Data Entity/Business Function matrix and an Application/Data matrix. 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 Value Chain diagram, and a Baseline Business Process catalog. You would describe the Baseline Data Architecture with a Data diagram. You would describe the Baseline Application Architecture with an Environments and Locations diagram.

Selected Answer: C
C is the answer. Let's park up the first section of options B and C. Option B's second section describes the Target Application Architecture based on the Data Entity/Data Component catalog, which needs to be revised. However, C describes the Target Data Architecture based on the Data Entity/Business Function matrix and an Application/Data matrix, which makes more sense.

A. and D. are wrong because we need target first. B. is wrong because Data artifacts are from Data Architecture, not Application. But I don't understand where this concern "1. What groups of people should be involved in the supply chain management-related business processes?" is addressed in C.

confused question, but i think go with target architecture first because the baseline architecture will be replaced no need to develop . read standard 9.2 (18.5.2 Iteration within an ADM Cycle), so its C.

Answer is A, Baseline before Target. Here is from the Standard document: Develop a Baseline Description of the existing Business Architecture, to the extent necessary to support the Target Business Architecture. The scope and level of detail to be defined will depend on the extent to which existing business elements are likely to be CARRIED OVER into the Target Business Architecture
