Exam OG0-092 topic 1 question 15 discussion

Actual exam question from The Open Group's OG0-092
Question #: 15
Topic #: 1
[All OG0-092 Questions]

Scenario:
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?
[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.

C is correct for me, as the User/Application Location diagram does not make sense in the scenario

So the approach should be to develop Target Architecture first.. so B & C. But B has given System/Data matrix which doesn't exist thus C is the Best Answer.

no particularly useful architectual assets, so shall be baseline first. stakeholder's concern 2 need application communication diagram, which doesn't in answer D. So, A

"The CIO, who is the project sponsor, has stated that she is not concerned about preserving existing processes or systems." Meaning TARGET first "Data Entity/Business Function matrix" makes C the correct answer

my approach. Firstly the decision based on - develop from the scratch - Target Architecture first. So you have eliminated A and D. Then you need to compare B and C. All diagram names are OK, but in B there is User/Application Location diagram. There was no question (who?) because of that Location and User are irrelevant. Also: C ist the right answer.

I agree with the target first approach given the statement "The CIO, who is the project sponsor, has stated that she is not concerned about preserving existing processes or systems". I have a question though, why would you then go and create a baseline architecture? Does the new target architecture become the baseline?

Never mind my question, I got my answer: Target First: in this style, the target solution is elaborated in detail and then mapped back to the baseline, in order to identify change activity This process is suitable when a target state is agreed at a high level and where the enterprise wishes to effectively transition to the target model

Its going to be B or C. Target first which means one of them 2. I rule B out because it has user location diagram which is useless as per requirements. C is correct.

A is the answer for me. Point 1 and 2 require a system function matrix, and Point 3 would be completed in the data matrix. Also, baseline before target in most scenarios.

Answer B. I change my mind today. Point 1 and 2 require a system function matrix, and Point 3 would be completed in the data matrix. These points are still satisfied. As we are using COTS, I would go Target before Baseline as we have a high level overview of the target infrastructure. Target First: in this style, the target solution is elaborated in detail and then mapped back to the baseline, in order to identify change activity This process is suitable when a target state is agreed at a high level and where the enterprise wishes to effectively transition to the target model
