[All OG0-092 Questions]

Scenario -
You are serving as the Lead Architect for the enterprise architecture team at a large multinational aerospace and defense company. The company has grown rapidly by acquisition and has inherited numerous different procurement processes and related IT systems. Several procurement 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 procurement processes and systems. The company will move to a "Just-in-time" procurement system so as to keep inventory costs low.
TOGAF 9 is used for internal Enterprise Architecture activities. This project is using an iterative approach for executing the Architecture Development Method
(ADM).
At present, there are no particularly useful architectural assets in the Architecture Repository that are related to this initiative. All assets will need to be acquired, 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 the existing procurement processes or systems.
The architecture development project has completed the Preliminary Phase 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 procurement-related business processes?
2. What are the overall lifetimes of the Request for Proposal and Purchase Order business objects?
3. What non-procurement applications will need to be integrated with any new procurement applications?
[Note: You may need to refer to Chapter 35 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 TOGAF, which of the following is the best answer?

  • A. In the next iteration of Architecture development, 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 Application Architecture with an Application/Function matrix.
  • B. In the next iteration of Architecture development, you would describe the Target Business Architecture with a Business ServiceFunction catalog, an Organization/Actor catalog, and Data Lifecycle diagrams. You would describe the Target Application Architecture with Application Communication diagrams and an Application Interaction matrix.
  • C. In the next iteration of Architecture development, you would describe the Target Business Architecture with a Business ServiceFunction catalog, a Business Interaction matrix, and Product Lifecycle diagrams. 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 Baseline Business Process catalog, and an Object lifecycle catalog. You would describe the Baseline Application Architecture with a Technology Portfolio catalog.

A & D options are already omitted –> Because of Baseline first .. Now, need to choose between B & C Option C is more relevant because 1) Group of people under business process –> Business Interaction Matrix 2) It is talking about overall Product life cycle and not about any DATA life cycle.

Selected Answer: C
Definity C would be my preferred answer. Differences between B and C are listed below: - B: an Organization/Actor catalog and Data Lifecycle diagrams - C: a Business Interaction matrix, and Product Lifecycle diagrams Based on the proposed scenario, we should consider the Product Lifecycle rather than the Data Lifecycle, and the Business Interaction matrix is a necessary component for this answer.

Selected Answer: C
The possible choices are B and C because the correct approach is Target First (there are not enough architectural asset). Then B contains the data lifecycle artifact but it is produced with the data architecture. Instead the C contains the product lifecycle that is produced correctly during the business architecture.

Selected Answer: C
either C or B, I'd go with C since "data lifecycle diagram" is an artifact from Data Architecture not Business Architecture

Selected Answer: B
Business Interaction Matrix: The purpose of this matrix is to depict the relationship interactions between organizations and business functions across the enterprise. Understanding business interaction of an enterprise is important as it helps to highlight value chain and dependencies across organizations. The Business Interaction matrix shows the following metamodel entities and relationships: Organization Business Function Business Service Business Service communicates with Business Service relationships Business Service is dependent on Business Service relationships
