Scenario -
Please read this scenario prior to answering the Question
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 system so as to keep inventory costs low.
The TOGAF standard 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 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, Application and Data Architectures. Key stakeholder concerns that should be addressed by these architectures include:
1. What groups of people should be involved in supply chain management-related business processes?
2. What non-supply chain management applications will need to be integrated with the new supply chain management applications?
3. What data will need to be shared?
Refer to the Scenario -
[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 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 Environment and Location diagram.
  • 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 an Application Interaction matrix and Application Communications diagrams.
  • C. 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.
  • D. 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.

Selected Answer: D
the difference between the business/interaction matrix and the organisation/actor catalog: From the spec – Business interaction matrix: depicts the relationship between organizations and business functions. Organisation/Actor catalog: Capture a definitive listing of all the participants that interact with IT, including users and owners of IT systems. It seems that in this case because the goal is to figure out which groups of people should be involved in procurement-related business processes the business interaction matrix is the better option as it is more process (business function) driven whereas the organisation/actor catalog is more just a definitive list of who interacts with IT

What data will need to be shared? Data Lifecycle diagrams D is incorrect as Business Interaction matrix got does not list all people
