Scenario
Please read this scenario prior to answering the question
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?
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 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.
• B. 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.
• C. 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.
• D. 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.

RIG Networks, a global network supplier is implementing a massive replacement of its supply chain to reduce production cost of their new LTE (Long Term Evolution) gateways. As part of this renovation process the CIO decided to replace their ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) system using a greenfield approach (where the legacy ERP system will be decommissioned). The CIO engaged a team of TOGAF 9 certified consultants to design the solution, he then identified the suppliers and asked you as Chief Architect to supervise the definition of the Architecture Design and Development Contract.
Refer to the scenario above
You now need to write the Architecture Design and Development Contract, identify how you would o this following TOGAF 9.
Choose one of the following answers

• A. You would define the Architecture Design and Development Contract with : scope, goals, objectives and constraints, Architecture Principles, Baseline Architecture, Architecture Models, Gap Analysis, Impact Assessment.
• B. You would define the Architecture Design and Development Contract with : introduction and background, the nature of the agreement, scope of the architecture, architecture and strategic principles and requirements, conformance requirements, Baseline Architecture definition, Target Architecture Measures, Define phases of deliverables, Prioritized joint workplan, Time window, Architecture delivery and business metrics.
• C. You would define the Architecture Design and Development Contract with : Target Architecture Measures, Define phases of deliverables, Prioritized joint workplan, Time window, Architecture delivery and business metrics.
• D. You would define the Architecture Design and Development Contract with : introduction and background, the nature of the agreement, scope of the architecture, architecture and strategic principles and requirements, conformance requirements, Target Architecture Measures, Define phases of deliverables, Prioritized joint workplan, Time window, Architecture delivery and business metrics.

Carter Woods, a global furniture firm, wants to improve the efficiency of its sales force by replacing their legacy configuration and ordering systems based on manual and paper based processes with an online ordering platform.
Carter Woods uses the Architecture Delivery Method from TOGAF 9. The CIO sponsored this activity and the Baseline Architecture was defined on the initial iteration defining: approach, scope and architectural vision including a set of architecture principles related to the Data domain:
Data is an asset.
Data is shared.
Data is accessible.
A set of aspects to clarify arose from the business analysis from the assumption to replace the legacy systems with an online centralized one. These main concerns are:
* To identify the changes to existing business processes.
* To identify the data entities that can be shared among the sales agents.
* To clarify how to keep the data secured.
* To identify the list of non-sales application to be integrated with the sales applications Refer to the scenario above You, as Lead Enterprise Architect, need to identify the most appropriate architecture viewpoints to address the concerns above mentioned.
Choose one of the following answers

• A. Depict the Business Architecture using a Business Interaction matrix and a Location catalog. Depict the Data Architecture using a Data Lifecycle diagram and a Data Migration diagram. Depict the Application Architecture using a Software Engineering diagram. Depict the Technology Architecture using a Communications Engineering diagram.
• B. Depict the Business Architecture using a Role catalog and Location catalog. Depict the Data Architecture using a System/Data matrix, Data Entity/Business Function matrix and Data Security diagram. Depict the Application Architecture using an Application Interaction matrix.

Please read this scenario prior to answering the question
You are serving as the Lead Architect for a chain of convenience stores, which has over 2000 retail outlets throughout the Asia-Pacific region. The stores operate 24 hours a day and 7 days a week and use the latest cloud-based point-of-sale (POS) technology to manage their sales and inventory. Cloud-based POS systems store all user data, including sales and inventory in a remote server.
The cloud-based systems collect real-time data to support ordering and product selection decisions including the tailoring of product assortment based on sales history, customer demographics as well as the next day's weather forecast. In many cases, several stores are located in neighboring areas. This strategy makes distribution to each store cheaper, as well as making multiple deliveries per day possible. The stores also act as self-service delivery locations for a large online retailer which further increases the number of potential customers entering the stores.
An Enterprise Architecture practice exists within the company, with the CEO and CIO as joint sponsors. They have decided to adopt TOGAF 9 within the practice and the first project is to restructure the Enterprise Architecture so that it can better support the existing environment and accommodate future changes of strategy within the company.
The CIO has stated that the following issues also need to be addressed in the restructuring:
- They need to address problems with data quality and inconsistent data in order to support better decision making and analysis.
- The architecture should focus on the needs of the business, not technology.
- To remain competitive, new products and promotions must undergo market trials before deployment across the retail chain. Information systems must be able to manage changes and updates without undue delays.
