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.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.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.
• C.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.
• 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 Environment and Location diagram.

Please read this scenario prior to answering the question
Your role is consultant to the Lead Architect within a multinational company. The company is organized into independent operational divisions on a national basis. The company adapts its marketing messaging to fit each culture group, with the adaptation of product offerings and manufacturing processes in each market.
The company has a mature Enterprise Architecture (EA) practice and uses the TOGAF standard as the basis of its architecture framework. In addition to the EA program, the company has several management frameworks in use, including business planning, portfolio/project management, and operations management. The EA program is sponsored by the CIO.
A strategic architecture has been approved that includes consolidation of multiple applications that have been operating in the production facilities across the divisions.
The goal is to replace the functionality of the existing applications with a new application running as a single instance in the company's primary data center.
Each division has completed the Architecture Definition documentation required to integrate the new application to meet its own specific manufacturing requirements.
The key corporate change attributes and implementation constraints have been confirmed. A consolidated gap analysis has been completed which has identified the gaps across the Business, Data, Application, and Technology domains. Using the gap analysis results, a review of the consolidated requirements, dependencies, and interoperability requirements needed to integrate the new application has been completed. The Business Transformation Readiness Assessment started in Phase A has been completed. A risk assessment has been completed.
The implementation process is estimated to take four years. Because of the risks posed by the complexity of the current environment, a phased approach is needed to implement the target architectures. The Implementation and Migration Plan v0.1, the draft Architecture Roadmap, and the Capability Assessment deliverables are now complete.
Refer to the Scenario
You have been asked to recommend the next steps to prepare the final
Implementation and Migration Plan.
Based on the TOGAF Standard, Version 9.2, which of the following is the best answer?

• A.You would assess how the plan impacts the other frameworks in use in the organization. If the plan impacts them, then coordination will be required. You would then assign a business value to each work package, and identify projects for the plan, considering available resources and priorities for the projects. You would then gather the details for the plan, and generate the final Implementation and Migration Plan.
• B.You would review the migration planning outputs, and produce
  recommendations for the solution development. You would identify the
  priorities, high-level migration strategy, and resources needed for the development team. You would document the requirements for monitoring tools, and the performance targets for the implementation. All this information should be gathered, and the final Implementation and Migration Plan generated.
• C.You would use business value to prioritize the implementation projects and project increments. This should focus on the return-on-investment criteria set by the stakeholders, and the performance evaluation criteria used to monitor the progress of the architecture transformation. You would confirm the Transition Architecture phases using an Architecture Definition Increments Table to list the projects. You would then document the lessons learned and generate the final Implementation and Migration plan.
• D.You would place the finalized strategic Architecture Definition Documents and Transition Architectures under configuration control as part of the ongoing architecture development cycle. This will ensure that the architecture remains relevant and responsive to the needs of the enterprise. You would then produce an Implementation Governance Model to manage the lessons learned prior to finalizing the plan. You recommend that lessons learned be accepted by the Architecture Board as changes to the architecture. The final Implementation and Migration Plan should then be generated.
