Scenario:
Please read this scenario prior to answering the question
The ABC company is the prime contractor for the Telesto Unmanned Spacecraft 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 company is moving aggressively 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.
To achieve this goal, the company needs to define Baseline and Target Architectures. These architectures must address key stakeholders' concerns such as:
1. What groups of people should be involved in procurement-related business processes?
2. What current applications do those groups use?
3. Which procurement-related business processes are supported by zero, one, or many existing applications?
4. What are the overall lifetimes of the Request for Proposal and Purchase Order business objects? What non- procurement applications will need to be integrated with any new procurement applications?
5. What data will need to be shared?
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 existing package applications from systems vendors with little customization.
The architecture development project has just completed its Architecture Context iteration cycle and is about to begin the Architecture Definition iteration cycle. The company is using TOGAF for its internal Enterprise Architecture activities. It uses an iterative approach for executing Architecture Development Method (ADM) projects.
The architecture development project has just completed its Architecture Context iteration cycle and is about to begin the Architecture Definition iteration cycle.

  * Describe the Target Application Architecture with Application Communication diagrams and an Application Interaction matrix
  * Describe the Target Data Architecture with a System/Data matrix
  In the later iterations of the Architecture Definition:
  * Describe the Baseline Business Architecture with a Business Service/Function catalog and a Business Interaction matrix
  * Describe the Baseline Application Architecture with an Application and User Location diagram and a System/Function matrix

Scenario
Please read this scenario prior to answering the Question
You have been appointed as a consultant to the Chief Enterprise Architect of a multinational corporation.
The corporation has over 100,000 employees and is organized into 10 divisions with operation in over 60 countries and products sold in over 125 countries. It has major research sites at 8 locations worldwide.
The operations of the corporation are subject to legal and regulatory requirements for each country where they operate. The production of its products has governmental controls that are strictly enforced and compliance is critical. Recently a competitor was heavily fined for violating the regulations in a country where it was conducting a trial for a new product.
The Enterprise Architecture group within the company has been engaged in an architecture development system that will allow researchers at its product development laboratories worldwide to share information about their clinical trials. This system will also connect with external partners.
The Enterprise Architecture group is a mature organization. They use the TOGAF ADM with extensions required to support the manufacturing practices and laboratory practices of their target markets. Due to the highly sensitive nature of the information that is managed, special care was taken to ensure that each architecture domain included an examination of the security, regulatory and privacy issues that are relevant.
The Executive Vice President for Clinical Research is the sponsor of the Enterprise Architecture activity.
She has stated that the changes to the Enterprise Architecture for the new system will need to be rolled out on a geographic basis that will minimize disruptions to ongoing clinical trials. The work will need to be done in stages and rolled out in geographical regions.
Refer to the Scenario
You have been asked to recommend the approach to identify the work packages that will be included in the Transition Architecture (s) Based on the TOGAF standard, which of the following is the best answer?

• A.You would document the factors impacting the implementation and Migration Plan and group the gaps identified in the domain architecture gap analysis results. For each gap, you would identify a proposed solution and classify it as new development, purchased solution, or based on an existing product. You would group similar solutions together to form work packages, and identify dependencies between the work packages and identify dependencies between the work packages factoring in the clinical trial schedules. Finally, you would regroup the packages into a set of Capability Increments scheduled into a series of Transition Architectures.
• B.You would use a Consolidated Gaps, Solutions and Dependencies Matrix as a planning tool. For each gap, you would classify whether the solution is either a new development, purchased solution, or based on an existing product. You would group the similar solutions together to define the work packages.
  You would then regroup the work packages into a set of Capability Increments to transition to the Target Architecture taking into account the schedule for clinical trials.
• C.You would determine the set of Solution Building Blocks required by identifying which need to be developed and which need to be procured. You would eliminate any duplicate building blocks, and then group the remaining Solution Building Blocks together to create the work packages using a CRUD matrix. You would then rank the work packages in terms of cost, and select the most cost-effective options for inclusion in a series of Transition Architectures. Finally, you would schedule a sequential roll out of the work packages across the geographic regions.
• D.You would group the Solution Building Blocks from a Consolidated Gaps, Solutions and Dependencies Matrix into a set of work packages. Using the matrix as a planning tool you would then regroup the work packages to account for dependencies. You would sequence the work packages to account for dependencies. You would sequence the work packages into the Capability Increments needed to achieve the Target Architecture. You would schedule the rollout one region at a time. Finally, you would document the progression of the Enterprise Architecture using a state evolution table.
