QuestionQ44

VerifiedThe TOGAF Standard, Version 9.2

McKinley Rockets is an enterprise that employs 20,000 men and women in five countries: UK, Italy, France, Spain, and the Netherlands. Its mission is to guarantee access to space by offering low-cost space transportation, launch, and satellite-system management.

A TOGAF 9 mature Enterprise Architecture program is already established within the enterprise. McKinley Rockets' strategy is to capitalize on the shortage of satellite-launch availability in the USA that NASA created through the Shuttle program shutdown, by acquiring an important American space agency. This will ultimately enable McKinley Rockets to offer its services to the US market. The newly acquired company, NovaSpace, is very successful but has outdated satellite-monitoring systems. The CIO is sponsoring an activity to extend McKinley Rockets' satellite-monitoring applications to include NovaSpace's satellite flock.

A task force of enterprise architects prepared an Architecture Vision and secured approval. The Architecture Board decided to approve the vision, provided that the Design Definition Document is presented for review at the conclusion of Phase D.

The Chief Architect asks you, as Lead Integration Architect, to use TOGAF 9 to recommend the best approach for designing the Full Architecture and presenting it to the Architecture Board.

Identify the best answer according to the TOGAF 9 guidelines.

Explanation

The TOGAF ADM develops the Full Architecture through Business Architecture followed by the Information Systems Architecture domains—Data Architecture and Application Architecture—and then Technology Architecture. In each domain, relevant reference models, viewpoints, and tools are selected, Baseline and Target Architectures are developed, gaps are analyzed, roadmap impacts are assessed, and the Architecture Definition Document is updated for governance review.
