QuestionQ49

The TOGAF Standard, Version 9.2

Based on TOGAF 9, which of the following is the most appropriate answer?

  • A The team should hold a series of interviews at each of the manufacturing plants using the business scenario technique. This will then enable them to identify and document the characteristics of the architecture from the business requirements.
  • B The team should exercise due diligence and carefully research vendor literature and conduct a series of briefings with vendors that are on the current approved supplier list. Based on the findings from the research, the team should define a preliminary target Architecture Vision. The team should then use that model to build consensus among the key stakeholders.
  • C The team should create Baseline and Target Architectures for each of the manufacturing plants. A gap analysis between the architectures will then validate the approach, and determine the Transition Architecture needed to achieve the target state.
  • D The team should conduct a pilot project that will enable vendors on the short list to demonstrate potential solutions that will access the concerns of the stakeholders. Based on the findings of that pilot project, a complete set of requirements can be developed that will arrive the evolution of the architecture.
Explanation

The Business Scenarios technique elicits and documents business needs, concerns, objectives, and constraints from relevant stakeholders. Conducting interviews across the manufacturing plants enables the team to clarify requirements—including central-system security and reliability concerns—and evaluate alternative architectural approaches before selecting a solution.
