Q: 14
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 so as to keep inventory costs
low.
The TOGAF standard is followed for internal Enterprise Architecture activities. This project is using an
iterative approach for executing the Architecture Development Method (ADM).
At present, there are no 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 and Application Architectures. Key stakeholder concerns that should
be addressed by these architectures include:
1. What groups of people should be involved in the supply chain management-related business
processes?
2. What non-supply chain management applications will need to be integrated with any new supply
chain management applications?
3. What data will need to be shared?
Refer to the Scenario
[Note: You may need to refer to the Architectural Artifacts chapter, section 31.6 (located in Part IV) 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 the TOGAF standard, which of the following is the best answer?
