Domain The Architecture Development Method (ADM)

Carter Woods, a global furniture firm, wants to improve the efficiency of its sales force by replacing their legacy configuration and ordering systems based on manual and paper based processes with an online ordering platform. Carter Woods uses the Architecture Delivery Method from TOGAF 9. The CIO sponsored this activity and the Baseline Architecture was defined on the initial iteration defining: approach, scope and architectural vision including a set of architecture principles related to the Data domain: Data is an asset. Data is shared. Data is accessible. A set of aspects to clarify arose from the business analysis from the assumption to replace the legacy systems with an online centralized one. These main concerns are: · To identify the changes to existing business processes. · To identify the data entities that can be shared among the sales agents. · To clarify how to keep the data secured. · To identify the list of non-sales application to be integrated with the sales applications Refer to the scenario above You, as Lead Enterprise Architect, need to identify the most appropriate architecture viewpoints to address the concerns above mentioned. Choose one of the following answers
Answer options
A: Depict the Business Architecture using a Role catalog and a Process/Event/Control/Product catalog. Depict the Data Architecture using a System/Data matrix, a Data Entity/Data Component catalog and Data Security diagram. Depict the Application Architecture using an Interface catalog. Define the Technology Architecture via a Network Computing/Hardware diagram. Correct answer
B: Depict the Business Architecture using a Business Interaction matrix and a Location catalog. Depict the Data Architecture using a Data Lifecycle diagram and a Data Migration diagram. Depict the Application Architecture using a Software Engineering diagram. Depict the Technology Architecture using a Communications Engineering diagram.
C: Depict the Business Architecture using a Business Footprint diagram and a Location catalog. Depict the Data Architecture using a Data Migration diagram, System/Data matrix and Data Lifecycle diagram. Depict the Application Architecture using an Application Communication diagram. Depict the Technology Architecture using a Network Computing/Hardware diagram.
D: Depict the Business Architecture using a Role catalog and Location catalog. Depict the Data Architecture using a System/Data matrix, Data Entity/Business Function matrix and Data Security diagram. Depict the Application Architecture using an Application Interaction matrix. Define the Technology Architecture via a Network Computing/Hardware diagram.
Correct Answer:
A. Depict the Business Architecture using a Role catalog and a Process/Event/Control/Product catalog. Depict the Data Architecture using a System/Data matrix, a Data Entity/Data Component catalog and Data Security diagram. Depict the Application Architecture using an Interface catalog. Define the Technology Architecture via a Network Computing/Hardware diagram.
Explanation

This option provides the most comprehensive and direct set of architectural artifacts to address all four stakeholder concerns.
1. Business Process Changes: The Process/Event/Control/Product catalog is the specific TOGAF artifact designed to list and describe business processes, making it ideal for identifying changes.
2. Shared Data Entities: The Data Entity/Data Component catalog lists the data entities, while the System/Data matrix shows the relationship between data and systems, effectively identifying what can be shared.
3. Data Security: The Data Security diagram is the designated artifact for modeling security controls and access permissions on data.
4. Application Integration: The Interface catalog is used to list the interfaces between applications, directly addressing the need to identify integrations.

Why Incorrect

B: This option includes several irrelevant artifacts for the stated concerns, such as the Location catalog, Data Migration diagram, and Software Engineering diagram, which do not address process changes, data sharing, or application integration. C: This option incorrectly proposes using a Data Migration diagram and Business Footprint diagram, which are not the primary tools for analyzing data sharing/security or business process changes in this context. D: While strong in the Data and Application domains, this option lacks a specific artifact for analyzing business process changes. A Role catalog alone is insufficient to detail process modifications, making it less complete than option A.

Architecture Artifacts.

Process/Event/Control/Product Catalog (Section 35.2.19): "A list of the processes

events

controls

and products of the business. A process is a flow of interactions between roles and functions that achieves a business objective." This directly addresses the concern about identifying changes to business processes.

Data Entity/Data Component Catalog (Section 35.2.10): "A catalog of the data entities and/or data components that are relevant to the architecture." This directly addresses the need to identify data entities.

System/Data Matrix (Section 35.2.25): "A matrix that shows the relationship between systems and data entities in the enterprise." This helps identify where data is stored and how it can be shared.

Data Security Diagram (Section 35.2.11): "A view of the data entities and/or data components that are relevant to the architecture

annotated with the security and access controls that are to be applied to the data." This directly addresses the data security concern.

Interface Catalog (Section 35.2.16): "A list of the interfaces in the enterprise. An interface is a boundary across which two or more systems

subsystems

or other components exchange information." This directly addresses the application integration concern.
