Domain The Architecture Development Method (ADM)

McKinley Rockets is an enterprise that employs 20,000 men and women in five countries: UK, Italy, France, Spain and the Netherlands and its mission is to guarantee access to space offering space transportation, launch and management of satellite systems at low cost. A TOGAF 9 mature Enterprise Architecture program is already established within the enterprise. McKinley Rockets strategy is to leverage in the USA shortage of satellite launches availability - that NASA created because of the Shuttle program shutdown - by acquiring an important merican space agency. This will ultimately allow McKinley Rockets to offer its services to the US market. The new acquired company NovaSpace is very successful but with outdated satellite monitoring systems. The CIO is sponsoring an activity to extend the McKinley Rockets' satellite monitoring applications to include the NovaSpace's satellites flock. A task force of enterprise architects prepared an Architecture Vision and secured the approval. The Architecture Board decided to approve the vision, provided that the Design Definition Document is presented for review at phase D conclusion. Refer to the scenario above The Chief Architect asked you as Lead Integration Architect to use TOGAF 9 to recommend the best approach to design the Full Architecture and present it to the Architecture Board. Identify the best answer accordingly to the TOGAF 9 guidelines. Choose one of the following answers
Answer options
A: You start with the Business Architecture and then address Technology, Application and Data domains. For every domain you select the relevant reference models, viewpoints, and tools. You develop a Target and Baseline Architecture Descriptions. Then perform Gap Analysis, resolve impacts across the Architecture Landscape and update the roadmap. Finally update the Architecture Definition Document.
B: You start with the Business Architecture and then address Data, Application and Technology domains. You then Confirm management framework interactions for the Implementation and Migration Plan, Prioritize the migration projects through the conduct of a cost/benefit assessment and risk validation. Then perform GapAnalysis and update the Architecture Definition Document.
C: You start with the Business Architecture and then address Data, Application and Technology domains. For every domain you select the relevant reference models, viewpoints, and tools. You develop a Baseline and Target Architecture. Then perform Gap Analysis, assess the roadmap impacts and finally update the Architecture Definition Document. Correct answer
D: You start with the Business Architecture and then address Data, Application and Technology domains. For every domain you develop a Baseline and Target Architecture. Then perform Gap Analysis and update the Architecture Definition Document.
Correct Answer:
C. You start with the Business Architecture and then address Data, Application and Technology domains. For every domain you select the relevant reference models, viewpoints, and tools. You develop a Baseline and Target Architecture. Then perform Gap Analysis, assess the roadmap impacts and finally update the Architecture Definition Document.
Explanation

This option provides the most accurate and complete description of the activities required to design the architecture across TOGAF ADM Phases B, C, and D. It correctly sequences the domains: Business, followed by Data and Application, and then Technology. It correctly identifies the key iterative steps within each of these phases: selecting reference models/viewpoints, developing Baseline and Target Architectures, and performing Gap Analysis. Crucially, it includes the consolidation step of assessing roadmap impacts, which synthesizes the findings from all domains before finalizing the Architecture Definition Document for the board review at the end of Phase D.

Why Incorrect

A. The order of the architecture domains is incorrect. Technology Architecture (Phase D) should not be addressed before Data and Application Architectures (Phase C).
B. This option incorrectly includes activities from Phase E (Implementation and Migration Planning), which occurs after the design phases (B, C, and D) are complete.
D. This option is less complete than the correct answer. It omits the important initial step of selecting reference models and viewpoints and the final consolidation of roadmap impacts.

"Phase D: Technology Architecture - Step 5: Resolve impacts across the Architecture Landscape". This step involves validating that the business

and technology architectures are consistent and that their combined roadmap components are understood. This aligns with "assess the roadmap impacts".

"Phase D: Technology Architecture - Step 8: Create Architecture Definition Document". This step describes the finalization and consolidation of all architecture artifacts into the Architecture Definition Document

which is the primary output requested by the board.
