Use the principles as guardrails for your subsequent activities.

Answer: C

Explanation:

According to the SAP Enterprise Architecture Framework, which is based on the TOGAF® ADM, the architecture vision is the first phase of the architecture development cycle. The purpose of this phase is to define the scope, objectives, and stakeholders of the architecture project, and to create a high-level vision of the desired outcome.

The steps involved in this phase are:

Identify the stakeholders, their concerns, and business requirements and create a stakeholder map. This step involves identifying and analyzing the key stakeholders of the architecture project, such as business owners, users, customers, partners, vendors, regulators, etc. The stakeholder map is a document that shows the relationships and interests of the stakeholders, as well as their expectations and concerns regarding the architecture project.

Confirm and elaborate the new business model in support of the Business Model Canvas. This step involves confirming and refining the business goals, drivers, and constraints that motivate the architecture project, and defining the new business model that will enable the achievement of those goals. The Business Model Canvas is a tool that helps to describe, design, and analyze the new business model in a structured and visual way. It consists of nine building blocks that cover the key aspects of the business model, such as value proposition, customer segments, revenue streams, cost structure, etc.

Evaluate the enterprise capabilities and assess the readiness for business transformation. This step involves evaluating the current state of the enterprise in terms of its capabilities, resources, processes, systems, and culture, and assessing how ready it is for undergoing a business transformation. This step also involves identifying the gaps and risks that need to be addressed or mitigated in order to achieve the desired future state.

The other options (A, B, D) are not correct for the architecture vision according to the SAP Enterprise Architecture Framework, because they either skip or misrepresent some of the steps in this phase.

For example:

Option A is not correct because it does not include creating a stakeholder map or confirming and elaborating the new business model in support of the Business Model Canvas, which are essential steps to define and communicate the scope and objectives of the architecture project.

Option B is not correct because it does not include creating a stakeholder map or defining a new business model in support of the Business Model Canvas, which are essential steps to understand and align with the needs and expectations of the stakeholders.

Option D is not correct because it does not include confirming and elaborating the new business model in support of the Business Model Canvas or evaluating the enterprise capabilities and assessing the readiness for business transformation, which are essential steps to define and validate the desired outcome and identify the gaps and risks.
