Question 10: Responsible Persona for the DESIGN Domain
In the CSDM 5.0 DESIGN phase, which primary persona is responsible for defining the logical application structure based on Business Capabilities?
- A. App Service Owner
- B. Enterprise Architect
- C. Service Portfolio Manager
- D. End User
【Correct Answer】 B. Enterprise Architect (EA)
【Detailed Explanation】
Why B is the correct answer:
In the DESIGN phase of CSDM 5.0, the focus is on creating a logical blueprint to determine how business requirements will be realized through IT configuration.
- Activities: The Enterprise Architect maps Business Capabilities (what the business wants to achieve) to Business Applications (what software assets will be used) and Information Objects (what data will be handled).
- Persona: The key player in this phase is the Enterprise Architect, who is responsible for ensuring system-wide consistency and future scalability.
Why the other options are incorrect:
- A (App Service Owner): Primarily responsible for the BUILD & RUN phase. Their role is to manage the stable operation and maintenance of the “actual production environment” (Application Service) created based on the design blueprints.
- C (Service Portfolio Manager): Primarily involved in the upstream IDEATION & STRATEGY phase. Their role is to make strategic decisions regarding service investments and the value provided within the service portfolio.
- D (End User): Primarily located in the SERVICE CONSUMPTION phase on the right side of the CSDM model. They are the consumers of the provided services and are not responsible for architectural design or configuration definitions.
