Why each option

The primary roles of a business architect involve strategic alignment between technology and business objectives, which includes direct engagement with business leaders and the development of comprehensive customer business roadmaps.

ARespond to RFPs

Responding to RFPs (Requests for Proposal) is typically a function of sales, pre-sales engineering, or proposals teams, which is distinct from the strategic role of a business architect.

BCoordinate customer technical proof of concepts.

Coordinating customer technical proof of concepts is usually a role for solution architects, technical specialists, or project managers, focusing on validating technical viability rather than high-level business strategy.

CEngage with business leaders.Correct

Engaging with business leaders is a core role of a business architect to understand their strategic objectives, challenges, and overall vision, ensuring technology initiatives are aligned with top-level business goals.

DDevelop a customer business roadmap.Correct

Developing a customer business roadmap is a key responsibility, as it articulates the strategic path for technology adoption and transformation over time, detailing how these changes will achieve defined business outcomes.

EDevelop bill of materials.

Developing a bill of materials (BOM) is a detailed operational or sales support task typically performed by sales operations, solution architects, or technical pre-sales, not a strategic role of a business architect.
