Explanation

Once business solutions and business capabilities are aligned, you have the clarity needed to define target state architecture - the future-state blueprint showing how the organization's technology and processes should look to deliver on those capabilities. Alignment between what the business does (capabilities) and how it does it (solutions) is the prerequisite for painting that "north star" picture.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• B (Business roadmaps): Roadmaps are planning timelines derived from the target state architecture, not what you map at this stage.
• C (Business outcomes): Outcomes are defined before capabilities - they drive what capabilities are needed, not the result of aligning them.
• D (Current state architecture): The current state ("as-is") is documented before alignment work begins, serving as the baseline, not the output.

Memory tip: Think of the sequence as a funnel - Outcomes → Capabilities → Solutions aligned → Target State. You can only paint the destination (target) once you know what tools (solutions) match what the business must do (capabilities).
