What are the layers the displays to represent different aspects of the enterprise architecture?

Options

• AOKRs & KPIs | Business Architecture | Technical Architecture | Data Metrics

• CStrategy & Transformation | Business Architecture | Application & Data Architecture | Technical

Explanation

Option C correctly identifies the four standard layers used in enterprise architecture displays, progressing from high-level intent down to implementation: Strategy & Transformation sets the direction, Business Architecture defines how the organization operates, Application & Data Architecture covers the information systems and data flows, and Technical Architecture describes the underlying infrastructure.

Option A is wrong because OKRs & KPIs and Data Metrics are measurement tools, not architectural layers - they track performance rather than represent structural components of the enterprise.

Option B is wrong because "Business Analysis" is a discipline or role, not an architecture layer, and "Business Strategy" is too narrow and overlaps vaguely with "Strategy & Transformation" without capturing the full architectural stack.

Memory tip: Think of Option C as a top-down sandwich - Strategy sets the intent, Business defines the work, Application & Data carries the information, and Technical is the foundation. Use the acronym SBAT ("Start Big, Act Technical") to recall the order.
