Modifying the tool seems unnecessary if we don't know the gaps.

Creating a change strategy sounds important too, but I wonder if we should first analyze what we have versus what we need. Is that what gap analysis does?

I feel like I've seen a similar question before, and it was about identifying the needs first. So, I think gap analysis is the right approach here.

I'm not entirely sure, but I remember something about needing to assess the requirements before jumping into implementation. Maybe that's related to option A?

I think the first step should be to perform a gap analysis. It makes sense to understand what the COTS tool can do compared to our current processes.

Okay, I think I've got a handle on this. The scenario mentions we're using an iterative approach, so for this next iteration we'll want to focus on the Business and Application Architectures. The catalogs, matrices, and diagrams we choose should align with the stakeholder concerns.
