Enterprise Architecture

( Duration: 4 Days )

Using technology to solve an immediate, pressing problem is relatively easy. Designing and implementing a robust architecture that serves the immediate needs to the enterprise and in consistent with the long-term strategic vision of the organization is a bit more difficult. Enterprise Architecture is the practice of applying a comprehensive and rigorous method for describing, defining, designing, and ultimately deploying a framework that addresses business architecture, performance management, organizational structure, and process architecture.

The Enterprise Architecture training course explores EA and the move within organizations to adopt a rigorous process for describing the current and future states of an enterprise’s maturity as well as mapping out the steps necessary to move the organization forward. This course will equip architects and team leads with a working knowledge of EA, hands-on experience applying some of the most popular frameworks such as Zachman, TOGAF, DoDAF, and EABOK, and a broad awareness for the implications of EA and how to best support the adoption of EA through changes to people, processes, and technology.

By attending this Enterprise Architecture workshop, delegates will learn to:

  • Gain an understanding of Enterprise Architecture
  • Put the role of the Architect into a business context
  • Understand the importance of identifying, engaging, and leveraging stakeholders
  • Explore AD and understand the purpose of different architectural viewpoints
  • Discuss and explore ADP and the various associated phases
  • Gain hands-on experience working with leading EA frameworks and methodologies

  • General understanding of Software development principles.

The Enterprise Architecture class is designed for architects who are responsible for system and enterprise architecture of their organization. System Designers and Development Managers can also benefit from this workshop.
