Enterprise Architecture Training

Enterprise Architecture Professional Development Courses

Introduction to Enterprise Architecture

If you are interested in gaining a high-level overview of the principles and practices behind Enterprise Architecture and related frameworks, this introductory session will be useful in creating a firm foundation. Often the critical "missing piece" in architecture projects – EA includes the use of robust frameworks of tools, processes, and methods to drive the linkage to business strategy and guide the needed analysis, planning, and implementation. Well-defined, iterative approaches for developing EA reduce risk, provide predictable results, and adapt to change. Most importantly, they ensure that key business objectives and processes are properly linked to, and supported by, an accountable and well-aligned IT capability. This session will describe the role EA plays in an organization, as well as why and how you should get started! Click here to download an outline of the topics to be discussed.

TOGAF 9 Certification Training

The DoD gave The Open Group explicit permission and encouragement to create a universal framework by building on the TAFIM. This course will cover assessment and definition of EA goals and objectives, identification of EA principles to guide strategy and architecture decisions, key stakeholder analysis, and how to apply models and modeling symbols, modeling standards, and supporting tools. The course is aimed at preparing the learner for TOGAF 9 "Foundation" (Level 1) and "Certified" (Level 2) certification or TOGAF 8 to TOGAF 9 Certified (Bridge). Click here for a course syllabus.
