TOGAF Architecture Development for Teams using Archimate

Delivered by TOGAF©, ArchiMate©, Sparx Systems Certified Consultants
Duration: 3 days – Virtual Learning and mentorship led by Practice Leader and Sparx SME

The purpose of an Enterprise Architecture capability is to perform architecture planning and deliver outcomes to enable value and reduce risk my managing stakeholders, capabilities, processes, and technology artifacts across an enterprise. Key artifacts need to be stored in an architecture repository to simplify and enable effective reporting. Architecture models are used to evaluate and plan target architectures compared to a baseline model to determine impacts over time.

This focused hands-on course reveals the importance of reusing TOGAF©, ArchiMate, knowledge domain methods and techniques. Work directly with an experienced practice leader and improve your skills using Sparx Enterprise Architect using the proven FEAF & TOGAF© Architecture Development Method. This course contains 80% hands-on and 20% lecture.

Upon course completion you will be able to apply your skills using your next project and become confident using Sparx Enterprise Architect, an industry leading tool for over 20 years now with a user community of one million.
