Archimate 3 Foundation

In the course ArchiMate 3 Foundation from SpiralTrain participants receive a strong foundation in architectural modeling using the ArchiMate language.

Intro Enterprise Architecture

The course Archimate 3 Foundation starts with an overview of the importance of Enterprise Architecture in organizations. Discussed are standards in the field of EA Architecture Modeling and the role of Archimate and tools therein.

Archimate Concepts

Attention is paid to the hierarchical structure of Archimate where a model is considered as a collection of elements and relationships. The distinction between behavior, structural, motivation and composite elements is covered as well.

Business Modeling

Subsequently Business Modeling in Archimate is treated, where the operational organization of a company is described in a technology-independent manner. This covers Business Functions, Processes, Services and Objects, as well as Interactions and Events.

Application Modeling

Application Architecture is also discussed, using a subset of the ArchiMate elements such as Application Component, Application Service and Application Interface. Also covered is how the Layered View makes the context of an application visible.

Technology Modeling

Modeling the Technology Architecture with Technology Layer elements such as Technology Services, Events and Interfaces is also treated. Both Active and Passive Structure elements play a role in this.

Strategy Modeling

Also part of the course Archimate 3 Foundation is Strategy Modeling in the Strategy Layer. The elements Resource, Capability and Course of Action serve herein to model the strategic goals of the company,

Implementation and Migration Planning

Then implementation migration planning is covered with the viewpoint of relating applications and projects to the parts of the architecture that they implement.

Archimate Certification

Finally the course discusses how you can certify for Archimate 3 and what the exam requirements are. Tips and tricks for passing the exam will also be treated.

Audience Course Archimate 3 Foundation

The course Archimate 3 Foundation is intended for enterprise architects who want to use the Archimate 3 language when designing an Enterprise Architecture.

Prerequisites Course Archimate 3 Foundation

General knowledge of Enterprise Architecture and modeling if EA is desirable to participate in this course.

Realization Training Archimate 3 Foundation

The Archimate 3 Foundation course has a hands-on character. Theory based on demos is interchanged with practical assignments for creating Enterprise Architecture models in Sparx Systems Enterprise Architect.
