Course Description
To enable students to become skilled in the practical application of enterprise architecture.
By exploring a case study, we will develop a solid target
architecture and roadmap that address strategic and tactical
requirements of a set of stakeholders. Conexiam’s Navigate is used to
provide a consistent, comprehensive toolkit. We use TOGAF 9.1 as a
framework. We energize our enterprise architecture activity by using
formal models and analytics to deeply understand the interactions
between the components of the enterprise.
In this course, we use TOGAF 9.1 as an enterprise architecture
framework, instead of as a topic. As a framework, it is there to serve
and support our activity. When it comes to producing detailed work
products, we use Conexiam’s Navigate toolkit. Navigate is a
straightforward customization of TOGAF. It provides a complete set of
tools that fleshes out the generic elements of TOGAF 9.1. With Navigate,
EA practitioners can perform three key functions:
Describe a target architecture that fulfills a strategy, and identify capability gaps.
Build a roadmap that delivers the changes necessary to achieve the strategy.
Establish the guidelines that will ensure projects realize the strategy.
In order to maximize the capability of an enterprise architecture
team, formal modeling and analysis of facts are required. In the case
study exercises, we will use ad hoc procedures to perform the modelling
and analysis.
Key Learning Objectives
- You will learn practical techniques and tools in Navigate.
Duration
This course makes extensive use of case study to create actual
enterprise architecture deliverables, culminating in a target
architecture and architecture roadmap. You will learn how these
deliverables are consumed as case progresses, and how to use Navigate to
build key capabilities and trace architecture decisions.
Conexiam will license the Navigate tools used in the course to those who take the EA with TOGAF & Navigate course.
Included in the Course
- 4 days of instruction, with emphasis on a case study
- Binder with all courseware and exercise materials
- Electronic copy of Open Group TOGAF Part 1 & Part 2 Study Guide
- Electronic copy of sample Open Group TOGAF certification exams
- Electronic copy of all Navigate templates and public architecture tools used in the course
Prerequisites
Some EA experience is required. Course is fast-paced and requires
that we move quickly through the concepts and activities. The case study
will be worked in groups.
Who Should Attend
- Enterprise Architects
- Business Leaders
- Business Architects
- Business Analysts
Alternative Courses
If you would like to learn how to use the world’s leading EA
framework with a consistent set of tools you may prefer EA with TOGAF
& Navigate using ABACUS. In this course, we use Avolution’s ABACUS®
to drive out linkages and inferences available with formal modelling. We
will use the formal models to analyze the case; we will not be creating
formal models.
