Public Webinar
EA and ArchiMate Business
Course Description:
This course is aimed at business architects who wish to learn ArchiMate notation and how to model ArchiMate viewpoints in Enterprise Architect. It covers the ArchiMate business layer for modelling business organisation, processes and functions, the motivation extension for identifying stakeholders, drivers and goals as well as strategy elements that focus on business capabilities.
Prerequisites:
No prior knowledge of ArchiMate is required. Basic Enterprise Architect experience is expected. If new to Enterprise Architect consider attending our “EA Fundamentals” course first.
Equipment:
For webinar delivery delegates require a PC or laptop running Enterprise Architect with an Internet connection (a headset can be helpful). If you wish to test your environment join a test WebEx meeting: www.webex.com/test-meeting.html
A trial version of Enterprise Architect is fine for training and can be downloaded from Sparx Systems website: www.sparxsystems.com/products/ea/trial.html. It is also helpful to have a mouse as this makes creating diagrams much easier.
Course Style:
50% theory, 50% practical
Each module is accompanied by hands-on exercises to allow delegates to apply the theory and become confident using ArchiMate and Enterprise Architect.
Delegate Handouts:
Each delegate receives a booklet containing all the course slides and comprehensive theory notes which form excellent reference material. Booklets also contain exercises and suggested solutions. Following successful completion of the course each delegate receives a certificate.
