EA Bootcamp Training

INTRODUCTION

The EA Bootcamp course is designed to provide a comprehensive introduction to individuals entering an architecture-related role and/or needing a basic understanding of enterprise architecture (EA) concepts. The course is aimed at beginners and addresses a span of EA concepts and theories.

COURSE DESCRIPTION

This four-day course covers the EA fundamentals so as to equip delegates with the foundational knowledge needed to participate in EA initiatives. The course also serves as a basis for future training in the field.

The EA Bootcamp is divided into three parts...
Part 1 introduces and defines the concept of enterprise architecture and positions it within the organisational context. It examines the problems that we are trying to solve with EA and shows how EA provides business with an enhanced return on its IT investments.

Part 2 focuses on EA methodology. It covers the official TOGAF® 9 Foundation (level 1) training curriculum that includes an overview of the TOGAF® 9 framework and instruction on how to apply it in support of the design and implementation of EA. Delegates may register for The Open Group TOGAF® 9 Foundation exam after the course. When ready to further their studies, delegates are eligible to attend TOGAF® Certified (level 2) to study towards full TOGAF certification.

Part 3 allows delegates to practically apply their knowledge through the introduction of ArchiMate®, The Open Group's open and independent modelling language for EA. Delegates use a case study to build entry-level business, application and technology architectures using ArchiMate® so as to put into practice the concepts they learn in the first three days of the course.
