Enterprise Architecture Overview Training Course

This course will explain how to use SysML, the modelling language for systems engineering. You will specifically explore block diagrams for modelling the structure of complex systems. You will deepen your understanding of the sequence diagram, state diagram, and activity diagram for dynamic modelling. You will also learn to use specific SysML diagrams such as the requirements diagram and the parametric diagram, as well as the concept of allocation. We will also emphasise the need to define a modelling approach that is suitable for the organisational context and the type of system being studied. Practical exercises will be conducted using NoMagic's Cameo Systems Modeler (MagicDraw) modelling tool.

Audience:

Systems engineers, business analysts, and architects who need to model complex systems that include both hardware and software.

Teaching Method:

Theoretical presentation illustrated with examples
50% practical work with Cameo Systems Modeler through a case study spanning the entire course

Domain-Driven Design (DDD) is a software development approach aimed at managing complex behaviors.

The Department of Defense Architecture Framework (DoDAF) serves as the architecture framework for the United States Department of Defense, providing a structured approach to address specific stakeholder concerns through viewpoints organized by various views.

DoDAF establishes a set of views that function as tools for visualizing, comprehending, and integrating the extensive scope and complexity of an architecture description using tabular, structural, behavioral, ontological, pictorial, temporal, or graphical methods.

It is particularly well-suited for large systems facing complex integration and interoperability challenges. Notably, it stands out for its use of operational views, which detail the external customer's operational domain in which the system under development will function.

This Introduction to Enterprise Architect training course is designed for all persons who wish to use Sparx Systems’ UML modelling tool, Enterprise Architect, for their modelling activities yet are unfamiliar with the features, functions and use of Enterprise Architect.

Through a blend of lectures, demonstrations, and interactive labs, this course illustrates the foundational principles required to build and sustain an Enterprise Architecture (EA) using the Unified Architecture Framework (UAF) version 1.2.

This training is tailored for professionals who already possess an ITIL® 4 Foundation certification and wish to update their expertise to the latest ITIL® 5 framework.
It offers a streamlined and effective transition, emphasizing the core differences, new concepts, and expanded practices introduced in ITIL® 5.

This course offers a thorough overview of ITIL® 5, the contemporary framework designed for managing digital products and services within today’s rapidly evolving business landscape. It provides participants with a robust understanding of how organizations can generate value through efficient service management and collaborative efforts.

This instructor-led, live training in Sweden (online or onsite) targets intermediate-level IT professionals and ICT service managers who aim to understand and apply ITSM fundamentals and practices based on ITIL 4.

By the conclusion of this training, participants will be able to:

• Understand the key concepts and structure of ITIL 4.
• Apply service design and architecture practices aligned with ITIL 4 principles.
• Implement effective delivery and sustainability of ICT services.
• Evaluate real-world cases and simulate ITSM practices.

The OCSMP Model Builder – Fundamental exam evaluates the knowledge and skills necessary to build a fundamental SysML model of a system. The exam covers model concepts and organization, basic requirements capture and management, structure and behavior models, parametric models, allocation relationships, and the use of stereotypes. By applying the knowledge and skills covered at this level, along with familiarity with a suitable SysML modeling tool, a holder of the OCSMP Model Builder – Fundamental Certification should be able to contribute productively to modeling tasks performed by a Systems Engineering team employing a model-based systems engineering approach using SysML. The OCSMP Model Builder – Fundamental Certification is a prerequisite for the program’s two higher levels and requires the OCSMP Model User Certification as its prerequisite.

This examination (as well as the others in the OCSMP series) tests your ability to apply the knowledge and skills listed here in the context of a model of a system. As you study, go beyond each individual diagram to understand how aspects that it models can influence or affect aspects of the system represented in other diagram types.

In this instructor-led live training in Sweden (available online or on-site), participants will learn how to use SysML as implemented in Enterprise Architect (EA) to perform system requirements analysis and modeling.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Understand and apply SysML to Systems Engineering projects using a Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) approach.
• Identify system requirements based on use case models.
• Design and analyze system architecture.

This hands-on training demonstrates how to effectively utilize the SysML modeling language. Participants will explore block diagrams for structurally modeling complex systems, while deepening their understanding of sequence, state, and activity diagrams for dynamic modeling. The course also covers specialized SysML diagrams, such as requirements and parametric diagrams, along with the critical concept of allocation. Additionally, we will address the importance of defining a modeling approach tailored to the organizational context and the specific type of system under study. Finally, we will review the current landscape of SysML modeling tools.

Audience:

Project managers, architects, and systems engineers who need to model complex systems involving both software and hardware.

Teaching Method:

• Theoretical presentations supported by practical examples
• Case study conducted on paper (including a SysML tool demonstration by the trainer)

This course is tailored for analysts, designers, developers, testers, and project managers.

The workshop provides guidance on problem analysis, system design, and documentation using UML and Sparx Systems' Enterprise Architect. The training covers advanced program capabilities (such as MDA, profiles, and XMI) and best practices that can significantly simplify and accelerate the modeling process.

As the training focuses heavily on the Enterprise Architect tool, participants are expected to already possess UML modeling knowledge. For those wishing to learn modeling from scratch, we offer dedicated UML training courses.

UPDM is an Object Management Group (OMG) initiative to develop a modeling standard that supports both the USA Department of Defense Architecture Framework (DoDAF) and the UK Ministry of Defence Architecture Framework (MODAF). The modeling standard is called the Unified Profile for DoDAF and MODAF (UPDM).

This course is tailored for business analysts, managers, team leads, and process owners to equip them with the necessary skills to create use case diagrams and scenarios. These tools serve as essential vehicles for eliciting, analyzing, documenting, and communicating functional requirements. Participants will engage in hands-on practice to create use cases using the Unified Modeling Language (UML), enabling them to graphically depict interactions between use cases and actors.
