WA1513 Enterprise Architecture Bootcamp Training and Courseware (coming soon)

Using technology to solve an immediate, pressing problem is relatively easy. Designing and implementing a robust architecture that serves the immediate needs to the enterprise and is consistent with the long-term strategic vision of the organization is a bit more difficult. Enterprise Architecture (EA) is the practice of applying a comprehensive and rigorous method for describing, defining, designing, and ultimately deploying a framework that addresses business architecture, performance management, organizational structure, and process architecture.

This four-day, hands-on workshop explores EA and the move within organizations to adopt a rigorous process for describing the current and future states of an enterprise’s maturity as well as mapping out the steps necessary to move the organization forward.  This course will equip architects and team leads with a working knowledge of EA, hands-on experience applying some of the most popular frameworks such as Zachman, TOGAF, DoDAF, and EABOK, and a broad awareness for the implications of EA and how to best support the adoption of EA through changes to people, processes, and technology.
