These are used consistently to link business processes to applications, and applications to the supporting technology infrastructure.
  • Practical Use of Relationships: Serving relationships describe how services in one layer support functions or roles in another. Realisation relationships show how higher-level functions are delivered by lower-level components. These links ensure that architectural elements are connected from strategy to execution.
  • Derived Relationships: Explore how indirect relationships between layers can be inferred using derivation rules. For example, a technology object may be shown to realise a business object indirectly through intermediate layers.
  • Integrated Modelling for Clarity: By understanding and applying these relationships, participants will be able to build models that reveal how business needs are supported by systems and infrastructure, providing clearer traceability and support across the enterprise.

You will be able to model and analyse how enterprise layers are interlinked, supporting business objectives, application services, and the underlying technology landscape.

The Implementation and Migration Layer

Covers the Implementation and Migration Layer of the ArchiMate® language, focusing on how to model the transition from a current architecture to a future state.

  • Understanding Implementation and Migration Modelling: Learn how to represent and structure change initiatives using key concepts such as work packages, deliverables, events, plateaus, and gaps. These elements allow architects to visualise project activities, state transitions, and the outcomes of transformation efforts.
  • Key Modelling Elements: Work packages define time-bound actions aimed at delivering change. Deliverables represent the outputs of these efforts, while implementation events capture significant changes that affect or trigger progress. Plateaus describe stable architectural states over time, and gaps identify the differences between these states, highlighting what needs to change.
  • Integrating Change into Architecture Models: Understand how to connect implementation and migration elements with motivation and core layers to ensure planned change is clearly traceable to strategic objectives and architectural structures.
  • Applying Viewpoints for Transformation Planning: Use viewpoints such as the Project Viewpoint, Migration Viewpoint, and Implementation and Migration Viewpoint to communicate plans, map transitions, and structure initiatives in a way that is meaningful for stakeholders.

You will be able to model and plan enterprise transformation effectively, bridging strategy and execution through structured change modelling.

Addressing Stakeholder Concerns with Architecture Views and Viewpoints

Introduces the ArchiMate® viewpoint mechanism, which allows architects to create targeted views that address specific stakeholder concerns and conform to the ISO/IEC 42010 standard.

  • Understanding Views, Viewpoints, and Stakeholders: Learn the difference between a view (what is seen in the model) and a viewpoint (the position or concern from which it is seen). A viewpoint defines the purpose, content, and techniques used to construct a view that speaks directly to the needs of stakeholders, whether individuals, teams, or organisations.
  • Creating Targeted Architecture Views: Discover how architects can define and apply viewpoints to generate meaningful representations of the architecture. These views selectively show elements and relationships from the ArchiMate® metamodel that are most relevant to the stakeholder’s concerns.
  • Standards and Classification: The ArchiMate® viewpoint mechanism satisfies ISO/IEC 42010 and categorises viewpoints based on their purpose (designing, deciding, or informing) and content (detail, coherence, or overview). This ensures each view is both purposeful and appropriate to its audience, ranging from technical specialists to executive leadership.
  • Practical Application in Modelling: By applying the viewpoint mechanism, participants will learn how to construct views that improve communication, clarify stakeholder expectations, and support decision-making throughout architecture initiatives.

You will be equipped to design and apply architecture views that communicate effectively with diverse stakeholders, ensuring their concerns are understood and addressed in the modelling process.

Language Customisation Mechanisms

Explores how the ArchiMate® language can be customised to support domain-specific modelling needs, offering additional flexibility and expressiveness beyond the standard metamodel.
