TOGAF® Enterprise Architecture: Foundation & Practitioner and ArchiMate® 3 Practitioner Bundle – eLearning

In the initial module, an introduction is provided concerning the main features of the course, along with a comprehensive learning plan, the goals and objectives set forth, and its overall structure. Additionally, participants are given access to a course guide, a package containing various diagrams, a glossary, documents for further reading and links, and access to download necessary copies of framework publications.

The first chapter opens with an Executive Overview, which provides a broad outline regarding The Open Group’s perception of Enterprise Architecture, addressing several basic inquiries such as the nature of an enterprise, the necessity of an Enterprise Architecture, and the reasons for employing the TOGAF Standard as a guiding framework for Enterprise Architecture. The subsequent chapter delves into the foundational concepts of the TOGAF Standard, including an introductory depiction of the Architecture Development Method (ADM), the Enterprise Continuum, Architecture Repository, Content Framework, Enterprise Metamodel, and Enterprise Capability.

The initial chapter of this module elaborates on the elementary structure of the ADM along with various critical aspects. The following chapter shifts focus towards the governance and scoping pertaining to Enterprise Architecture.

This module provides an overview of the purpose and goals associated with each phase of the ADM, starting from the preliminary phase through to phases A-H. It includes explanations regarding Requirements Management and the role of architecture within an Agile Enterprise.

In this module, an introduction is given to the supporting guidelines and techniques of the ADM. It outlines the purpose behind Architecture principles, the attributes of a sound Architecture Principle, and proceeds to discuss business scenarios, interoperability, the Business Transformation Readiness Assessment, and risk management strategies.

This module starts by directing learners on where detailed guidance on applying the TOGAF Standard can be found. It discusses the application of iteration to the ADM, the Architecture Landscape, Architecture Partitioning, and the purposes of EA Capability, concluding with how the TOGAF Standard facilitates support for the digital enterprise.

An explanation is provided on the concept of Architecture Governance, initially focusing on its nature and characteristics. It also covers the role and responsibilities of an Architecture Board, alongside the functions of Architecture Contracts and Architecture Compliance.

Focus in this module is placed on the content of Architecture — the outputs generated during the execution of the ADM. It starts by defining the key concepts of Architectural Artifacts, the essence of building blocks and their utilisation in the ADM, and outlines the TOGAF Standard deliverables that are created and utilised across various ADM phases.

This module contains two practice exams, one of which is provided by The Open Group, while the other has been developed by Good e-Learning

The concluding module offers information regarding the procedure for booking the exam and details other courses that might be of interest.

Module zero provides an introduction to the main aspects of the course, including its features, learning plans, objectives, and structure. Participants will receive a course guide, a set of diagrams, documents for further reading and links, as well as access to downloadable essential framework publications.

Module one delves into defining Enterprise Architecture and examining both Architecture Governance and Architecture Security. This module incorporates a scenario enabling participants to apply what they have learned.

In Module two, the focus is on the management of Agile development and digital business within TOGAF and the iteration in the TOGAF method. A scenario is included for individuals to demonstrate their acquired knowledge.

This module explores the initial Phase A of the ADM and the management of stakeholders during Architecture work. It covers the fundamental elements of phase A, including Architecture views, viewpoints, and the evaluation of alternatives and trade-offs. A practical scenario is included for knowledge application.

Module four delves into Phases B, C, and D of the ADM, discussing the inputs, outputs, steps, and approach for each phase, alongside security concerns relevant to each phase. It includes a scenario where knowledge can be applied.

Exploring Phases E, F, and G of the ADM, Module five reviews the inputs, outputs, steps, and approach for these phases, as well as associated security concerns. It includes a scenario for practical application of knowledge.

Module six addresses how changes are managed in Phase H of the ADM and how requirements are handled throughout the ADM in the Requirements Management Phase. It includes a scenario for participants to demonstrate their understanding.

Module seven examines essential concepts that support ADM activities, such as Business Scenarios, Migration Planning Techniques, Compliance Reviews, and the Architecture Landscape.

This module explores the Architecture Repository and the Enterprise Metamodel used to organise Architecture content. It includes a scenario where knowledge can be demonstrated.

Containing a series of exam preparation exercises based on real-world scenarios and a timed practice exam, Module nine prepares participants for the certification test.

Module ten provides details on how to book the exam and information on other courses that may be of interest.

This module provides an introduction to the course, detailing its main features, learning plan, aims, objectives, and overall structure. It includes a range of resources such as a diagram pack, tables pack, examples pack, and a comprehensive course guide that contains the syllabus, exam information, and frequently asked questions about the ArchiMate 3 Practitioner certification.

Introduces the ArchiMate 3 standard, version 3.2, outlining its objectives, providing a brief overview, and explaining the key terminology used throughout the standard.

Explores the structure of the ArchiMate modelling language, including its top-level structure, the concept of layering, and the ArchiMate Core Framework and Full Framework.

Describes the structure and key elements of the ArchiMate generic metamodel, providing a foundational understanding for deeper exploration in subsequent modules.

Details the core set of relationships defined within the ArchiMate language and how these connectors are used to denote interactions and alignments between elements.

Discusses the concepts used to express the underlying motivation for an architecture, enriched with practical examples.

Focuses on elements for modelling the enterprise at a strategic level, including essential models and examples to illustrate strategic planning and alignment.

Covers the definition and usage of the Business Layer elements within ArchiMate, providing examples to show practical application.

Examines the Application Layer of the ArchiMate framework, detailing how these elements are defined and used, complemented by relevant examples.

Explores the Technology Layer elements, describing their definition and practical usage within the context of IT architecture.

Discusses the relationships between different layers of the ArchiMate language and introduces elements used to express the implementation and migration aspects of an architecture, such as projects, programs, plateaus, and gaps.

Describes the ArchiMate viewpoint mechanism and explores how to customise the ArchiMate language for specialised or domain-specific applications.

Contains two practice tests provided by The Open Group, designed to prepare participants for the ArchiMate 3 Part 1 and Part 2 exams by testing their knowledge and understanding of the course content.

Provides essential information on how to book the certification exam and introduces additional courses that may be of interest. This module ensures participants are well-prepared for certification and further learning opportunities.
