 Learning Objectives

Why should you attend this ArchiMate® 2.1 Foundation workshop ?

In most organizations, every business and technical domain speaks its own language, draws its own models, and uses its own techniques and tools. Communication and decision making across domains, necessary for business change, is thus seriously impaired. Just like an architectural drawing in classical building architecture describes the various aspects of the construction and use of a building, ArchiMate offers a common language for describing the construction and operation of business processes, organizational structures, information flows, IT systems, and technical infrastructure. This insight helps stakeholders to design, assess, and communicate the consequences of decisions and changes within and between these business domains.

ArchiMate is a graphical design language for modeling and analyzing enterprise architecture. Just like TOGAF® (The Open Group Architecture Framework), it is a standard of The Open Group. Since version 2, ArchiMate links up with TOGAF even better, which simplifies applying a fully integrated Enterprise Architecture approach within your organization. Besides the core concepts (indicated as "ArchiMate Core") that model company, application and infrastructure layers of Enterprise Architecture, the language was expanded with two extensions, the Motivation Extension, to optimally model stakeholders, motivation for change, business goals, principles and wishes, and the Implementation & Migration Extension.

ArchiMate enables architects to document Enterprise Architecture in a consistent, coherent and unambiguous way, and to communicate it to multiple levels within the organization. This leads to a better synchronization between business and IT. Compared to bare-bones certification trainings, this workshop allows time to discuss best practices, and the application of ArchiMate in your own work environment.

This training is presented by ArchiMate experts from BiZZdesign, who holds an ArchiMate® 2 Commercial License issued by The Open Group. I.T. Works acts as a service provider to BiZZdesign and is not required to be licensed by The Open Group.

Why you don’t want to miss this workshop on ArchiMate® 2.1:

To ensure that ArchiMate is fully understood and consistently applied within your organization, training is of great importance. The success rate of your enterprise architecture effort is dramatically increased when the use of ArchiMate is correctly and efficiently addressed within your organization. This training combines the theory, a lot of practical insights and the certification exam during the afternoon on the second day. This will be done during the course and at the course location. After successful completion of the exam you will be registered for ArchiMate 2 Foundation at The Open Group.

What will you learn during this workshop ?

After completion of this two-day training, you will have:

• a good overview of the different aspects of ArchiMate 2.1
• understanding of the key concepts of ArchiMate for modeling and describing architectures
• gained detailed knowledge of the different aspects of ArchiMate 2.1: the ArchiMate Core, the 2 ArchiMate 2.1 Extensions, viewpoints, and some best practices in modeling with ArchiMate
• insight in the relationship between TOGAF and ArchiMate
• finished the ArchiMate 2.1 Foundation exam (the exam requires also some self-study)

The number of participants is limited to 16 for optimal interaction and a better learning experience.

Who should participate in this ArchiMate® workshop ?

This training is aimed at people who want to know what ArchiMate is, or who want to use ArchiMate. This includes (but is not limited to) business-, enterprise- and IT-architects, IT-managers, consultants and project managers.

Participants should be somewhat familiar with enterprise architecture, either acquired by working in projects, or by following enterprise architecture or TOGAF® training.
