Introduction to Enterprise Architectures Training Course

This training will explain how to use SysML, the modeling language for systems engineering. You will specifically learn about block diagrams for structurally modeling complex systems. You will deepen your understanding of sequence diagrams, state diagrams, and activity diagrams for dynamic modeling. You will also learn to use specific SysML diagrams such as the requirements diagram and parametric diagram, as well as the concept of allocation. We will also emphasize the need to define a modeling approach adapted to the enterprise context and the type of system to be studied. Practical exercises will be conducted using NoMagic's modeling tool, Cameo Systems Modeler (MagicDraw).

Audience:

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

Pedagogical Approach:

Theoretical presentations illustrated with examples
50% hands-on practice with Cameo Systems Modeler throughout a case study during the course.

Domain-Driven Design (DDD) is an approach for handling complex behaviors when developing software.

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

DoDAF establishes a set of views that function as tools for visualizing, comprehending, and integrating the extensive scope and complexities of architecture descriptions, utilizing tabular, structural, behavioral, ontological, pictorial, temporal, or graphical representations.

It is particularly well-suited for managing large-scale systems that face complex integration and interoperability challenges. Notably, it distinguishes itself through the use of operational views, which detail the external customer's operating environment in which the system under development will function.

This introductory training course on Enterprise Architect is tailored for individuals eager to leverage Sparx Systems' UML modelling tool, Enterprise Architect, for their modelling tasks but who are new to its features, functions, and usage.

Through a blend of lectures, demonstrations, and interactive labs, this course illustrates the foundations for building and maintaining an Enterprise Architecture (EA) using the Unified Architecture Framework (UAF) version 1.2.

This program 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 efficient transition, emphasizing the key differences, novel concepts, and expanded practices introduced in ITIL® 5.

This training offers a thorough introduction to ITIL® 5, the contemporary framework for managing digital products and services in today's rapidly evolving landscape. It empowers participants with a robust understanding of how organizations can generate value through effective service management and collaboration.

This instructor-led, live training in Taiwan (online or onsite) is designed for intermediate-level IT professionals and ICT service managers who aim to grasp and implement ITSM fundamentals and practices grounded in ITIL 4.

Upon completing this training, participants will be equipped to:

• Comprehend the core concepts and structure of ITIL 4.
• Apply service design and architecture practices that align with ITIL 4 principles.
• Execute effective delivery and sustain ICT services.
• Analyze real-world scenarios and simulate ITSM practices.

The OCSMP Model Builder – Fundamental examination assesses the knowledge and skills necessary to build a foundational SysML model of a system. The exam encompasses model concepts and organization, fundamental requirements capture and management, structure and behavior models, parametric models, allocation relationships, and the use of stereotypes. With the knowledge and skills attained at this level, combined with familiarity with a suitable SysML modeling tool, a holder of the OCSMP Model Builder – Fundamental Certification should be a productive contributor to modeling tasks performed by a Systems Engineering team employing a model-based systems engineering approach using SysML.  The OCSMP Model Builder – Fundamental Certification serves as a prerequisite for the program’s two higher levels, and requires the OCSMP Model User Certification as its prerequisite. 

This examination (along with the others in the OCSMP series) evaluates your ability to apply the knowledge and skills outlined here within the context of a system model. 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 Taiwan (online or onsite), participants will learn how to use SysML as implemented in Enterprise Architect (EA) to carry out 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 the efficient use of the SysML modeling language. You will explore block diagrams for structurally modeling complex systems, and deepen your understanding of sequence, state, and activity diagrams for dynamic modeling. Additionally, you will learn to utilize specialized SysML diagrams, such as requirements and parametric diagrams, along with the critical concept of allocation. The course also emphasizes the importance of defining a modeling approach tailored to your organization's context and the specific systems under study. Finally, we will review the current landscape of SysML modeling tools.

Audience:

Project managers, architects, and system engineers responsible for modeling complex systems comprising both software and hardware components.

Teaching Method:

• Theoretical presentations supported by practical examples
• Hands-on case study on paper, including a trainer-led demonstration of a SysML tool

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

The workshop covers problem analysis, design, and system documentation using UML and Sparx Systems' Enterprise Architect. The training highlights the software's advanced capabilities, such as MDA, profiles, and XMI, along with best practices that can significantly simplify and accelerate the modeling process.

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

UPDM is an initiative by the Object Management Group (OMG) aimed at establishing a modeling standard that accommodates both the United States Department of Defense Architecture Framework (DoDAF) and the United Kingdom Ministry of Defence Architecture Framework (MODAF). This modeling standard is known as the Unified Profile for DoDAF and MODAF (UPDM).

Designed for business analysts, managers, team leaders, and process owners, this course equips participants with the essential skills to create use case diagrams and scenarios. These tools facilitate the elicitation, analysis, documentation, and communication of functional requirements. Participants will practice constructing use cases using the Unified Modeling Language (UML) to visually depict interactions between use cases and actors.
