Overview
The complexity of today's IT environments, regulations
and competitive pressures are driving many enterprises to implement IT
architecture programs. While Enterprise Architecture (EA) isn't new, it
has produced mixed results. Successful organizations have streamlined
costs, improved alignment between business strategy and IT systems, and improved
flexibility. With this success, the demand for qualified architects is
even greater.
Unfortunately, many organization or architects do not have an overall understanding of what enterprise architecture is, how programs are structured, the roles, responsibilities and skills of an enterprise architect, what enterprise architecture looks like, how to create architecture, how to apply it, and how to deliver value to their organization through EA. This workshop is aimed at making sure you understand these questions and how to achieve these results. We will illustrate the many different aspect of EA and discuss how to deliver maximum value with Enterprise Architecture and avoid common pitfalls and mistakes. Topics will include EA principles and practices, EA domains of business, information, application, and technology architecture, and the architectural skills and thinking needed to be an enterprise architect.
Although EA frameworks will be covered, this course has a different focus than framework based training. Rather than dig into the specific details, methods, and vocabulary of a particular framework, this course teaches the principles, skills, and thinking that you need to be a good architect and to apply architecture regardless of the framework. You will leave with new skills and techniques that can immediately be applied to your job and project.
The workshop is structured as a mix of presentation, interactive discussion, and group based exercises, so participants get the chance to apply the techniques learned to example scenarios during the facilitated exercises.

- Understand the concepts, models and vocabularies of different architectural roles

- Learn architectural principles and skills that can immediately be applied to your current role
- Understand the issues and techniques of business and information architecture
- Understand application architectural styles, patterns, reference architectures and methodologies
