Enterprise architecture bootcamp
The five-day EA Bootcamp course is designed to provide a comprehensive introduction to individuals entering an architecture-related role and/or needing a basic understanding of enterprise architecture concepts.
Existing EA courses focus on a single aspect of EA and assume that delegates have some experience in the field. The EA Bootcamp however, is aimed at beginners and addresses a span of EA concepts and theories.
Companies who have already adopted TOGAF™ will find this course valuable as part of an induction programme for new recruits and/or a refresher to current employees needing to brush-up on the principles of EA and modelling.
Course Description
This five-day course covers the EA fundamentals so as to equip delegates with the foundational knowledge needed to participate in EA initiatives. The course also serves as a basis for future training in the field.
The EA Bootcamp is divided into three parts.
Part 1 introduces and defines the concept of enterprise architecture, and positions it within the organisational context using the Zachman Framework and Operating Models as defined by J. Ross, P. Weill, D. Robertson in their book, Enterprise Architecture as Strategy.
Part 2 focuses on EA methodology. It covers the official TOGAF 9 Foundation training curriculum that includes an overview of the TOGAF™ 9 framework and instruction on how to apply it in support of the design and implementation of EA.
Delegates have the option of registering for The Open Group TOGAF 9 Foundation exam after completing this part of the course. (Please note that the exam fees are not included in the price of this course)
Part 3 allows delegates to practically apply their knowledge through the introduction of ArchiMateTM, The Open Group's open and independent modelling language for EA. ArchiMate offers a common language for describing the construction and operation of business processes, organisational structures, information flows, IT systems, and technical infrastructure.
All aspects of the ArchiMate 1.0 standard are discussed in detail, including an in-depth focus on the ArchiMate meta-model, language structure, viewpoints and model, and language extensions.
Delegates receive a Starter Kit of information resources and tools (including a TOGAF 9 book, an ArchiMate 1.0 book, and a Modelling Tool) to assist them in applying their learning in the work environment.

Course Outcomes
On completing this course, delegates will know how to position EA within their organisations and understand the value of following an architectural approach. Delegates will also be familiar with the Architecture Development Method; Content Framework and Capability Framework that TOGAF™ 9 provides, and know how TOGAF 9 is used as the basis for creating an organisation's EA.
In addition, delegates will comprehend the structure and meta-model of the ArchiMate language, and will be able to identify and use the appropriate ArchiMate viewpoints when modelling.
This knowledge acquired on this course will equip delegates to function within an EA environment.
Course Instructor
The course instructors have architecture experience both from consulting and corporate view-points and are thus familiar with many real-world challenges.
