Enterprise Architecture Overview Training Course

This training will explain how to use SysML, the modelling language for systems engineering. You will particularly explore block diagrams for modelling the structure of complex systems. You will delve into sequence diagrams, state machine diagrams, and activity diagrams for dynamic modelling. You will also learn to use specific SysML diagrams such as requirements diagrams and parametric diagrams, as well as the concept of allocation. We will also emphasise the need to define a modelling approach suitable for the company's context and the type of system under study. Practical exercises will be carried out using NoMagic's modelling tool, Cameo Systems Modeler (MagicDraw).

Audience:

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

Pedagogical method:

Theoretical presentation illustrated with examples
50% hands-on exercises with Cameo Systems Modeler using a case study throughout the training

Domain-Driven Design (DDD) is a methodology for managing complex software behaviours during development.

The Department of Defense Architecture Framework (DoDAF) serves as an architectural framework designed for the United States Department of Defense. It offers a structured approach to addressing specific stakeholder concerns through viewpoints, which are organized into various views.

DoDAF establishes a set of views that function as tools for visualizing, comprehending, and integrating the broad scope and complexity of an architecture description. These views utilize tabular, structural, behavioral, ontological, pictorial, temporal, or graphical methods to convey information.

This framework is particularly well-suited for large-scale systems characterized by complex integration and interoperability challenges. It stands out for its use of operational views, which detail the operating domain of the external customer within which the system being developed will function.

This course provides an introduction to Enterprise Architect, designed for individuals who intend to utilize Sparx Systems’ UML modelling tool but are new to its features, functions, and practical application.

Combining lectures, demonstrations, and interactive labs, this course illustrates the foundational methods for establishing and maintaining an Enterprise Architecture (EA) through the use of the Unified Architecture Framework (UAF) version 1.2.

This course 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, emphasising the key distinctions, novel concepts, and expanded practices introduced in ITIL® 5.

This training delivers a comprehensive introduction to ITIL® 5, the contemporary framework designed for managing digital products and services within today’s rapidly evolving landscapes. It empowers participants with a robust understanding of how organisations can generate value through effective service management and collaboration.

This instructor-led, live training in Portugal (online or onsite) is designed for intermediate-level IT professionals and ICT service managers who wish to grasp and apply ITSM fundamentals and practices based on ITIL 4.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Understand key concepts and structure of ITIL 4.
• Apply service design and architecture practices aligned with ITIL 4 principles.
• Implement effective delivery and sustainability of ICT services.
• Evaluate real-world cases and simulate ITSM practices.

This instructor-led, live training is aimed at beginner-level engineers and professionals who wish to use MBPLE within CATIA Magic to understand and implement product line engineering concepts.

• By the end of this training, participants will be able to:
• Understand the key concepts and vocabulary of PLE and MBPLE
• Describe best practices for product line modeling
• Implement a product line definition process in CATIA Magic
• Use MBPLE features such as feature models, variation points, and configurations

The OCSMP Model Builder – Fundamental examination evaluates the knowledge and skills necessary to create a basic SysML model of a system. The exam covers model concepts and organization, basic requirements capture and management, structure and behavior models, parametric models, allocation relationships, and the use of stereotypes. With the knowledge and skills covered at this level, plus 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 is a prerequisite for the program’s two higher levels, and requires the OCSMP Model User Certification as its prerequisite.

This examination (as well as the others in the OCSMP series) tests your ability to apply the knowledge and skills listed here in the context of a model of a system. 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 Portugal (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 how to effectively utilise the SysML modelling language. Participants will explore block diagrams for structurally modelling complex systems, while deepening their understanding of sequence diagrams, state diagrams, and activity diagrams for dynamic modelling. Additionally, the course covers specific SysML diagrams, such as the requirements diagram and parametric diagram, alongside the crucial concept of allocation. Attention is also given to defining a modelling approach tailored to the organisation’s context and the system under study. Finally, the current state of SysML modelling tools will be reviewed.

Audience:

Project managers, architects, and system engineers responsible for modelling complex systems that encompass both software and hardware components.

Teaching Method:

• Theoretical presentation accompanied by examples
• Case study conducted on paper, featuring a SysML tool demonstration by the trainer

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 program's advanced capabilities (such as MDA, profiles, and XMI) alongside best practices that can significantly streamline and accelerate the modeling process.

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

Training Methodology

10% Lecture, 90% Workshop

Designed for business analysts, managers, team leaders, and process owners, this course provides the essential competencies needed to create use case diagrams and scenarios. These tools serve as an effective means of eliciting, analysing, documenting, and communicating functional requirements. Participants will gain hands-on experience creating use cases using the Unified Modelling Language (UML) to visually represent interactions between actors and use cases.
