Introduction to Enterprise Architectures Training Course

This training course will explain how to use SysML, the modelling language for systems engineering. You will discover in particular block diagrams for the structural modelling of complex systems. You will deepen your understanding of sequence diagrams, state machine diagrams, and activity diagrams for dynamic modelling. You will also learn how to use SysML-specific diagrams such as the requirements diagram and the parametric diagram, as well as the concept of allocation. We will also emphasise the need to define a modelling approach tailored to the company's context and the type of system under study. Practical application will be carried out using the NoMagic Cameo Systems Modeler (MagicDraw) modelling tool.

Audience:

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

Teaching Method:

Theoretical presentation illustrated with examples
50% practical work using Cameo Systems Modeler on a case study throughout the training.

Domain Driven Design (DDD) is an approach for managing complex behaviours when developing software.

The Department of Defense Architecture Framework (DoDAF) is an architecture framework developed for the United States Department of Defence. It provides a structured approach to addressing specific stakeholder concerns through viewpoints organised by various views.

DoDAF defines a set of views that serve as mechanisms for visualising, understanding, and comprehending the broad scope and complexities of an architecture description, using tabular, structural, behavioural, ontological, pictorial, temporal, or graphical means.

It is particularly well suited to large systems facing complex integration and interoperability challenges, and is notably distinctive in its use of operational views that detail the external customer's operating domain in which the system being developed will function.

This Introduction to Enterprise Architect training course is designed for all individuals who wish to use Sparx Systems’ UML modelling tool, Enterprise Architect, for their modelling activities yet are unfamiliar with the features, functions and use of Enterprise Architect.

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

This programme is tailored for professionals who already hold an ITIL® 4 Foundation certification and wish to update their expertise to align with the latest ITIL® 5 framework.
It offers a streamlined and efficient transition, focusing on the key distinctions, novel concepts, and expanded practices introduced in ITIL® 5.

This programme offers a thorough 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 proficient service management and collaborative efforts.

This instructor-led, live training in New Zealand (online or on-site) is aimed at intermediate-level IT professionals and ICT service managers who wish to understand and apply ITSM fundamentals and practices based on ITIL 4.

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

• Understand the 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.

The OCSMP Model Builder – Fundamental examination evaluates the knowledge and skills necessary to construct a foundational SysML model of a system. The exam encompasses model concepts and organisation, basic requirements capture and management, structure and behaviour models, parametric models, allocation relationships, and the use of stereotypes. By leveraging the knowledge and skills covered at this level, along with familiarity with a suitable SysML modelling tool, a holder of the OCSMP Model Builder – Fundamental Certification should be a productive contributor to modelling 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 programme’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 in New Zealand (online or at your premises), participants will learn how to use SysML as implemented in Enterprise Architect (EA) to carry out system requirements analysis and modelling.

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 analyse system architecture.

This hands-on training will show you how to use the SysML modelling language effectively. You will discover, in particular, how to use block diagrams for the structural modelling of complex systems. You will deepen your understanding of sequence diagrams, state diagrams and activity diagrams for dynamic modelling. You will also learn to use specific SysML diagrams, such as the requirements diagram and the parametric diagram, as well as the key concept of allocation. We will also focus on the need to define a modelling approach that is adapted to the company's context and the type of system under study. Finally, we will review the current state of the art in SysML modelling tools.

Audience:

Project managers, architects and systems engineers who need to model complex systems involving both software and hardware

Teaching Method:

• Theoretical presentation with examples
• Paper-based case study (trainer demonstration of a SysML tool)

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

The workshop covers problem analysis, system design and documentation using UML and Enterprise Architect by Sparx Systems. During the training, participants will explore advanced capabilities of the tool (such as MDA, profiles, XMI) and learn best practices that can significantly simplify and accelerate the modelling process.

As the training focuses on the Enterprise Architect tool, participants are expected to already have a working knowledge of UML modelling. For those who wish to learn UML from the ground up, we offer dedicated UML modelling training.

UPDM is an initiative by the Object Management Group (OMG) to develop a modelling standard that supports both the United States Department of Defence Architecture Framework (DoDAF) and the United Kingdom Ministry of Defence Architecture Framework (MODAF). This modelling standard is known as the Unified Profile for DoDAF and MODAF (UPDM).

This course is designed for business analysts, managers, team leads and process owners to equip them with the necessary competencies to create use case diagrams and use case scenarios. These serve as effective tools for eliciting, analysing, documenting and communicating functional requirements. Participants will gain hands-on experience in creating use cases using the Unified Modeling Language (UML), learning how to graphically represent interactions between use cases and actors.
