Course content

9 sections • 52 lectures • 6h 49m total length

Introduction2:10
Types of questions in the exam4:52
Use Archi as an Architect15:27
Download the free Archi tool and start a new Archimate business-layer model. Organize elements into folders, duplicate items, and assign id and name properties for each element.

Introduction to the application architecture5:03
How does the different concepts connect together?8:35
Which elements execute automated behavior?11:56
Identify how an application component realizes a service through internal behavior elements and interfaces, and how application collaborations aggregate components to enable collective behavior.
What are the elements that represent the automated behavior?21:43
Which elements represent the logic aspect of data?5:57
Explains how the Archimate data object represents the logic of information in the application layer as a high level abstraction, guiding data flow between application processes.
Practical exercise2:19
Practical exercise solution10:27

A deep view of the Technology Infrastructure4:19
Explore the technology layer in Archimate, following the pattern of active structure elements, internal behavior, and services across layers. Learn how a node delivers technology services via a technology interface.
What are the technology elements and their relationships?5:21
Which technology elements are capable of performing technology behavior?20:10
Explore how technology elements in the Archi metamodel perform behavior, from nodes and devices to system software, technology interfaces, and collaborations.
Which technology elements represent the technology behavior?14:36
What is the main technology object?4:04
Identify technology objects as abstract placeholders and artifacts as concrete data accessed by system software, deployment, or execution in IT operations.
Practical exercise1:20
Solution to practical exercise13:45

Alignment of the business layers and lower layers4:46
Explore cross-layer relationships in Archimate to align the business layer with the application and technology layers, including how data objects realize business objects and services connect actors and processes.
Alignment of the application and technology layers5:04
Align the application and technology layers by showing artifacts realizing data objects. See how technology services and interfaces serve upper layers and artifacts deploy components such as ear files.
How do we see it in Enterprise Architecture diagrams?6:19
Explore how Archimate patterns bridge business and application layers, linking business services, interfaces, roles, and objects with application components and data objects, then visualize technology services serving multiple applications.
Example5:15

What is migration in enterprise architecture modeling?2:54
What are the elements of migration in EA?6:30
Understanding the work that needs to be done4:04
What is a deliverable and a migration event?6:34
Modeling enterprise architecture phases8:11
Cross-layer dependencies (relationships)5:47
Why is useful to have a roadmap?5:53
This lecture explains how a roadmap guides migrating from a baseline to a target architecture through phased plateaus, detailing CRM, financial, legal, and notification components and their dependencies.

Introduction5:38
Derived relationships3:40
Abstraction rule8:07
Derivation rule (flow)3:47
Derivation rule (trigger)4:21
Views and viewpoints9:12
Conceptual model of Architecture description2:49
Architecture viewpoint mechanism4:08
Viewpoint purpose, content and example9:37
Explore Archimate viewpoint mechanism and three purposes: designing, deciding, and informing; and how viewpoint content levels (overview, coherence, detailed) guide stakeholder needs and compliant models.

What to do in the modeling exercises?2:58
Modeling Motivation14:37
Modeling Business Part 113:40
Modeling Business Part 219:35
Modeling Migration Part 123:06
Modeling Migration Part 211:24
Explore the baseline architecture, use the visualizer to map element relationships, then plan steps to migrate to a target architecture with separate layers, a unified database, and an app-to-app interface.
Modeling Migration Part 311:38
Modeling Physical Layer7:51
Farewell2:57

Requirements

You should have taken the Enterprise Architecture Modeling Course part 1
Knowledge of the basic concepts in the Enterprise Architecture Framework
No previous experience in modeling is required
Knowledge of the business layer concepts

Description

This course is for anyone who wants to complete its training in Enterprise Architecture Modeling and wants to prepare for Foundation and Practitioner levels.

Through this course we will dive deep into a business scenario and give a solution to it. Then we will go for the Application, Technology and Physical layers. We will study the whole elements of all EA Architecture

Moreover we will dive deep into the advanced concepts like the Cross-layer relationships, derived relationships, views and Viewpoints.

Finally we will do practical exercises that will help you to get prepared not only for the certification exam but also for real life scenarios where you, as architect, will be able to model the different layers and aspects and put into practice the concepts that we have seen during our course.

I'll be pretty much happy to help you in this journey. Also, if you have any questions, you can send them to me and I will reply as soon as possible. That means, for example, that If you have a specific question regarding a concept or a modeling aspect that you want to discuss, I'll be replying to you specifically. Moreover, I'll be glad to hear that you have already reached the foundation and practitioner levels.

So LET'S START
