ArchiMate® 3 Training: Foundation (Level 1)

ArchiMate® 3 is an open and independent modeling language for Enterprise Architecture. It complements The Open Group Architectural Framework (TOGAF), although it is not dependent on TOGAF®. ArchiMate® 3 offers architects a notation methodology for describing, analyzing, and visualizing relationships among entities in business, data, application, and technology domains. ArchiMate can also be used to support other modeling languages, such as UML for software development and BPMN for business process modeling.

The ArchiMate® 3 Enterprise Architecture modeling language provides a uniform representation for diagrams that describe Enterprise Architectures. It includes concepts for specifying inter-related architectures, specifying viewpoints for selected stakeholders, and language customization mechanisms. It describes and brings different architecture domains and their underlying relations and dependencies to visualization.

This intensive course covers the entire syllabus for the ArchiMate® 3 Foundation (Level 1), thereby preparing candidates for the ArchiMate® 3 Foundation (Level 1) examination.
