Course Description:
This course provides practical experience in creating enterprise architecture plans and products from a management perspective.  Hands-on exercises implementing the DoD Architecture Framework (DoDAF) challenge managers to think critically about how to put theory into practice.  These exercises include developing an enterprise architecture project plan and using tools to create and explore DoDAF architecture products.  The course also explores how to use enterprise architecture to analyze operational or business requirements and capabilities, identify optimal solutions, and determine transition strategies. 

Recommended Attendance:
The course is for middle to senior IT personnel and managers responsible for leading or overseeing enterprise architecture programs and projects. 

Prerequisite:
Enterprise Architectures for Managers (ARC)

Learning Outcomes:
Students will be able to develop an effective plan for an enterprise architecture project; select and create DoD architecture views and products to satisfy an enterprise architecture project’s purpose and scope; and apply enterprise architecture products to analyze operational or business requirements and capabilities, identify optimal solutions, and determine transition strategies.
