Learning Objectives

This 5 day course follows the combined syllabus of both the BCS Intermediate and BCS Practitioner Certificates in Enterprise and Solutions Architecture.

It follows a typical flow of an Enterprise Architecture process covering the knowledge and understanding of concepts and terminology involved before applying practical application of this to a case study.

The main concepts covered are:

• The different kinds/levels of IT Architecture

• Aligning IT to Business

• Architectural pre-cursors such as constraints and motivation

• The value and use of frameworks

• Concepts and techniques associated with the main Architecture Domains - Business, Data, Applications, Infrastructure

• An architectural approach to handling non-function alrequirements

Throughout delegates are shown how to and practice creating a set of IT Architectural deliverables (views) in the following areas:

• Architectural pre-cursors

• Business, Data, Application and Infrastructure architecture

• Governance of architectural activity

The primary aims are to give Enterprise and Solution Architects a broad framework that covers the range of architecture work that precedes and steers system development, and to focus attention on areas where the architect is responsible for effective design and risk management.

A secondary aim is to provide architects with generally applicable knowledge and training - independent of any specific architecture framework including general knowledge and skills.

This course will enable delegates to:

- demonstrate that they can apply this knowledge to specific circumstances
- produce deliverables in architecture pre-cursors: goals, directives and scope
- produce architecture descriptions for business, data, applications and infrastructure architectures

Pre-Requisites

Six or more years experience of IS/IT work including some architecture definition.
