This Enterprise Architecture Applied Concepts course builds on the theory and practice that was presented in the Enterprise Architecture Basic Concepts course, and extends your understanding of these concepts through hands-on exercises to develop Enterprise Architecture (EA) documentation (artifacts) at each level of the architecture framework. Nearly 50 artifact types are covered, and you will practice the development of several key artifacts including a SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats) table, workflow diagram, data model, use case, system diagram, network diagram, and security control list. 

This course is the second course of the three course series. Taught over four days, each day consists of morning lectures, discussions, and afternoon hands-on documentation workshops. Those who complete the Enterprise Architecture Applied Concepts course will receive a completion certificate. Those who complete all three courses in the series Enterprise Architecture Basic Concepts, Enterprise Architecture Applied Concepts and Enterprise Architecture Advanced Concepts , and who successfully pass the in-class exams, will also receive the Certified Enterprise Architect (CEA) designation and certificate from the International Enterprise Architecture Institute http://www.internationaleainstitute.org.

Intermediate course is for executives, managers, and staff in public and private sector organizations who want to gain an understanding of how to establish an EA program, update existing architectures, do specific projects, grow EA teams, and use EA to support planning and decision-making. 

Upon completion of the Enterprise Architecture Applied Concepts course, students will be able to: 

• Establish a solid foundation in selecting and using EA documentation techniques; 
• Understand EA documentation examples at the following levels: strategy, business, data, systems, networks, and security; and 
• Identify key factors to consider when working on an EA project plan, such as: scope, stakeholders, requirements, alternatives analysis, documentation, metrics, and solution development.
