Nato Architecture Framework (NAF) Training in Waterloo

This instructor-led, live training in Waterloo (online or onsite) is aimed at beginner-level to advanced-level architects and professionals in the field of enterprise architecture who wish to gain a comprehensive understanding and practical skills in utilizing the NAF for enterprise architecture. It covers all aspects without focusing on specific views or functions. Sparx Enterprise Architect or any other preferred tools are used.By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Navigate NAF documentation efficiently.
• Utilize Sparx Enterprise Architect for architecture-related tasks.

This course gives a solid understanding across all aspects of Nato Architecture Framework. It does not focus on a specific view or function, but allows the delegates to easily find more information in the documentation and easily understand it. During the course the delegates will do simple exercises, answer questions, etc... Sparx Enterprise Architect is usually used during the course, but any other tools can be used instead.

Objective : This course aims at helping attendees understand how to put in practice the UAF and NAF enterprise architecture frameworks. Understanding concepts of the UAF 1.1 in the context of the NATO NAF v4 Architecture Framework is very beneficial as the Domain Meta-model (DMM) of UAF describes various stakeholder concerns associated with a system, such as security, information or measurements through a set of predefined viewpoints and then mapped to the corresponding views in NAFv4. On the other hand, the Architecture Stages of the NATO NAFv4 Methodology helps to understand how to make use efficiently of the views of the UAF to ensure coherence and completeness while enabling traceability from high-level goals until personal and physical resources that need be deployed to realize them. Concepts and techniques explained during the course are progressively applied by the attendees using an end-to-end case study and different exercises on it. Format of the Course

• Interactive lecture and discussion.
• Lots of exercises and practice.
• Hands-on implementation in a live-lab environment.
