DoDAF 2.0 Modeling with IBM Rational System Architect | Packaged Service

This course provides an introduction to using IBM Rational System Architect. Working with a simple scenario, you learn about the Rational System Architect environment, including an overview of:

• Supported methodologies and notations, Encyclopedia concepts, Drawing techniques, Model components, Reporting.

The example spans the enterprise architecture (EA) layers. A number of standard notations are used to capture and present the information. Emphasis is placed in relating model artifacts, and basic analysis techniques. This course is a combination of lecture and hands on exercises.

• You should have:
  • Experience creating DoDAF 1.5 work products, or DoDAF 2.0 described models
  • Working knowledge of IBM Rational System Architect

  You should complete the following courses:

  • Fundamentals of IBM Rational System Architect, V11.4, HQ133/QBV32 or earlier versions

WHAT YOU WILL LEARN:

• Model DoDAF 2.0 described models
• Capability modeling
• Operational modeling
• System/Service modeling
• Manage change across the DoDAF-described models
• Perform analysis on DoDAF models
• Report on information in the encyclopedia
• Collaborate with your team and stakeholders
