NATO Architecture Framework (NAF) Training in the UAE

This instructor-led, live training in the UAE (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.
• Describe and understand different types of NATO architectures.
• Generate and interpret NATO Architecture Views.
• Identify and analyze stakeholders and Communities of Interest (CoIs).
• Align stakeholders' interests with the architecture.
• Analyze and document CoI's architecture interests and impacts.

Objective: This course is designed to assist participants in effectively implementing the UAF and NAF enterprise architecture frameworks.

Gaining an understanding of the UAF 1.1 within the context of the NATO NAF v4 Architecture Framework is highly advantageous, as the Domain Meta-model (DMM) of UAF delineates various stakeholder concerns related to a system—such as security, information, or measurements—through predefined viewpoints and maps these to corresponding views in NAFv4.

Additionally, the Architecture Stages within the NATO NAFv4 Methodology aid in comprehending how to utilize the UAF views efficiently to ensure coherence and completeness while facilitating traceability from high-level goals down to individual and physical resources required for their realization.

The concepts and techniques covered during the course are progressively applied by participants through an end-to-end case study and various exercises.

Course Format:

• Interactive lectures and discussions.
• Numerous exercises and practical sessions.
• Hands-on implementation in a live-lab environment.
