MODAF Training in Tampa

MODAF is an internationally recognised enterprise architecture framework developed by the MOD to support Defence planning and change management activities. It does this by enabling the capture and presentation of information in a rigorous, coherent and comprehensive way that aids the understanding of complex issues.

The audience:

• Enterprise Architects, the principal customers for MODAF views, who need to both correctly interpret standard MODAF views provided to them and to specify and control the tasks required to create new views
• Architectural modellers who need guidance on the creation and interchange of MODAF views (including for example: architecting principles, view coherence rules and tool selection criteria)
• Tool developers and engineers who are implementing architectural data repositories for storing and manipulating MODAF Architecture data elements
• Trainers and educators who require reference material in order to appropriately train and support the previous types of MODAF users
• MODAF users who wish to contribute to the development of MODAF
• Managers who need to understand what views are required to answer their particular questions

This instructor-led, live training in Tampa (online or onsite) is aimed at intermediate-level professionals who wish to understand and apply NAF to support enterprise architecture design and decision-making across defense-related projects.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Understand the structure and purpose of the NATO Architecture Framework.
• Identify and describe various architecture views within NAF.
• Map stakeholder requirements to architectural components.
• Use tools like Sparx Enterprise Architect to create NAF-compliant models.

UPDM is an Object Management Group (OMG) initiative to develop a modeling standard that supports both the USA Department of Defense Architecture Framework (DoDAF) and the UK Ministry of Defence Architecture Framework (MODAF). The modeling standard is called the Unified Profile for DoDAF and MODAF (UPDM).
