Enterprise Architecture 73 is a hypothetical course that could be offered by a university or college to teach students about the principles and practices of enterprise architecture (EA). EA is a discipline for proactively and holistically leading enterprise responses to disruptive forces by identifying and analyzing the execution of change toward desired business vision and outcomes. EA helps organizations standardize and organize IT infrastructure to align with business goals. EA is often compared with town-planning or urban design, as it involves conducting enterprise analysis, design, planning, and implementation for the successful development and execution of strategy.
The course Enterprise Architecture 73 could cover the following topics:
– The history and evolution of EA, from its origins in the 1980s to its current state and future trends
– The benefits and challenges of EA, such as improving service delivery, reducing complexity, enhancing agility, fostering innovation, and managing risks
– The frameworks and methodologies of EA, such as The Open Group Architecture Framework (TOGAF), Zachman Framework, Federal Enterprise Architecture Framework (FEAF), and Government of Canada Enterprise Architecture Framework (GCEAF)
– The domains and layers of EA, such as business architecture, information architecture, application architecture, technology architecture, and security architecture
– The tools and techniques of EA, such as business capability modeling, value stream mapping, service-oriented architecture, application programming interfaces, cloud computing, and artificial intelligence
– The governance and management of EA, such as enterprise architecture review boards, architecture principles, standards, policies, and best practices
– The case studies and examples of EA, such as the Service and Digital Target Enterprise Architecture White Paper, which defines a model for the digital enablement of GC services that address many of the critical challenges with the current GC enterprise ecosystem
The course Enterprise Architecture 73 could have the following learning outcomes:
– Explain the concept and purpose of EA and its role in digital transformation, IT growth, and modernization
– Compare and contrast different EA frameworks and methodologies and their applicability to various contexts and scenarios
– Apply EA concepts and techniques to analyze, design, plan, and implement enterprise solutions that support business goals and outcomes
– Evaluate the effectiveness and efficiency of EA solutions and identify areas for improvement and optimization
– Communicate and collaborate with stakeholders and peers using EA terminology, artifacts, and standards
The course Enterprise Architecture 73 could have the following assessment methods:
– Quizzes and exams to test the knowledge and understanding of EA concepts, frameworks, methodologies, domains, and layers
– Assignments and projects to demonstrate the skills and abilities of applying EA tools and techniques to real-world or simulated problems and scenarios
– Presentations and reports to showcase the results and recommendations of EA analysis, design, planning, and implementation
The course Enterprise Architecture 73 could have the following prerequisites and co-requisites:
– A basic understanding of IT systems, software engineering, and project management
– A familiarity
