NATO Architecture Framework (NAF) Training in Bologna

This instructor-led, live training in Bologna (online or on-site) is designed for architects and enterprise architecture professionals from beginner to advanced levels who seek a comprehensive understanding and practical skills in using the NAF for enterprise architecture. The course covers all aspects without focusing on specific views or functions, utilizing Sparx Enterprise Architect or other preferred tools.

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

• Efficiently navigate NAF documentation.
• Leverage Sparx Enterprise Architect for various architecture tasks.
• Articulate and comprehend different categories of NATO architectures.
• Create and interpret NATO Architecture Views.
• Identify and analyze stakeholders and Communities of Interest (CoIs).
• Align stakeholder interests with the architectural framework.
• Analyze and document the architectural interests and impacts of CoIs.

This instructor-led, live training in Bologna (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.

Objective: This course is designed to assist participants in applying the principles of the UAF and NAF enterprise architecture frameworks in practical scenarios.

Grasping the concepts of UAF 1.1 within the context of the NATO NAF v4 Architecture Framework is highly advantageous. The Domain Meta-model (DMM) of UAF delineates various stakeholder concerns related to a system, such as security, information, and measurements, through a set of predefined viewpoints. These are then mapped to the corresponding views in NAFv4.

Conversely, the Architecture Stages of the NATO NAFv4 Methodology facilitate an understanding of how to effectively utilize UAF views to ensure coherence and completeness. This approach enables traceability from high-level strategic goals down to the specific personal and physical resources required for their implementation.

Throughout the course, concepts and techniques are progressively applied by attendees through an end-to-end case study and various associated exercises.
