Organizations are increasingly using architecture tools to develop and manage their architecture products, such as Project Start Architectures and Reference Architectures. Secondly, organizations use standards such as ArchiMate and Togaf. Sparx's Enterprise Architect product is increasingly being used for this purpose. The choice for this product is easily explained. Multiple modeling methods are supported, such as UML, BPMN, ArchiMate and Togaf. In addition, the product offers multiple forms to unlock the models, such as reports, HTML pages and export to various standards. The final advantages are the adaptability and expandability in combination with a very competitive price.
However, how do you use an architecture tool within your own organization, which modeling methods do you choose and how do you manage and develop your architecture products? In this workshop you will become acquainted with the extensive possibilities of this product through practice. You will work hands-on on a simple architectural model and thereby learn the basics of architectural modeling and the use of repositories.
