Sparx Systems Enterprise Architect – Fundamentals (2 days)

Sparx Systems Enterprise Architect is a full lifecycle modeling and design tool with an installed base of more than 850,000 licenses and supported by 230 partners in 160 countries.

Introduction to Enterprise Architect is intended for those new to the use of UML based modeling and design tools. It provides students with the information and knowledge to start using Sparx Systems Enterprise Architect (EA) productively in their organization. More importantly, students will gain the confidence to use more of the tools capabilities on their own.  The course is offered in both public and private settings.

Beginning with an overview of architecture, design, and the Unified Modeling Language (UML), students will then have hands-on opportunities to learn to use the tool for a variety of common activities in typical usage scenarios like
requirements development, business/enterprise architecture, or systems architecture/engineering.

The course topics are introduced as part of hands on exercises, which can be customized to meet organizational needs (e.g., business modeling, requirements development, systems architecture, etc.) when delivered in a corporate setting. Students will work with version 15.1 of Sparx Systems Enterprise Architect.  Other versions can be used upon request. Common EA activities will be exercised by students to create a project and model elements such as requirements, use cases, structural and behavioral diagrams. The focus is on providing a working knowledge of the tool using it as a means of communication with stakeholders and analysis. At the conclusion of the course students will be prepared to effectively use EA in their work.
