ArchiMate 3 Practitioner case studies
ArchiMate 3 Practitioner · Put your knowledge to work in context.
ArchiMate 3 Practitioner is the second tier in The Open Group's ArchiMate certification path, following ArchiMate 3 Foundation. The ArchiMate Specification, a standard of The Open Group, defines an open and independent modeling language for Enterprise Architecture, and the certification program exists to show that individuals are knowledgeable about that visual modeling language. The program's latest version covers the 3.2 release of the specification. Practitioner-level study assumes you can already read the language and instead tests whether you can apply it: choosing correct element types and relationship types across the Business, Application, and Technology layers, modeling cross-layer dependencies, deriving views from a base model, and communicating architecture to different stakeholder groups. The ArchiMate 3 Practitioner case studies are 5 cases and about 3,517 words.
