Author Description

The book is a primer for practitioners wishing to get to grips with the ArchiMate modelling language. The book's subject is using the ArchiMate® modelling language to model Enterprise Architecture (EA) in the form of an Enterprise Architecture Description (EAD). The narrative begins by examining the nature of Enterprise Architecture and the role of modelling. The reader is then progressively guided through the modelling tools offered by the ArchiMate specification, with detailed explanations and examples. This work will be useful to those EA practitioners who use or come into contact with the ArchiMate language on a regular or even infrequent basis, and all those who encounter EA within their business environment for any reason, such as Programme and Project Managers, IT Specialists, Business Analysts and others engaged in business transformation and strategy implementation. The book will also support people studying for certification in the use of the ArchiMate language.
