Note: The training and mentoring sessions described above are conducted interactively using a case study to demonstrate how to maintain high levels of traceability between business and IT system architectures.
Concepts are initially explained through case study examples, and in on-site sessions, participants may develop solution drafts for their own business cases during these sessions.
Minor adjustments to the content may be made based on the evolution of standards and commercial strategies.
