Agile DoDAF 2 + UAF + SysML Applied™: Tool-Independent edition

COURSE ID: WS-DODAF-UML-TI
DESCRIPTION: This introductory Agile DoDAF 2 + UAF training workshop provides students with a solid foundation for applying Model-Based Systems Engineering principles and best practices compliant with the DoD Architecture Framework 2 (DoDAF 2) and Unified Architecture Framework (UAF) standards. The workshop teaches students how to solve practical problems using Agile DoDAF 2, a lightweight subset of DoDAF 2 viewpoints, and SysML diagram types designed to specify Systems-of-Systems. Learning modules are punctuated with frequent Q&A sessions and hands-on practice exercises.

This Agile DoDAF 2 + UAF workshop edition is customized to use the Systems Modeling Language (SysML) standard as the specification language to specify DoDAF- and UAF-compliant system architectures in a tool-independent manner. SysML is the industry standard for specifying systems engineering applications. SysML is used in a manner that complies with the UAF (formerly Unified Profile for DoDAF & MODAF 2 [UPDM 2]) standard.

For versions of this Agile DoDAF 2 + UAF workshop customized for other specification languages (UML 2, ArchiMate 3) and other popular architecture modeling tools, see the Agile DoDAF 2 + UAF training page.

• How DoDAF + SysML + UAF + Enterprise Architect can specify work artifacts for the full system lifecycle: requirements through testing
• How to allocate essential SysML diagrams to essential DoDAF Viewpoint products 
• How to efficiently trace system capabilities and requirements to essential DoDAF Viewpoint products
• Practical guidelines for specifying correct, complete, clear, concise, and consistent DoDAF specifications
• How to select DoDAF2-SysML-UAF compliant tools and compatible processes
• How to learn more about DoDAF 2 and SysML architecture modeling

COURSE AUTHOR & CHIEF INSTRUCTOR: Cris Kobryn is the Founder of PivotPoint Technology and is an internationally-recognized expert in system architecture modeling languages (UML, SysML, BPMN, ArchiMate), enterprise architecture frameworks (DoDAF, UPDM, TOGAF), and Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) tools. Cris has been architecting and designing distributed computer systems for three decades, and is known for successfully leading the UML 1.x, UML 2.0, and SysML international standardization teams. Recently, he designed the CyberML™ (Cyber Modeling Language™) to precisely specify Agile enterprise architectures that are scalable and cybersecure.
