Course Description

The NATO Architecture Framework (NAF) provides guidance for developing and describing Enterprise Architectures. The architecture description can cover many aspects, including capability, operational, system, technical, performance, services provided, and evolution over time. HOPEX NAF brings more than 25 years of enterprise architecture modeling and process optimization expertise to serve the needs of large system architecture descriptions.

Expected Benefits

  • Apply MEGA’s methodology for managing NAF architecture projects.
  • Use NATO All Views (NAV) to define the scope and purpose of an architecture.
  • Use NATO Capability Views (NCV) to understand the capability approach.
  • Use NATO Operational Views (NOV) to describe operational nodes, functional processes, organizations, information models and information exchanges required to accomplish NATO missions.
  • Understand, through concrete examples and a series of exercises, the value added by the HOPEX repository, including integrated modeling rules and analysis reports.

How the course is organized

This course alternates theoretical presentations on Enterprise Architecture for NAF with the production of a real case scenario to enable a better understanding of the method and tool. This course is delivered by an experienced MEGA Consultant, who is knowledgeable in proper modelling techniques and an expert in the use of HOPEX NAF.
