COURSE OVERVIEW

Introduction to DoDAF Training course provides comprehensive information about the concepts, background, principles, and techniques of DoDAF. Introduction to DoDAF course will discuss the viewpoints, models, and DM2. Introduction to the DoDAF training course covers:

  • Basics of DoDAF and Architecture Frameworks
  • DoDAF 1.5
  • DoDAF 2.02

Introduction to DoDAF training course will teach you about architecting processes, methods, and thought patterns at a practical level. This hands-on training also will provide you with an overview of the models of DoDAF 2. Introduction to DoDAF course will help you understand and apply the DoDAF 2 models, review the principles of architecting and then use them to develop a DoDAF model compliant. In addition, you will learn about the “Fit for Purpose” models and how they can be incorporated into the DoDAF models.

The Introduction to DoDAF course is designed with a lecture-practice approach. It will be delivered in the form of an interactive workshop, the most majority of which is dedicated to hands-on activities, exercising with real-life examples, and eventually developing a DoDAF model in class.
