Please note: The above training-mentoring sessions are conducted interactively using a case study to demonstrate how to achieve a high level of traceability between business and IT system architectures.

Concepts are initially explained using case study examples. In on-site sessions, this may be followed by drafting solutions for your own business cases during the session.

Minor adjustments to the content may occur depending on the evolution of these standards and commercial strategies.
