By the end of this 3-day course, participants will: - Understand how to utilize AI as a "subject matter expert" in defining system/software models. - Be familiar with "the four pillars of SysML" (Requirements, Structure, Behavior, and Parametrics). - Know how to structure their SysML models to accommodate software components, including: - Generating User Interface Code from Behavior Models - Generating Database Code from Structure Models - Generating Microcontroller Code from State Machines This training is aligned with best practices for government, ensuring that participants can apply these skills effectively within public sector workflows and governance frameworks.

The course is structured to provide a comprehensive overview of the Systems Modeling Language (SysML), its practical application using MagicDraw/Cameo software, essential Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) simulation methods, and recommended best practices for government. This curriculum ensures that participants gain a solid foundation in SysML and MBSE, aligning with the standards and workflows required for effective project management and system development in the public sector.

This introductory course on Enterprise Architect is tailored for individuals who intend to utilize Sparx Systems' UML modeling tool, Enterprise Architect, for their modeling tasks but are not yet familiar with its features, functionalities, and usage. The training is designed to equip participants with the necessary skills to effectively leverage this tool in their professional workflows, ensuring alignment with public sector requirements and standards for government.

This course provides a comprehensive overview of building and maintaining an Enterprise Architecture (EA) using the Unified Architecture Framework (UAF) version 1.2, through a combination of lectures, demonstrations, and interactive labs. The curriculum is designed to equip participants with the essential knowledge and skills necessary for government professionals to effectively implement and manage EA initiatives in alignment with public sector workflows, governance, and accountability standards.

The course is designed to provide foundational instruction on the Systems Modeling Language (SysML), its application through the MagicDraw/Cameo software, and basic Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) simulation techniques. It also covers best practices in MBSE for government use. Participants will learn how to create templates and generate reports within the MagicDraw/Cameo tool suite. Additionally, the course delves into the functionality of macros and scripts within MagicDraw, including their various applications.

The course is structured to instruct participants in the foundational elements of the Systems Modeling Language (SysML), its practical application using MagicDraw/Cameo software, essential Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) simulation techniques, and recommended best practices in MBSE. This training is also intended to equip professionals with an understanding of architectural simulation principles, an overview of the Simulation Toolkit plugin, the ability to simulate various diagram types, and the methodology for integrating these simulations to automate the architecture. The content is tailored to enhance skills and knowledge for government professionals involved in systems engineering and modeling.

This course provides a comprehensive overview of building and maintaining an Enterprise Architecture (EA) using the Unified Architecture Framework (UAF) version 1.2. Through a combination of lectures, demonstrations, and interactive labs, participants will gain a solid foundation in the principles and practices essential for government applications. The curriculum is designed to align with public sector workflows, governance, and accountability standards.

Overview in Category

This instructor-led, live training, available both online and on-site, is designed for government professionals at beginner to intermediate levels who aim to understand configuration management risks and apply product line engineering concepts with or without dedicated tools.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Analyze risks associated with product changes throughout their lifecycle
• Implement best practices in configuration management for government operations
• Gain a comprehensive understanding of key concepts in product line engineering
• Model variability and product lines, utilizing or not utilizing specific tools
• Establish an end-to-end process from defining variability to deriving products
• Assess the advantages of using tools such as pure::variants and FeatureIDE in government contexts

This instructor-led, live training, available both online and onsite, is designed for beginner-level professionals who wish to utilize pure::variants to understand and implement product line engineering concepts.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Comprehend product line engineering principles as applied with pure::variants
• Evaluate best practices for product line modeling
• Execute an end-to-end variability process, from definition to variant instantiation
• Integrate pure::variants with connectors such as Microsoft Office, enhancing workflows for government and other sectors

In this instructor-led, live training in US (online or onsite), participants will learn how to utilize SysML as implemented in Enterprise Architect (EA) to conduct system requirements analysis and modeling for government.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Understand and apply SysML to Systems Engineering projects using a Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) approach.
• Identify system requirements based on use case models.
• Design and analyze system architecture.

The course is designed for analysts, designers, developers, testers, and project managers in the public sector. This workshop focuses on problem analysis, design, and documentation systems using UML and Enterprise Architect from Sparx Systems. Throughout the training, participants will explore advanced capabilities of the program, such as MDA, profiles, and XMI, along with best practices that can significantly simplify and accelerate modeling processes for government. Since the training emphasizes the use of the Enterprise Architect tool, it is essential that participants already have a foundational knowledge of UML modeling. For those who need to learn UML, we offer dedicated training sessions specifically designed for this purpose.

The Training Method

The training method consists of 10% lecture and 90% hands-on workshop activities.

This course is designed for government business analysts, managers, team leads, and process owners to equip them with the necessary competencies for developing use case diagrams and scenarios. These tools are essential for eliciting, analyzing, documenting, and communicating functional requirements within public sector workflows. Participants will practice creating use cases in the Unified Modeling Language (UML) to visually represent the interactions between use cases and actors, ensuring alignment with government standards for governance and accountability.
