NATO Architecture Framework (NAF) Training in Oslo

This instructor-led, live training in Oslo (online or onsite) is designed for beginner to advanced-level architects and enterprise architecture professionals seeking a comprehensive understanding and practical skills in utilizing NAF for enterprise architecture. It covers all aspects without focusing on specific views or functions. Sparx Enterprise Architect or other preferred tools will be used.

Upon completion of this training, participants will be capable of:

• Efficiently navigating NAF documentation.
• Utilizing Sparx Enterprise Architect for architecture-related tasks.
• Describing and understanding various types of NATO architectures.
• Generating and interpreting NATO Architecture Views.
• Identifying and analyzing stakeholders and Communities of Interest (CoIs).
• Aligning stakeholder interests with the architecture.
• Analyzing and documenting the architecture interests and impacts of CoIs.

This instructor-led, live training in Oslo (online or onsite) is designed for intermediate-level professionals who wish to understand and apply NAF to support enterprise architecture design and decision-making across defense-related projects.

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

• Understand the structure and purpose of the NATO Architecture Framework.
• Identify and describe various architecture views within NAF.
• Map stakeholder requirements to architectural components.
• Use tools like Sparx Enterprise Architect to create NAF-compliant models.

Objective: This course is designed to help participants apply the principles of the UAF and NAF enterprise architecture frameworks in practical scenarios.

Gaining insight into the concepts of UAF 1.1 within the context of the NATO NAF v4 Architecture Framework is highly valuable. The UAF Domain Meta-model (DMM) outlines various stakeholder concerns related to a system—such as security, information, and measurements—through a set of predefined viewpoints. These are then mapped to corresponding views in NAF v4.

Conversely, the Architecture Stages defined in the NATO NAF v4 Methodology assist in efficiently utilizing UAF views to ensure coherence and completeness. This approach enables traceability from high-level strategic goals down to the specific personal and physical resources required for their realization.

Throughout the course, participants progressively apply the concepts and techniques covered through an end-to-end case study and various associated exercises.
