| Topic | Details |
| Topic 1 | - Enterprise Architects explain how to define and classify architecture viewpoints and the steps involved. They also need to create views by applying the mechanisms and concepts from different layers and derivation rules. Finally, candidates demonstrate the use of viewpoint mechanisms in real modeling scenarios, emphasizing their importance in addressing stakeholder concerns.
|
| Topic 2 | - Relationships: This section assesses Solution Architects in explaining and applying derivation rules for relationships in ArchiMate. Candidates should demonstrate the use of these rules in practical modeling situations and understand derivation rules for potential relationships.
|
| Topic 3 | - Strategy Modeling: Strategy Consultants must explain the use of strategy elements together with motivation and core concepts. They are also required to distinguish between key concepts such as resource, capability, value streams, and courses of action. Application of strategy layer concepts and relationships in real-world modeling scenarios is expected.
|
| Topic 4 | - Implementation and Migration: Program Managers demonstrate understanding of the elements and relationships in the implementation and migration metamodel. They must show how to apply these elements to develop transition architectures and use them effectively in real-case modeling. Understanding relationships with other layers and aspects is also required.
|
| Topic 5 | - Motivation Modeling: Business Analysts are assessed on explaining motivation elements like stakeholder, driver, assessment, goals, outcomes, principles, requirements, constraints, meanings, and values. They also need to describe how motivation elements relate to core elements to show the connection between motivation and implementation.
|
| Topic 6 | - Business Layer: Business Process Architects demonstrate their skills in applying business layer elements, including active structure, behavior, and passive structure elements, in real-case modeling scenarios. They must also explain the use of composite elements within the business layer.
|
| Topic 7 | - Relationships between Core Layers: Solution Architects must explain the correct usage of relationships between core layers using established rules and examples. Application of derivation relationships in these cross-layer relationships is also assessed.
