What an interesting day. For a while now I have wanted to do some sort of certification in the enterprise architecture realm. Mainly because I want to see if what I say all the time is actually the case and having a certification proving you know what you talking about never hurts!
Well I was extremely pleased with day one of the two day training presented by http://www.realirm.com. The supporting documents are clear, there are no gaps in the presenters knowledge and the environment is fun and interactive yet professional.
I was very please to find that my ideas are correct but today also filled in a few gaps I have been struggling with. The thing that has become glaringly clear is that the role of enterprise architect is one often misunderstood. While a technical background is a good idea, a great deal of the initial work is done outside the context of any specific technologies. This is the part I absolutely love! Being presented with a problem or in TOGAF terms a “concern” then finding solutions to that concern. Problem solving is something I thoroughly enjoy, whether it be code based or business based.
Really looking to tomorrow and once I have finished the foundational aspect I will most definitely be doing the next level.
