Introduction to the module
Many systems and organizations seem complex and difficult to understand—until you show their elements and structures and reveal relations and dependencies. Enterprises are such complex systems with their different organizational units and people working in the enterprise, with workflows and production processes, products and services offered to different customer groups, supplies and business partners, IT systems and production resources, etc.
Enterprise Modeling is a collection of techniques that help to capture the Enterprise Architecture with its different elements and structures and to visualize the inter-dependencies between the elements. Enterprise Modeling and Architecture can be used for a multitude of different purposes, like visualizing the current situation, analyzing the reasons for shortcomings or problems, developing strategies for business or IT, or setting up new cooperations with other enterprises. It supports strategic management of the organization by supporting change management, decision making, and planning processes both within the different business functions and for the IT support.

Course Learning objectives
At the end of this course, each student will be able to:
- Explain the purpose and value of Enterprise Architecture and modeling in aligning business strategy, information systems, and technology infrastructure.
- Describe major Enterprise Architecture frameworks (e.g., TOGAF, Zachman Framework, FEAF) and their use in structuring architectural work.
- Develop and use architectural views and models (business, data, application, and technology layers) to represent organizational elements and their relationships using an adequate notation (Archimate or Mega).
- Apply governance mechanisms and roadmap planning to guide architectural change and implementation.
