Course 11772: Federal Segment Architecture Methodology (FSAM) Training

Upon completion of this workshop, the participanst will:

• Understand FSAM and its step-by-step process for developing and using segment architecture that leverages existing “best practice” analysis techniques
• Review easy-to-use templates to expedite architecture development
• Review comprehensive toolbox of suggested analytical techniques. 
• Understand analytical techniques that are provided for the outputs of each activity of a process step, as defined in FSAM, and are based on agency best practices that were assessed for inclusion by the FSAWG.   
• Review FSAM outputs that are generalized and may be satisfied by analytical techniques and best practices, as determined by each agency.
• Review “core FSAM outputs.

This workshop provide expert Enterprise Architecture program guidance and methods to create world-class Enterprise Architecture programs that can plan, create, and execute effective segment and solution architectures.

It provides Enterprise Architecture ranging from an introduction to Enterprise Architecture through advanced principles with the Federal Segment Architecture Methodology (FSAM) activity outputs and case studies.
