Marine Corps Enterprise Architecture Certification

The Operational Architecture (OA) Branch supports capability development across the enterprise by consistently developing Department of Defense Architecture Framework (DoDAF) compliant architectures that satisfy the requirements defined in relevant Service guidance and policy, Joint guidance, and are completed within a time-line that supports effective decision-making by the customer.  The OA Branch has been developing Title 10 mandated Enterprise Architectures (EA) for over fifteen years and it and its contractors have used a number of tools over the years.

This requirement calls for Enterprise Architecture Certification for OA.  The training must be conducted either on site at Marine Corps Base Quantico, VA or locally.

This certification will need to provide a broad exposure to the Enterprise Ontology and a range of framework and methodology choices with specialization in the Department of Defense Architecture Framework (DoDAF) and the Federal Enterprise Architecture Framework (FEAF) that will give OA Branch EAs the ability to employ enterprise architecture and analyze their enterprise efforts. In addition to these frameworks a comparative Frameworks overview is provided to allow students to explore differences, similarities as well as recognized patterns between the required DODAF and FEAF frameworks. Lastly, it will need to provide required understanding of how to apply several different required modeling languages such as BPMN, SysML, IDEF and others.
