Course - Nato Architecture Framework (NAF)
Getting the overview of NAF itself and how NAF fit's in to the bigger picture. What to do and not to do. Good EA exercise. Useful for our company and excellent for me as a newbie on SESAR.Impressive to see the speed with which the trainer reads UML and models in general. Working at high level, but at the same time keeping down to earth and showing practical use.
