Module 2: ADMBw structure and modeling foundation
- Purpose and scope of the German Armed Forces Architecture Data Model
- Main data objects, relationships, and modeling logic in ADMBw
- How ADMBw supports consistent architecture descriptions across domains
- Reading viewpoint examples without requiring deep UML or SysML knowledge
Module 3: Bundeswehr architecture management and use of architectures
- Role of architectures within Bundeswehr architecture management
- How architecture products support analysis, coordination, and traceability
- Governance perspective stakeholders, ownership, and model quality expectations
- Typical use cases across capability planning, procurement, and system integration
Module 4: Viewpoint navigation and notation by example
- How to approach a viewpoint from purpose, audience, and information content
- Interpreting common notation and relationship types through examples
- Distinguishing operational, service, system, and technical concerns
- Building confidence in reading viewpoint based architecture descriptions
Module 5: Capability, operational, and stakeholder oriented viewpoints
- Capturing capability needs, mission context, and stakeholder concerns
- Linking operational activities, information needs, and organizational elements
- Reading dependencies between operational requirements and architectural structure
- Common modeling patterns for clear and reusable operational views
Module 6: Service, system, and resource oriented viewpoints
- Modeling services, systems, resources, and interfaces in a consistent way
- Relating system elements to operational needs and capability support
- Structuring interface and dependency views with ADMBw aligned semantics
- Understanding how service and system viewpoints complement one another
Module 7: Technical, standards, and rule based viewpoints
- Representing technical constraints, standards, and policy relevant elements
- Linking technical choices to interoperability and compliance concerns
- Understanding rule sets, constraints, and their architectural implications
- Using technical viewpoints to support coherent design decisions
Module 8: Cross viewpoint consistency and quality
- Checking consistency across capability, operational, service, and system views
- Typical modeling errors and how to avoid ambiguity or duplication
- Traceability patterns from stakeholder concern to architectural representation
- Practical review criteria for understandable and decision ready models
Module 9: Cross architecture dependencies in CPM
- Overview of architecture dependencies across projects and planning layers in CPM
- How architectural information supports coherence across related initiatives
- Recognizing cross architecture impacts between capabilities, services, and systems
- Using dependency views to improve planning and risk awareness
Module 10: Contractor models in the Bundeswehr environment
- Typical differences between contractor system models and Bundeswehr architecture expectations
- Preparing external models for alignment with ADMBw semantics and structure
- Mapping system engineering artifacts into the architecture environment
- Handling granularity, naming, and traceability across organizational boundaries
Module 11: Integration patterns and exchange considerations
- Practical patterns for integrating external models into a managed architecture repository
- Information handover expectations structure, metadata, and relationship quality
- Working with partial model maturity while preserving consistency
- Coordination between customer architecture, contractor models, and governance requirements
Module 12: Consolidation and applied modeling workflow
- Selecting the right viewpoint set for a concrete architecture question
- Moving from concern to viewpoint to model content in a structured sequence
- Reviewing model packages for management, engineering, and integration audiences
- Building a practical checklist for future NAF 4.0 and ADMBw work
