Course - Introduction to Enterprise Architectures
The training has a straight forward approach, it guides you through the levels and the phases that are important. Basically, it makes sense if you pay a bit of attention. I really appreciate the timing: it starts on time, the lunch break is exactly when it is mentioned in the Agenda and so on.
