Mudar BahriPractical Model-Driven Enterprise Architecture: Design a mature enterprise architecture repository using Sparx Systems Enterprise Architect and ArchiMate® 3.1

Only just received this book so not read it so cannot comment on the content. However, the quality of reproduction is absolutely aweful. I received a number of books in the same order and each book, like this one, printed in Great Britain by Amazon, is either misaligned in printing or a number of the pages are bent and creased. Shocking quality control on book reproduction by Amazon!

Great book if you want to really understand Archimate 3.1 and all the details .... Great to lear Sparx EA at the same time !!!

Great Architecture book that delves into bridging actual implementation of an Architecture Framework and a Tool. There are many books on Architecture Frameworks, and there are many tool specific books, but very few that explain how to implement a framework in a tool.Mudar and Williams have taken the ArchiMate 3.1 Framework which can be easily transposed onto other modeling standards such as UML, TOGAF, BPMN and created a step by step process for implementing a repository. As most tools are fairly similar for modeling, I would recommend this book for those that are using other UML Modeling tools as well.Very well written as it takes a standard (ArchiMate) and shows how to implement using an imaginary shipping company. If you do not know ArchiMate, this book is a great introduction. If you do, this book is a very good implementation guide.Finally, one of the best parts of this book is the guides for implementing architectural frameworks in a repository. If you use another framework, and even another tool, the best practices in implementing a repository make this book valuable for starting up a new architectural repository (or optimizing one currently in use).
