This is a superb way to learn ArchiMate, don’t think you are going to read it once and get everything out of it. This is a read and re read. I rarely give reviews but this is an outstanding read for anyone who is trying to model Enterprise Architecture
This is an excellent book and I was able to grasp concepts faster when compared to [the] ArchiMate Spec doc. So many others are all theory, but this book provides detail rational on how to model in ArchiMate using real life practi- cal examples
I very much liked the author’s style of combining both theory and practice in an explicit and honest way, discussing also the limits of ArchiMate and the pros and cons of proposed patterns
If you want to apply ArchiMate in practice, I know of no better resource.
A thorough and practical book on ArchiMate that does exactly what it’s title promises: it introduces you to the basics concepts and builds on that foundation to more complicated stuff and always using real life examples, hence enabling you to truly grasp the intricacies of the modeling stuff.
Excellent book to learn the formalism ArchiMate. Many concrete examples. Best practices, pitfalls to avoid. An essential complement to the standard document of the Open Group.
