Hi Friends,
I cleared the "SAP Enterprise Architect" certification on July 23rd. My reflections on this exam were that it's well designed and on the harder side. Pay attention to the published pdf guide including the knowledge base articles that are included in it. Follow the below
1) Understand the SAP Framework - Since it's based on Togaf, reading a book or watching some online videos (Knotion Togaf 9 training video part 1 of 10 - YouTube) would be handy. After that, read the SAP EA methodology blog with the visual.
2) Artifacts and their applicability to business scenarios - EA is about aligning IT investments to business. EA would focus, initially, on understanding the vision, drivers, external context and changing business model. They extract the ABB (conceptual architecture building blocks) required to enable business imperative and then map them to the technology specific/aware SBB(Solution Architecture Building Blocks). This is where the SAP Business and Solution Reference architectures comes in very handy.
3) SAP Reference architectures including its content meta-model (Capability, Process, Data, Role), and an understanding of SAP's ADM.
4.) SAP Tech Strategies/Direction alignment - Understand and apply Clear Core, BTP, Extension approach concepts around the "One unified Office principle" which includes guidance around how do create space for business model innovation by keeping core clean and building apps, extensions, integrations using the BTP platform.
If you are curious, my background was in EA and have been using ADM(Architecture Development Methodology)/business architecture since 2013.
Thanks
Update - Based on community feedback received
Hi
If there is enough interest, I could capture my lessons and 10 plus years of Enterprise architecture experience in a YouTube channel. If we have15-20 people who voted yes, I would be happy to spend time sharing my skills for the broader benefit of EA community in SAP.
