Our Services

We help current and aspiring IT architects develop the skills, experience, and methodologies required to transform enterprises, design architecture for projects of any size in a vendor- and platform-independent manner, and achieve experience-based professional certifications.

Consider to take this training if

You want to learn how to define architecture to any size project on any platform on a structured way which guarantees success
You have taken TOGAF or similar Enterprise Architecture training. Now want to learn how to transform the enterprise on project level, how to turn the opportunities into actual solutions
Your company have a solid Enterprise Architecture in place but you don't know or have difficulty how to turn those strategies into actual delivered projects
Your company have several IT architects, each of them works on its own way, they don’t talk a common language
Your IT systems are poorly documented or not documented at all

Training Overview

In this training we teach a framework backed up by common set of documents which will:

Enable your architects you deliver any size and type of IT project, define architecture independently from any technology or vendor in a repeatable manner
Make your architects talk a common language
Enable any professional in the IT field to learn how to be an architect
Teach a thinking process that an Architect follow during a project

Framework modules overview

1 - Why architecture

Definition of Architecture
Types and role of different architectures (IT, Solution, Enterprise, Infrastructure, Data, etc)
Value add of different architectures
How IT architecture scale to any project
Architectural viewpoints

The framework consists of several progressive modules that build upon one another to create a comprehensive architectural methodology.

2 - Collecting requirements

3 - Architecture overview, decisions and creation

4 - Planning for functional requirements

5 - Planning for non-functional requirements

6 - Migration and go-live

Define what requirements are
List the sources requirements can and should come from
Define the requirement types, how to split them
How to identify architecturally significant requirements
How to manage requirements over the project lifecycle
How to handle changing requirements

The two different architecture overview, why they are important, how to create and use them during the project
How to make architectural decisions factoring in requirements, project limitations and inherited principles
How to create vendor independent, project size agnostic architecture

What functional requirements are, how to find and identify them
How to create low level design based on the architecture overview which satisfy the functional requirements
How to identify the needed building blocks, integrate them into one cohesive solution which meet with the requirements
Different type of low level designs
Recommended tooling and best practices

What non-functional requirements are, how to find and identify them
How to create low level design based on the architecture overview which satisfy the non-functional requirements
How functional and non-functional requirements affect each other
Benefit and pitfall of hyperscalers, anti patterns to avoid

How to validate the architecture and the low level design to ensure it meet with requirements
Aspects of production go-live, what and how to prepare
How to identify groups concerned about go-live and change
How to mitigate risk
The different type of migrations and its impact on your project
