iSAQB® Training
Collaborative Software Modeling
Official iSAQB® CPSA Advanced Level module (COSMO)- Achieve lasting success
- Build methodological expertise
- Experience EventStorming
- Facilitation fundamentals
THE training for collaborative architecture work
Collaborative Software Modeling combines EventStorming with further methods that build on one another - with one clear goal:
Develop sound architecture decisions together.
In our Collaborative Software Modeling training, you learn to make complex domains visible as a team and translate them step by step into sound architecture.
- Experience collaborative practices - understand how to apply them, and how to create the conditions for successful sessions
- Take part in an EventStorming session - and get to know complementary practices
- Recognise obstacles in organisational culture - and how you can overcome them
- Learn to break down barriers - instead of running into walls
- Design workshops effectively - through structured collaborative modelling
- Get started with facilitation - learn the key success factors for collaborative sessions
Methods that build on one another
EventStorming is the starting point, not the goal. The shared Big Picture reveals the questions we dig into with lightweight methods - all the way to concrete implementation options and architecture decisions.
- Big Picture: make complex domains visible as a team
- Dig deeper: work through hotspots and open questions in a structured way
- Decide: evaluate implementation options and define architectural boundaries
- Anchor: document results in a clear, traceable way

Topics in focus
Collaborative modelling
Create a shared understanding, make knowledge visible and model complex relationships as a team.
EventStorming & more
Jointly explore business processes and events - and dig deeper with complementary, lightweight methods.
Architecture decisions
Derive domain boundaries, technical encapsulation and solution strategies from models - evaluate them soundly and document them transparently.
Sociotechnical systems
Understand how people, organisations and software architecture together shape the success of a system.
Moderation & facilitation
Professionally prepare, moderate and guide modelling workshops towards sound outcomes.
Roles in architecture work
Understand responsibility in collaborative architecture processes, reflect on your own impact and use roles deliberately.
How the training works
- Start concisely, yet with a solid foundation – a compact introduction to the goal and structure of each practice.
- Work in groups – applying the practice to realistic scenarios from real project situations.
- Reflect together – reviewing the results, the impact of the method and typical pitfalls.
- Plan the transfer – deriving concrete steps for using what you've learned in your own workshops.
A strong practical focus, visual and collaborative techniques, and a clear decision logic run through the entire training.
Who is Collaborative Software Modeling for?
For everyone who develops software as a team and wants to make better decisions together.
- Developers & architects who want to bring development and architecture closer together
- Product owners, domain experts & testers as active modelling partners
- Team leads & tech leads who want to establish collaborative domain work in a structured way
Prerequisites: No specific architecture knowledge required – curiosity about collaborative modelling is enough.
What you gain from the Collaborative Software Modeling training
Clarity on methods
You know which collaborative method fits which context.
From model to architecture
You build shared mental models, define domain boundaries and design solution strategies.
Hands-on experience
You experience at least two collaborative methods first-hand.
Sustainable skill-building
Instead of isolated exercises, you build robust methodological expertise for yourself and your team.
Your trainer
Tom Asel – Co-Founder, Head of Architecture, Trainer.
Tom co-founded tangible concepts in 2022 and has since been our ambassador at numerous community events and conferences. His heart has been in software architecture since the early 2000s.
Collaborative Software Modeling is not a side activity at tangible concepts: we are firmly embedded in the CoSMo community and regularly share our knowledge at conferences and within the community.
