Training for the whole team
The added value

In the iSAQB Foundation Training all members of your team learn the core aspects of software architecture. Together we create:

a shared understanding of architecture
empowered and motivated teams
knowledge anchored directly within the team
better architecture decisions
fewer misunderstandings

After the training, the team can make architecture decisions consciously and evaluate their quality. In addition, all team members are optimally prepared for the Certified Professional for Software Architecture – Foundation Level (CPSA-F) certification.

Our training
Our plus for you

Your benefits
for successful architecture work as a team

Shared architecture understanding

The team develops a shared understanding of role, tasks and responsibility in architecture work. This is an important foundation for clear decisions.

Practices & methods for everyday work

The team learns proven methods and techniques of modern software architecture and can apply them directly in projects.

Better communication about architecture

Architecture is documented transparently and communicated clearly, so that teams and stakeholders can collaborate effectively.

Well-founded architecture decisions

Architecture decisions are made more deliberately and aligned with quality attributes – an important foundation for systems that remain maintainable long-term.

iSAQB® Foundation Key topics

Fundamental concepts of architecture work and architecture models
Constraints, standards & frameworks
Design principles and solution patterns and strategies
The roles of architects in teams and organisations
Making, documenting and communicating good architecture decisions
