From Developer to Architect

Grow as a Software Architect while enjoying your development journey!

Were you recently promoted to an architecture role? Do you feel overwhelmed by the change? Or are you aiming to become an architect? Join this learning program and your transition will be smooth.

Switching from a Developer to an architecture role can be difficult. Suddenly you need to face long-term problems, risks, possible failures, and the certainty of making decisions that will backfire sooner or later.

But it doesn’t have to be this way. We work with you to prepare you for the new role or to better adapt to your existing role. We discuss industry standards, what it means to be an architect, and we help you figure out your role within your organization. Then we focus on the practices of an architect, including basic diagrams, communication, risk management, and keeping up to date with relevant knowledge.

Feedback from your experienced trainers, inspired by their wide experience as practitioners building products, will help you get the most out of the practice sessions.
