iSAQB CPSA Advanced Level Modul AGILA
Agile Architecture – Stable enough for today, flexible enough for tomorrow.Format: Face-to-face and online training
Duration: 3 days
Perform effective architectural work in agile teams and projects using Scrum and Lean. This iSAQB-certified software architecture training teaches you how to design and evolve software systems and architectures according to agile methods such as Scrum and Lean. The training enables you to apply agile software development principles to architectural work and seamlessly integrate architectural practices into agile processes. Through practical examples, you will learn that agility and architecture are not contradictory but rather complement each other optimally through goal orientation and teamwork.
Upon completion of the training for the “CPSA Certified Professional for Software Architecture Advanced Level®,” you will receive a recognized certificate that confirms your expertise and qualifications in software architecture at an advanced level.
In the “AGILA – Agile Software Architecture” module, you can expect a hands-on training where you will learn to apply agile principles to architectural work, work iteratively, and make effective decisions. You will deepen methods for collaborating with stakeholders and teams, strengthen your communication and reflection skills, and gain valuable insights from real-world examples.
➤ You should have practical experience in the design and development of small to medium-sized software systems.
➤ Basic knowledge of handling architectural decisions, as well as their documentation and communication, is required.
➤ Ideally, you have already worked in agile software projects and gained experience with agile methodologies such as Scrum or Kanban.
➤ Knowledge in developing and prioritizing architectural requirements, as well as working with different stakeholders, is helpful.
➤ Initial experience with automated integration, testing, and software delivery will make it easier to get started.
Technical requirements
There are no specific requirements for the training environment, as the exercises will be conducted using cloud- and web-based tools like Miro, Draw.io, and platforms such as Jupyter or HuggingFace. A stable and sufficiently fast internet connection is the only requirement.
Your added value
➤ You design and integrate software architectures agilely and efficiently into projects.
➤ You approach architectural work iteratively, risk-based, and make informed decisions.
➤ You improve collaboration with stakeholders and prioritize requirements effectively.
➤ You apply agile methods in teams, promote local responsibility, and decision-making.
➤ You use practical techniques to implement agile concepts directly in projects.
➤ You strengthen reflection and feedback to continuously optimize architectural decisions.
