The training courses offered by Simplify Software Architecture are aimed at experienced software architects who want practical tools with a theoretical foundation.Whether in everyday working life or for the iSAQB CPSA-A exam, the knowledge imparted in the training courses can be applied immediately in practice. The concepts and methods taught are proven in practice and theoretically sound. Each training course lasts one day and covers the following topics:
“Software architecture is the sum of the decisions made” - and the quality of the resulting software architecture depends on the quality of these decisions. In this training course, you will learn how to make or bring about good software architecture decisions.
‍
We look at what decisions are and what makes them important for software architecture work. The main focus is on the stakeholders of software architecture decisions. The training also teaches what happens psychologically and socially when decisions are made. A key aspect of this is structural biases, which have an unfavorable influence on decisions in practice. The training will show you how to deal with these biases.
‍
You will then learn what communication means for decisions. We will discuss together how decisions can best be structured in a comprehensible way, e.g. with Architectural Decision Records (ADRs) and how software architects can clarify the necessity of certain decisions.
‍
The last part deals with concrete decision-making, the role of factors such as trust, responsibility, power and politics and how you as a software architect can deal with unpleasant decisions.
‍
The training is rounded off with an overview of models of how decisions can come about in groups and teams - and where you should consciously hold back when making decisions.
