Improve existing software systems in a targeted and methodical manner. Develop strategic approaches to achieve both technical and business goals.
This training is aimed at software developers and architects who want to improve existing systems in a targeted way. You already have practical experience in software architecture and development. Knowledge of a specific technology or programming language is not required.
Software architecture affects all members of a project and is intended to have a long operational life span. Improvements to the software architecture are therefore frequently required, whether as a result of new requirements or technological advances. In this training we’ll tackle the analysis of the existing software architecture, the identification of solution approaches, and the implementation of improvements.
In this variant by Markus Harrer of the IMPROVE training, developed by our trainer Markus, you modernize a real, physical system: a monolithic ball track from Fischertechnik that represents a credit application process. You analyze existing behavior, develop iterative solution ideas, divide the system into clearly defined modules, and create clean integrations. This immediately reveals what works and what doesn’t. This variant is also suitable for roles such as product owners or project managers who want to understand the challenges and solutions involved in dealing with mature software systems.
Do you want to participate in our next hands-on IMPROVE-training? You can recognize it by the addition “PRAXIS” in the training name in our sidebar.
The International Software Architecture Qualification Board (iSAQB®) brings together leading experts from industry, consulting companies, and science. This includes many people of distinction in the world of software architecture. And all with one goal: competent education and further training – internationally recognized, standardized, certified, and always up to date. We are proud that many of us as curators in iSAQB® have jointly masterminded the curricula and examination tasks.

In this book, we show you entertaining and practical ways to achieve better software architectures – effective, timeless, and technology-neutral! You will find typical behavior patterns of software architects, both good and bad. You will learn from successful patterns how to design better systems and work more effectively. From the "anti-patterns," you will derive remedies for poor architectural practices. Special attention is paid to the evolution and modification of systems.
This book provides software architects with a comprehensive collection of quality tactics to improve the quality of software systems. With hundreds of proven tactics, it is an indispensable tool for designing high-quality software architectures.
Once a week, Eberhard Wolff, Ralf D. Müller, or Lisa Maria Schäfer discuss topics related to software architecture in a live stream—often together with a guest.
With a wealth of practical strategies and case studies, this book shows how companies can use their software systems to stay ahead of the competition. Readers will find valuable suggestions for implementing strategies to further develop their software in a sustainable manner.
This practical guide shows you how software systems that have grown over many years can be effectively analyzed and evaluated.
You can also book this training as an in-house training course exclusively for your team. Please use the enquiry form for more details.
