Description

Simplify Software Architecture

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 professional 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:

Risk management for software architects

Designing software architectures means actively dealing with the risks of decisions, evaluating them and developing strategies to manage these risks. In this training course, you will learn how to assess risks in connection with software architecture in a structured and well-founded manner.

You will learn to identify risks and differentiate them from non-risks. The focus is on risks that arise from software architecture decisions or are mitigated by them.

During the course of the training, we will show you where the classic high/medium/low assessment of risks is inadequate and what alternatives there are. Particular attention is paid to the impact analysis of risks, which is an alternative to the calculation of expected values and ensures the ability to act when risks occur. In this way, you learn to think about risk management in software architecture in terms of consequences. The risk models also shed light on the psychological aspects of risk management and the personal responsibility that goes hand in hand with the task of risk management.

In addition to the tools of risk management, you will also learn how to talk to stakeholders about risks, make clear the need for action and consider the limits of what is feasible in risk management.
