This instructor-led, live training in US (online or onsite) is designed for software engineers and developers seeking to plan, design, oversee, and manage software development through formal architectural methods.

Upon completion of this training, participants will be able to:

• Recognize the significance of architectural discipline in software development.
• Apply architectural methods to enhance development practices.
• Utilize the architecting process for management and evaluation of technical workflows.
• Structure complex applications through systematic architectural approaches.
• Implement decision-making frameworks to resolve issues and define accountabilities within development teams.
• Assume confident ownership of technical decisions.
• Visualize system architectures using established models and diagrams.
• Apply standards and risk assessment to build resilient and agile architectures.

This 8-hour instructor-led course for government focuses on aligning software project execution with architectural strategy. Participants will learn to integrate architectural decisions with project goals using C4, UML, and Archimate, acquiring practical skills essential for modern development environments.

This practical three-day program provides a comprehensive introduction to modern cloud and software architecture. It integrates Azure cloud services with essential architectural principles for designing applications that are scalable, secure, resilient, and maintainable for government operations. Participants will examine Azure architecture, core services, disaster recovery strategies, Infrastructure as Code, and the critical role of the software architect.

The curriculum advances from Clean Architecture and monolithic modernization to Domain-Driven Design, CQRS, Event Sourcing, and microservices. Through hands-on labs utilizing Azure and .NET, participants will apply these concepts to real-world architectural scenarios, learning to make informed decisions based on both technical and business requirements.

As distributed systems increase in complexity, the focal point of architectural challenges shifts from individual applications to the collective architecture governing a suite of interconnected systems. This curriculum addresses the intersection of Software Architecture and Technical Enterprise Architecture, emphasizing the critical, yet often insufficiently documented, interdependence between these disciplines. For instance, decomposing a complex monolithic application into two distinct systems interacting via web services necessitates significant modifications to both the internal logic of the new components and the external architectural relationships connecting them.

This course will examine the strategic trade-offs involved in these decisions, reviewing prevailing patterns and solutions for managing complex system environments and the communication mechanisms operating within and across these frameworks, tailored for government operational standards.
