iSAQB® Module AGILA – Focus on Agile Software Architecture

In our iSAQB® CPSA Advanced Training, we focus on agile software architecture, particularly within the framework of the AGILA module. Our participants learn how to design and develop software systems and architectures according to agile principles. We impart practical knowledge of key principles, methodologies, and techniques that are crucial for the iterative and incremental development of modern software architectures. The training considers two key perspectives. On the one hand, the transfer of agile principles to architecture work, where participants learn how agile values and practices can be integrated into architecture development. On the other hand, the integration of architecture practices into agile processes. Here, we show how proven architecture approaches can be meaningfully embedded in agile procedures.

Agile software architecture is becoming increasingly important in today’s software development. Software developers and architects are therefore required to expand their skills and knowledge in this area. Our training prepares participants to acquire the necessary skills to work successfully in agile environments and master the challenges of modern development processes.

Agenda: Contents and schedule of the CPSA training course

Our iSAQB® CPSA Advanced Training at inovex offers practical knowledge, taught by qualified trainers, for anyone who wants to expand and deepen their skills in agile software architecture. The training covers the iSAQB® CPSA-A AGILA curriculum and is accredited by the iSAQB®.

Software architecture

The training provides a deep understanding of modern software architectures in an agile context. You will learn how to balance architectural decisions with technical excellence and business requirements.

Living architectural vision instead of big upfront design (BUFD)

Instead of rigid architectural plans, you will learn how to continuously develop a flexible architectural vision. This ensures that the team remains clearly focused, even when conditions change.

Risk-based prioritization

The iSAQB® CPSA Advanced Level Training focuses on the risk-oriented assessment of architectural decisions. You will learn how to identify technical risks at an early stage and prioritize them in a targeted manner.

Designing architecture in the backlog iteratively and agilely

A central element of the iSAQB® CPSA Advanced training course is the embedding of architecture topics in the agile backlog. You will learn how architecture work can be meaningfully integrated into iterative development cycles.

Modern role models for architectural tasks

The iSAQB® CPSA Advanced content teaches how architectural responsibility can be distributed within a team. Instead of central decision-makers, collaborative role models come to the fore.

Making decisions together as a team

You will learn how architectural decisions are made by consensus within a team. This not only improves the quality of the decisions, but also promotes acceptance and commitment among all participants.

Guidelines instead of rules through architectural principles

The training shows how clear principles serve as guidelines without compromising agility. This allows technological freedom to be reconciled with strategic goals.

The urgency of architectural issues and the last reasonable moment

Another focus is on the right timing for architectural decisions. You will learn how to identify the “last responsible moment” in order to manage architectural issues efficiently.

Embedding architecture in agile organizations

The iSAQB® CPSA Advanced training course teaches methods for sustainably anchoring architectural expertise within an organization. You will learn how architectural work can be structurally promoted in an agile setup.

Measure and evaluate architecture and identify problems

Finally, you will learn techniques for measuring the quality of software architecture. This will help you identify weaknesses early on and make continuous improvements.

Who is the iSAQB® CPSA Advanced Training suitable for?

The iSAQB® CPSA Advanced Training from inovex is specifically aimed at software developers with architectural responsibilities and software architects in agile projects who want to prepare for certification as a Certified Professional for Software Architecture Advanced Level (CPSA-A). The training is also suitable for Scrum Masters and Product Owners with technical affinity who want to deepen their knowledge of agile software architecture.

To get the most out of our training, you should have a basic knowledge of agile working methods. Your goal should be to deepen and expand your existing knowledge. It is advantageous if you have already taken the CPSA-F exam, i.e., the Certified Professional for Software Architecture Foundation Level. However, this is not a prerequisite.

Our participants generally have the following training goals:

  • Preparation for certification
  • Learn agile working methods for daily project work
  • Establish a foundation of knowledge and understanding for the entire team
  • consolidate and structure existing knowledge

If you recognize yourself in one of these goals and want to obtain certification as official proof of your competence, you’ve come to the right place.

Credit points (CPs) at a glance

Before you can obtain the iSAQB® CPSA Advanced Level certification, you must first earn a total of 70 credit points from officially recognized training courses. These credit points are distributed across three areas of competence and ensure that you have sufficient knowledge before registering for the exam. This training course awards credit points in the areas of methodology (20 credits) and communication (10 credits).

What are credit points in the iSAQB® system?

In the iSAQB® system, credit points are required proof that you have sufficient and balanced knowledge in the following three areas of competence:

Technical Competence

This area focuses on technical architecture topics such as modularization, integration concepts, quality assurance, and technology use. You will learn how to make informed complex technical decisions.

Methodological Competence

The focus here is on structured procedures, modeling techniques, and agile methods. The aim is to make architectural work comprehensible, systematic, and goal-oriented.

Communication Skills

In this area, you will develop your skills in collaborating and communicating with stakeholders, teams, and management. The focus here is on mediation, moderation, and decision-making within teams.

What specific problems can be solved by our training?

Our participants regularly face challenges in the area of software architecture in their companies. With our iSAQB® CPSA Advanced Training, we can provide targeted assistance and support you and your team in solving these problems. Please let our trainers know if you have a specific concern that we can help with, for example:

Would you like to ensure that common agile methods for software architecture are established in your projects? Our training will help you do just that.

If you already have an architecture in place, the training will help you identify and implement suitable improvements.

Our training helps you fill any gaps in your knowledge, e.g., with regard to architecture documentation and architecture analysis.
