The software architecture training highlights the terminology and the significance of software architects.

It explains the tasks and responsibilities of software architects and their role in the project and presents state-of-the-art methods and techniques for the development of software architectures.

After the software architecture training, you are able to coordinate software architectures with your project team, to document the software architectures and to perform the main software architecture design steps yourself.

The software architecture training addresses software architects, software developers, software development managers and software team managers.

Project experience in software development; knowledge of a high-level language; principles of the UML notation for software modeling of advantage.
