A software solution needs a good architectural design. That design must be business-driven and closely aligned to the corresponding business architecture. Without that, it can’t be the productivity booster the business needs. Without that, it can’t quickly and safely be adaptable to new requirements when the business needs to change. It will destroy the business’s agility.
Software development today is agile. Every part of it must be agile. Architectural design is no exception. Setting up the architecture in advance is no longer an option. Features must be made ready “just-in-time” for the sprint which will implement them. Therefore, agile must be one of the keywords for Certified Software Architect Microsoft Platform.
Architectural designed used to be set up by specific architects in the architecture department. That is no longer the case. Today’s architectures are designed in the developer’s room, by members of the development team. That’s why almost every modern developer should be trained in architecture. Because no matter what, the dev team as a whole is entirely responsible for the solution’s architecture.
I was ready when the big chance appeared! I had just been certified in the program when I got the task to architect a business-driven approach, based on Information as a Service (IAAS). Now, 2 years later, the entire application portfolio is based on IAAS, all due to the program Certified Software Architect Microsoft Platform. Dennis Johansson
I have very positive opinions about the program. The first part tought me an awful lot. It filled my toolbox with things I didn't have before. Now I have a support in documentation that was missing for me, and I have a process for turning bad requirements into useful ones. Daniel Klingstedt
This program has made me grow personally as well as - even more - professionally. I will truly nurture it, making sure that I'll be getting assignments where my recently acquired knowledge about and enormously increased interest for architecture will come to good use for me, for Sogeti, and above all for our customers' businesses.
