Luckily, there is help. This tutorial focuses on the skills needed to be an effective architect. Whether you’re an Enterprise architect, solution architect, IT architect, or software architect, this course will provide practical principles, skills, and techniques for improving your job.
The course is structured to complement a project lifecycle and explores the skills involved in carrying a project from ideation and conception through design and implementation and the engagement models and interactions with different stakeholders (both architectural project and solution project).
