What you’ll take away – Your training content
The Flexible Camp teaches you how to thoroughly understand, design, and communicate software architecture. You’ll learn to analyze requirements systematically, develop architectural concepts methodically, and communicate technical decisions with clarity and transparency. Throughout the training, you’ll apply your knowledge to practical examples – creating a direct connection to real-world project situations.
Chapter 1: Structure & Foundations
Understand what constitutes good software architecture – and how to design systems that are clear, modular, and adaptable.
- Why software architecture is necessary
- Architecture definitions (including the iSAQB definition)
- Tasks and responsibilities of software architects
- Steps to designing good architectures
Chapter 3: Architecture documentation
Design robust systems with modules, components, and interfaces – transparent and flexible in design
- Goals and benefits of architecture documentation
- Architecture views & UML diagrams
- Best practices for diagrams and artifacts
- How to document "correctly"
Chapter 2: Developing architectures
Design robust systems with modules, components, and interfaces – transparent and flexible in design
- Business and domain architectures
- Top-down vs. Bottom-up-Design
- Layered Architectures, DDD, Microservices
- Design Patterns, SOLID, Dependency Inversion
- Technical architectures (integration, messaging, SOA)
- Crosscutting concerns: persistence, security, logging, I18N, UI
Chapter 4: Analysis & Evaluation
Evaluate and improve architectures systematically – for sustainable quality and maintainable systems
- Technical debt & maintainability
- Quality models (ISO 25010)
- Utility Trees & Quality Scenarios
- ATAM & other evaluation Methods

Practical project
Development of a complete architecture for a real-world scenario (ticket sales, management, planning, billing).
Requirements
A basic understanding of object-oriented analysis (OOA) and object-oriented programming (OOP) is helpful..

Our iSAQB®-accredited trainers design the training courses to be hands-on, oriented towards real problems and successful projects.
Richard Wallintin
Richard wants software to simply work. He’s convinced this is best achieved through independent teams who rigorously measure the success of their products. As an architect, consultant, and coach, he values passion, courage, and technical excellence. And of course, Richard always writes the test first.
