Open Agile Architecture (O-AA) is a brand new standard published by The Open Group in the second half of 2020. It contains a lot of useful techniques for agile and digital transformation of the architecture of the organisation.

Compared to other standards it focuses on current needs of architects and offers a number of concrete practical examples.

O-AA combines proven procedures into a coherent and functional unit. In addition to the standard, the course also includes many examples from the practice of our consultants and trainers which we use to explain how we design and control the architecture in an agile organisation.

Practical focus

On top of the content defined by The Open Group consortium we added additional content which shows how to design and manage the architecture in an agile environment.

  • Agile transformation in big corporation utilising Spotify and other agile approaches

  • Transformation of hierarchical organisation into autonomous units – tribes and squads – benefits and risks.

  • Non-agile methodologies integration into agile environment

  • Using customer journeys to understand customer needs and their benefits to architects.

  • Using Value streams, relationship to customer journeys and processes

  • Business capabilities development and evolution with relation to Value streams

  • Agile strategy definition – specifics and differences to standard strategy approaches

  • Real product architecture definition examples and product componentisation

  • Examples on agile software architecture, and event based integration

Certification

At the end of the course, it is possible to complete the certification according to the conditions and rules of the The Open Group consortium. Certification demonstrates knowledge of the standard and the ability to apply it in practice.
Being certified may distinguish certificate holders from other architects when applying for jobs and is perceived as  a mark of their focus on continuous education.
The certification exam is delivered as a computer test with 40 questions. Attendees practise sample test questions during the course, answers are immediately evaluated by the trainer and unclear areas are explained again.
The exam cost is 360 USD and is not included in course price.
