AI Implementation & Technical Architecture

Intermediate to Advanced5-7 hoursAI architecture blueprint + MLOps framework + deployment playbook

Turning AI prototypes into reliable, scalable production systems. MLOps, model serving, RAG architecture, monitoring, and the engineering discipline that most AI projects are missing.

...use case. Count each column. The winner is your primary approach. The other may complement it. Factor Points to RAG Points to fine-tuning Does knowledge change frequently? Do you need to cite sources? Is...

Architecture Decisions & ADRs

All levels — SA, EA, TS3-4 hoursADR template + decision log + rationale guide

How to capture, document, and govern architecture decisions using ADRs — the lightweight mechanism that turns tribal knowledge into shared understanding.

...use the lightweight process. Over five, you need something more formal. Where ADRs live — In version control, close to the code ADRs stored in a wiki no one checks, or in a shared drive no one navigates,...

Build / Buy / Partner / Participate — Ecosystem Strategy

Intermediate to Advanced (SA, EA, TS)5-6 hoursBuild/buy/partner/participate decision framework + vendor and ecosystem evaluation scorecard + exit and switching cost analysis template

How to decide what to build, what to buy, what to access through partners, and what to participate in through ecosystems — covering differentiation vs commodity analysis, vendor evaluation, total cost of ownership, interoperability velocity, exit strategy, and lock-in risk.

...Build only what genuinely differentiates. Build when the capability is a differentiator and you need control over its evolution: Build checklist: This capability directly differentiates us from competitors....

Application, Integration, API, Interface, Data & Process Design

Intermediate to Advanced (SA, EA)6-8 hoursIntegration design playbook + API design standards + data movement pattern guide

How the components of a solution are structured internally, how they communicate with each other, and how they connect to the data and processes they depend on.

...Internal layers — how the component is structured (presentation, business logic, data access). Entry points — how other components and users interact with it. Internal contracts — how the parts within the...

Current State & Target State Architecture

All levels — SA, EA, TS4-5 hoursAs-is / to-be architecture canvas + transition state design + maturity scale + AI readiness assessment

How to document what exists today, define what must exist tomorrow, and design the transition states that get you there — the discipline of architecture that connects present reality to future goals.

...the old one. "The target state is microservices" — without knowing the monolith has 40 integration points. "We'll replace the legacy system" — without understanding what it actually does today. "The data...

Common Architecture Patterns

Intermediate (SA, EA)5-7 hoursPattern selection guide + pattern comparison matrix + anti-pattern catalogue

Proven, reusable solutions to recurring structural problems — each with known trade-offs that make it suited to some contexts and unsuitable for others.

...the core. Clear boundaries — domain logic is isolated from infrastructure concerns. Multiple entry points — the same domain can be accessed via REST, CLI, messaging. Costs: indirection — more interfaces...

AI Use Case Discovery & Prioritization

Beginner to Intermediate4-5 hoursAI use case portfolio + prioritisation matrix + pilot shortlist

The hardest AI question is often not how to build, but what to build first. Learn how to find real use cases, assess fit, sequence experiments, and avoid expensive distractions.

...data, workflow, skills, and risk? Use cases with high value and high feasibility are natural starting points. Low-feasibility ideas are not always bad, but they should be treated as strategic investments...
