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,...

AI Agents and Automation
Intermediate to Advanced6-8 hoursAgent use case map + architecture blueprint + governance framework

AI agents — what they are, how they work, the protocols shaping them (MCP, A2A), and the governance you need before you let one act on your behalf. The bridge between AI that talks and AI that does.

...and A2A Tool use — giving agents hands Memory — what agents remember Multi-agent systems Governance — controlling agents The agent architecture in one diagram Cheat sheet The shift from automation to agency...

Data and AI
Intermediate4-6 hoursData readiness assessment + governance framework + pipeline blueprint

The data foundations that make AI work. Data quality, governance, architecture, pipelines, and the GenAI shift from training to retrieval. Most AI failures are data failures — learn the patterns and prevent them.

...it Data without governance is a liability. Data with governance is an asset. The difference is who controls it, who can access it, and how it's protected. Component Key question AI implication Data ownership...

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.
